Check out: Brake Cooling Options

And pay close attention to the 'Scoop mounted to control arm'. You can route a hose to under the control arm, and on track days when you do not have to worry about clearance, you can simply attach the huge scoop (to make up for the low pressure area) to the pre-installed hoses.

Great write up, I am in the middle of trying install a brake duct kit for my 370z as I'm gonna track it at Laguna Seca next month. Where did you get the Aluminum Flange at? Most of the ones I found has 2 rivot flanges that extends out of the circular shape. Link

I don't know if the brake dust shield will have enough room for this particular shape.
