If you'll click the link he provided in his post, you'll see that they are hand cut custom vents in the stock fenders.

Very nice work, Silly Rabbit :tiphat:

Let me know if you need some Trix; I know a guy ;)

Are you guys lifting the car even or just the front? Is it hitting the back part of the shield? towards the rear?
I've changed the oil in mine plenty of times and never had oil get in the shield but it has always been on a lift sitting even front to back. Maybe the tilt back on ramps is causing this?

Yep, you nailed it. Definitely a jack/ramp problem. Myself, I jack up the front (don't have a lift, yet) but the car is clearly leaning back, so yes the oil hits the back part of the tray once the velocity of the draining oil slows down.

This can be easily solved by using something in the back of the door opening (like a cut in half bottle) to help the oil roll down into the pan.

But besides that, I feel like the access door could be a bit bigger anyway, there is not much room there. I can't even get my good oil filter wrench in there (no clearance) but have to use the crappy pliers that suck, which is not always ideal when dealing with a hot *** oil filter.

I'll be sitting in my Z later today and imagining how awesome it would be for it to be time to have my new CF vented hood and fenders installed. Just twiddling my thumbs lol :tup:

It's the same here in the southwest. I washed her this weekend and took the wife for a drive followed by a good wipe down and top off with e85....the car that is lol. Then covered here up for the week, it's raining here.

definitely trying out the black hex come spring. :D

takeda short rams went on the car about a week ago; they sound insane under hard throttle. Way more muscular and fuller sound. Might red-out the rear lights by the end of this week

if the opening is the same, yes. they sell the blackhex cones too.

ive done back to back comparisons k&n oiled filters vs R2C. R2C had much improved breathing mid onward to redline in real world. thing was phenominal. just sounds like a urinal flushing :ugh2: the main reason why i went back to oem intake + post-maf tubes, i wanted quiet.

but i want the blackhex drop-ins now.

I have the black hex on my intakes. Mish, I can measure the opening if you can't find the specs online. Just let me know :tup:

Put on the Z1 upgraded hatch struts. It didn't want to open anymore after putting on the nismo wing. New struts work nicely

Hotrodz 01-07-2016 02:55 PM

I need to get a set of those and take out the silly counter weight as well.

I got the stronger ones. No where near as bad as I expected. I went to remove that counter weight when I put the wing on but it wasn't there
