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)?
I made templates by tracing around the outside edge of the ducts. Then I position the templates on the bumper. Held them on with tape. Drilled a couple of small holes in the center of the template to check on my positioning. Think I ended up about 1 1/2" away from the grille opening. Should of gone closer. Like 1 1/4". As for up and down. I position the template about in the middle of the body line on top and the spoiler on the bottom.

I can't get to my Nismo for a couple of days to look at it. I'm on vacation, 4wheeling my Power Wagon. If you still have questions, feel free to ask.

That's what I needed to know Rusty. Thank you for taking time from your vacation to answer my question.

My only concern is making sure that the duct fits flush with the bumper. I noticed that the top outside edge of each duct has a slight contour to match the bumper as it curves around and I didn't want to cut a hole that was an inch out of alignmnet one way or another.

Again, apologies for interupting your vacation. Have a great time and check back when you can.

Hey, no problem. I check this forum a couple times aday. LOL It's an addiction. Right now I'm on my laptop with a dead slow wifi connection. Like I said. If you have questions, I will try to answer them.

Did a track yesterday after doing a 12hr nightshift. Talk about being wiped out. Well anyway. Had a good time and still learning. Finding my limits are higher now and needing to change a couple of things on the Nismo to suit. Like I need coilovers now. On a couple of corners, feel like I'm riding on the bump stops. Which is beating me up some. And need more camber on both front and rear. Need camber arms for the front. Here's a couple of pic's of the tires. Will post video's later, after youtube gets done with them.

Is the Power Wagon a Cummins? How do you like that Snorkle setup? Truck looks good, what suspension upgrades have been done to it?

The Power Wagon only comes with the Hemi. The factory 1200lb Warn winch is in the way of the intercooler on the diesel, and the diesel weights 700lbs more the Hemi. That's a lot of weight on the front when 4wheelings.

I've had water over the hood, so that's why of the snorkel.

Suspension wise. Have Carli control arms, track bar, and springs in the front. In the rear, Carli long travel air bags. Had 2.5 King shocks on it. Now have custom valved Bilstein 7100's on it. The Power Wagon sits about 2" higher then a stock 2500. With the Carli springs in front. My front sits about 1" higher then a stock Power Wagon.

The front axle has RCV axles, Carli ball-joints, and a Dynatrack freespin hub kit. The wheels are forged CenterLines.Tires are Toyo 35's. I've done most of the trails in Moab with it. Go out to Rausch Creek a lot too.
