Default Cooling the rotor brakes

hi,

For my next trainings track i imagine how to cooling my rotor brakes. It's just one solution but i think it's better than nothing...

Simple and effective (I hope). Keep us posted if you notice the difference.

Yes , i hope too , but i will drive on the tracks just for my pleasure , not races, so i think it's will be better, when i will go on the track i posted for you tell what i mean

In our "notre350Z.com", we have "Taurim", my cooling system was inspired by him. He cuts has 350 Z all shares are totally modified (frame, brakes, suspensions, engine etc…) only for the Nurburgring Track.

If you were going to cut a hole through the lower splash shield you might as well have put NACA ducts in it (ala the NISMO Motorsports kit) instead of just having the hose hanging down there like that. I commend your effort nonetheless.

yes thank you, but i think NACA ducts are ok in the front bumper but if my duct exceeds there more air which returns under the car & also i don't want to see thems, i would like to save the front bumper look.

havent done it, I will do what Kwame proposed, put the NACA on the splash shield, you wouldnt doit on the front bumper.

If you want bumper you wouldnt use a NACA duct.

Use one made for the bumper.

If you have a front lip I really don't think you will get all that much airflow to your hoses with either the setup you have now or with the setup I have suggested. The whole point of any functional front lip is to prevent air from going underneath your vehicle in an effort to decrease or prevent lift. A much better location to feed cool air to the rotors would be from your front bumper in your situation.

It's not my car, so I cannot say. It's from this thread...

Nice simple set up. I was thinking of doing a set up something like this since it seems like there is a good pocket right there where a low profile inlet like this would fit nice. I did my inlets in front of the radiator and the routing is a lot harder and adds more pressure drop than a system like this. What is the inlet grate material?

yes, you have more pressure with your system. My flexible have a big diameter--->not easy for the routing in front the radiator....


steel grids (recovery)



aluminium..
