Rusty's Nismo Journal

Got my 4" to 2" reducers for my brake ducts. This is what I needed to adapt the 4" Nismo ducts the the 2" hose that is in the Stillen brake cooling kit. Which should be here tomorrow. I have to machine down alittle OD on the 4" side of the reducer so that it slides into the brake duct, shortening the overall length.

My ZSpeed Aluminum Under Pan Diffuser came in too. I'll install it when I do my brake duct install. I like to do everything at once.

Hi Rusty - Great build!

I'm getting ready to install a set of brake ducts and am wondering where you got the 4" to 2" reducers.

Thanks!

Thanks.

Here you go. I had to machine down the big end to fit inside the brake duct.

Hi Rusty - can you answer a couple other questions please?

It looks like the Stillen duct kit you ordered was for a standard 370Z as it looks like it has bumper duct brackets. Since you have actual Nismo ducts, couldn't you have just ordered the kit designed for the Stillen fascia that deletes those brackets?

From what I've seen on your thread, since I have the Nismo ducts and the reducers you listed, all I really need is the Stillen kit made for a Stillen fascia. Since there is a $56 difference in price between the two kits, it seemed worth asking the question.

When you cut the right duct in what direction did you make it point to avoid the washer reservoir; i.e. down and to the center of the car?

Your advice and time is greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Yea, I got the regular Stillen kit. Had something in mind that didn't pan out. So I could have save a few bucks on it if I got the kit for the Stillen bumper.

Position your ducts close to the grille opening. This makes it easier to miss the washer bottle with the duct hose. Once you cut the opening in the bumper. You will have to see for yourself on the best place to position the hose past the washer bottle. Took me about 4 tries. Click on the picture to make it bigger. I position my hose to run along next to the power steering hoses. It will take you a couple of times of trimming everything to fit right. I ended up gluing the duct and the reducer together.

Hi Rusty - Thank you very much for the help.

Where exactly did you position your ducts; i.e. how close to the grille (vertical axis) and the bottom edge of the bumper (horizontal axis)?

If the washer bottle was removed would mounting be easier? Mines in the trunk
