The intercooler setup on the red Z was necessary to clear the hood latch support brackets the Z has. The G37 doesn't have those support brackets and can therefore support the intercooler version you saw in the CAD drawings and layout pictures without modification. That said, we developed new hood latch support braces that gives us an additional 2" of clearance so we can run the same intercoolers on both the G37 and 370Z while supporting the hood latch properly. In addition, the extra clearance allows us to run a wider, taller core on the 370Z than what the red Z currently has. The red Z currently has 10" x 10" x 3" intercooler cores while the production cores with the new support braces are 12" x 12" x 3" cores. Also, the new end-tanks are going to be polished, cast aluminum tanks as opposed to the sheet metal prototype end tanks you see in the pictures of the red Z.

Here is a picture of the support bracket I'm talking about:

Nix's car (red one) will most likely be retrofitted with the new stuff when it's ready and most likely used what's currently on there to speed up results, testing and R&D. Us forum members are pretty impatient and we expect results yesterday. So we have new exhaust manifolds, new intercoolers and new hood latch thing. That's a lot of new.

Actually the red car is not Nicks. His car is getting all the final production parts from the get go.
