The racing series I compete in most of the time made this hero cover photo.

Dayum!

I would be scraping that thing all over the bumpy paddock at Mid Ohio.

Where did you get that hood vent? I want to do something similar and two small ones on the side.

Yeah, but you are definitely at threshold braking there. You want it so the splitter is marginally above the ground level under full brake. Doesn't look hateful....the car is just soft.

My contribution of the car in its former autox life:

Well still not much going on. Engine continues to be worked on with a new exhaust. The JRZ with Swift springs shipped out but have not arrived. But I am excited about my new trailer.

A brand new 20 foot all aluminum enclosed car hauler!

Yeah full 3.5 single custom. No muffler or canister. Mid pipe High flow cat can be inserted for when it's needed.

I've never heard of them being enforced. So no. And if so, oh well that would be hilarious to be kicked out for a noise violation. But I'm expecting it to be one of the loudest cars out there.

I am thinking about upgrade to that same hood vent, but not sure if I want to give up the HR hood bump.

Maybe the Dmax side vents.

Using the universal hood vent on the HR hood I think would work if you cut out a portion of the middle section. Making narrow to fit within the grooves of the hump!

In for more

It will fit for sure. It's just a matter of how much do you want to cut? If you don't care anything will fit. The vent I picked doesn't really fit my that well, and I didn't take a ton of care installing it, but who cares? Still vents.

My dampers came in. Just waiting on some swift springs. The shop sent me some photos. I think they are in love. As they should be.

How are you liking your new setup so far Micheal? Btw, is your offset +15? I'm still deciding on my own 18 inch setup, but I'm stumped on offset. My car is an 08 Nismo, but it's mostly stock suspension wise w/stock arms etc. I was planning on an 18x9.5 for the front and 18x10.5 for rear. Scott told me to just go square, but I'm still slowly learning. Had my first NASA event and I'm already hooked. Any feedback would be great. Thanks man.

My wheels are 18 x 10.5 + 15.

If you are going to go to the expense and trouble of upgrading your wheels and tires you might as well do it right the first time. Which means by 10.5 square.

I completly support his statement. If you go staggered, you will end up buying another pair of wheels later, costing you extra money.
