functional GTR scoops on a Solid Red 370z SIMOTA1
 

hey everyone... as some of you know i have purchased the oem GTR r35 scoops for my z... i had to cut holes in my hood because i wanted them functional... it was a pain in the *** to line up the scoops because they are curved a lil bit.... so i positioned them on the hood where it is curved a lil bit... i have no idea how mount oem wise and i couldnt figure out a way to mount them so they are siliconed on my hood... ALOT of silicon... they fit pretty nice :D here are some pics.... sorry about the angles of the photos my sis took them for me... :facepalm: lol here are the pics ;)

hope you guys like it :D

btw... once i shave the front burger... :drool: omg... sex lol

FML! I want your car.. well mostly your skills for DIY. FML!

^^^ lol :rofl2:

Nice one simota! Let's get some pics under the hood and such. Obviously with the curved shape coming into play but it almost seems like they're too far back :twocents:

You say they're functional, but you mean just for putting more fresh air into the engine bay right?

yes just for putting in fresh air in the bay... :D i wanted them right above the motor... but there was issues with the curve of the hood.. there would have been a mad gap if i moved it any forward :(

How much does it cost to buy you a plane ticket to come do my car? :)
Maybe it'll be cheaper than sending it to a body shop mwuahaha.
I got a quote for $1375.00 For:
Paint rims black
Paint fangs black
Paint rear valance black
Polish car paint to remove swirls

Looks pretty interesting. :)

I love it!!! Pure Genius!!! I want these.

It's all gravy then, good job :tup:

Not meaning to :stirthepot:, but imo having ducts that far back will cause turbulence and drag inside the engine bay. Looks trick, though, Simota you are amazing. :tiphat:

nice, it looks factory done

Why would those cause a problem on the Z if not on the GTR, isn't the point so that some air does get into the engine? if there was no increased drag wouldn't there be no air getting into the hood?

NACA ducts are pretty good at bringing in air with minimal impact on the drag numbers. Their size, location, and orientation are usually finely tuned in wind tunnels, though.

My guess with these is they let a little air in, don't really hurt drag numbers, and otherwise serve a primary function of looking cool. :)

Looks good Sim :tup:

Yes, naca ducts work in a very passive way which is good. The firewall is not far from those ducts, though. Simota, get thee to a wind tunnel immediately. :icon17:

Well, obviously a wall of fire is going to be pretty hot, so these should help cool it off a bit.

:eek:

I may put these on my hood. When I think about it, the ducts can cool the G3's on a hot day, thereby reducing intake air temps and producing more power. Simota, you are a genius!

Looks nice, reminiscent of older model Zs

they look like mini urinals for cats? ;) jk.

looks good. but wat are you cooling under there? there's a battery chamber and brake, etc but it's already isolated from the engine... :confused:

Looks good. Best DIY without need of vented hood.

what all did you do to you're headlights?. they look badass

He painted them :D

Looks beautiful! :tup::tup:

Hey EVO-R why dont yall make some in carbon. I would buy em' right now. :happydance:

THANK YOU everyone for your compliments... :D when i was venting my hood... i thought i was gonna regret it when i was half way lol... i was like crap..... but thankfully it turned out good :D

LMAO its like 1500-1800 to buy me a plane ticket LMAO just get it done from where u got the qoute :tup:

thanks jay :D btw... pm me those pics :D ill pm u soon about some parts :D

LMFAO urinals? lol i just wanted to throw in more air in there to cool off the bay...

:tiphat: thanks AK :D

i forgot to add my scoops are made outa carbon :D

Do you by any chance have a picture from under the hood?

no it was photoshopped! :icon17: ;)

:tup:

looks great. :p

They look awesome but my guess is they don't do squat for cooling anything in that location.

Thats the hood im thinking about buying from siebon.

YOU are correct LOL.... they are sooo far back they shoot straight out... BUT i am going to make an air box to re route the air back and shoot it into the motor....

i wanted to get one from seibon... but i had no idea how it actually looked.... and this route was a lil cheaper :D
