Quick update on the cooling issues… I opened two more holes in my bumper next to the Nissan emblem and went for a drive. At 5000ft up a 10 mile hill at highway speeds my coolant temp topped out at 109c. It was just below 100 degrees outside so I’m sure that didn’t help. Once I got to the top of the hill and started cruising down the other side temps dropped back down to around 94c. I know that’s a pretty extreme example with the thin air and all but it also convinced me to purchase a vented hood.

I have a vented hood (Seibon TS style) and am having pretty significant overheating issues on hot days, even when I drive the car relatively calmly... well, maybe 1 or two short romps, but not really beating on it at all. It gets so hot you can hear the coolant boiling & it dumps out of the overflow tube. Going to try re-routing the BOV exhaust so that it's not dumping in front of the radiator. That can't be a good thing w/ all of that hot air being drawn through the radiator. I am running the stock (non-nismo) 2014 bumper.
