2013 370z DLo's brake cooling duct mod installed

synolimit · 09-12-2013, 10:08 PM

I took DLo's advice off his cooling duct brake line build and applied it to a 2013. The whole thing was pretty easy since I have my windsheild washer bottle relocated to the trunk. I had to install them out to the side more because that was the flattest part of the bumper since I don't have a nismo. But its a strait shot back to the rotor this way and the same height. I basically have 1 90* turn into the rotor so the air flow should be really fast!

I didn't use the 4" inlet like he did but the 3" I saw on a yellow nismo he posted in his thread. The reducer down to 2" was a simple buy and the only thing I had to do was drill some holes in the Revotec inlets. Again the bumper isn't completely smooth and I didn't want the 2 sided tape to fail. I just got some SS screws and counter sunk the inlet so the screw is flat against it. Yes ill be painting the screws black.

Next up some hood vents and some air for my intakes to breath. Might look a little busy though coming at you with so many black vents.

That looks pretty clean bro. Where how did you cut out the holes? And Where are you getting the hood vents from eBay? I was planning to add them to my oem hood, and enlarge the vents to allow heat from engine to dissipate. I'm subbing to see how your installcome out. Nice work!

Thanks. I just used a 3 5/8 hole saw. Yeah probably eBay for both vents.
