I also made the templates for the Nismo brake ducts. Following Rusty's thread has made the process much easier. There are a few things to determine before ordering the actual duct kit from Stillen - brackets and hoses - but it's getting sorted.

WHile all of this is going on, the idea of just getting a GT-R keeps floating around in my head. From discussions with mrs. gurney, that seems to be where they are going to stay.

I'll keep you posted.

Have a great day all!

do you have the brake ducts? if you have the nismo ducts.. would you be interested in lending them to me so that I can make a more affordable version?

Someone needs to start a GTR timeshare.

The Houston group has already been discussing that idea!

Good morning everyone! Pretty busy day off for me. Surprising hubby with a trip to the track tower today. Poor thing has never been beyond the road leading to parking.

Hey there Mr. Gurney

I'm with you on the whole oil cooler thing. I'm trying to decide whether to get a small, budget-oriented one that will work great for DD and also be able to hang for a bit of track time or a huge, expensive one that will allow me to drive at 7500 RPMs on the track for hours at a time

Hi there, Ms. Pint

Enjoy your day off. They're doing the tour every Wednesday, right? I think I might see if the wife wants to go next week if possible

Hi mr. JAR - On advice from Matt and Guru, I'm going with the 25 row Z1 set-up, including the wrapped hoses and thermostatic plate. The guys say it's no problem installing this ourselves, so it's going to be a serious tech day to install the oil cooler, as well as the Nismo RC grille, brake ducts, and Stillen brake cooling kit.

Didn't I just say a month ago that I was done with mods?

In the end, it will have been cheaper to buy a GT-R!
