Those aren't brake ducts, but are for intakes/cooling. There is a guy making replica nismo ducts now in cf at a very affordable price. I have a set and love them. Pm me if you want details and I can put you in touch

Like dj said. Those are not brake ducts. But are for getting fresh air to the stock air filter boxs. The factory brake ducts like I have list for $612.00 each. If you really want the RC styled brake ducts. PM dj.

The helmet came in today. Tried it on. Fits great. But, boy is it light! Weighs around 5 lbs. Feels like a feather. It's lighter then my Shoei X11. The Bell seams like it might be a little thicker in foam at the top. Making it a taller helmet. But it has to be broken in yet too. Meaning I have to watch tv with it on for awhile.

Also got the Bell Helmet backpack, a dark smoke shield, and 2 shield protection sleeves. The backpack has room for a helmet, spare shields, gloves, and extras.

Pictures of the helmet and backpack.

Thanks for sharing the build information, very informative! I'll need to do the brake duct cooling mod sometime.

Was checking pittrace.com website for this years schedule of trackdays. In their video. I'm in it.

The guy in the white Doran Racing Nissan tee shirt.

My Nismo is in it too.

Only for a split second.

Love the new tire setup rusty. You have again inspired me to mod my car. I am looking to get the same tire size and wheel size/offsets as you. Is there any advice you would like to give before i pull the trigger? (Eg: do it!!/ Dont do itI!! / i wish i got this size instead!!) im on stock nismo height with stock camber arms

If you go with the 325's in the rear. Everything is perfect. The 345's poke out about 1/4" with camber set at -1.75 at stock height. So you might want to play with the offset. Eric at "Getyourwheels" helped me out. That's where I got my rims at too.

Pic is the 345's
