Has anybody done duct work off the front bumper like this?



In an EVO from about 6 months back Tomalin drove an RJN Motorsport 350Z in some club race and I noticed the two big brake duct inlets on the front bumper. Not sure how they are routed or the backing plate configuration but they may have some info.

I found that as well, Unfortunatly it only fits their bumper. But maybe I should give them a call or drop them an email to see if they can sell me the caliper mount seperatly. Thats if they even use one, the picture there doesn't give a good shot of how its attached to the caliper.

Just got this back from N-Tech

Out of production, and our timetable to make more is completely unknown at the moment. Sorry for the bad news.

I can't believe that the 350z has been out, this long and how many cars that are on the track, that no one has came up with a good kit. I bought the kit from Nissan motorsports and its junk.

I thinking you would have to modify a kit or create one to make it work. Anything around that size with and just add or remove part of the plate to make it fit.

What do they do for all the vintage race cars, they fab something up that works.

I'll ask a friend who builds vintage race cars.
