I have a 2015+ Nismo. There's no off-the-shelf solution for hooking up brake ducts without hacking up the bumper for some universal ducts.

For a race car, no problem:


Doesn't look half bad

But is there a solution without hacking?

Then I found this thread:
Nismo bumper brake duct install

Basically, this dude mounted some NACA ducts on his Zspeed undertray. Wicked solution

However, when i see the 2015+ nismo zspeed tray, it has this dip in the middle:



So i was thinking?

Rivet on these:


Connect the hoses, and viola?

Could even put some mesh in between the opening and the flange to block rocks

conceptually . . . would that spot pick up enough air to be worthwhile?
It likely would. The Zspeed shroud for my '14 Nismo has a 6 inch slot cut in that slant to allow airflow over the bottom of the oil pan. Don't think they'd put it there if it wouldn't work...
