INGS+1 N-Spec, a Modified Nismo V2, Airwalker, etc.. would of been good =/

 

+1....TONS of inlets in the front of that one.

... Man that Amuse looked so damn good on yur Z.

 

Not going to pretend that for one minute that I'm a fan of that bumper... But I think we can all agree that you are obviously about performance and looks.

Now, I'd probably puke on your hood if the rest of the car was stock! j/k

 

The Amuse was awesome, and this is disgusting

But if it works on the track for TA than function over form.

 

i'm not gonna call u ricer before seeing the final product.

 

I don't get it, it seems like the Amuse has enough air openings maybe not?

May I ask why you decided to go this route? there are TONS of other front ends out there with more air openings and probably been tested for airflow and such, because I doubt the GTR knock off bumper was tested for aerodynamics or airflow, and etc...

I loved the way your car looked before but if function over form calls for it then it's a must. hehe

 

 

are you having troubles with cooling when drifting?

 

probably won't look that bad as long as you don't use the stupid black and whatever color paint scheme

 

Can't wait to see pics of it painted.

 

In for finished pics...

 

hope you have a nice paint scheme... good luck!

 

No, since drift courses are usually short, I don't get as hot as when I do TA.

 

are you :

1. using aftermarket fans?
2. running an undertray?
3. have a vented hood?
4. whats ur water/coolant mixture
5. what radiator u using?

 

at least fitment looks dead-on

 

looks good.. show pics when it's painted..

 

How are you doing with your cooling mods?

 

i'd first start running an undertray, you need to seal off the bottom of the car in order for the air flowing from the front bumper to be forced through the radiator and through your intercooler. by sealing that off, you're making the air go through, into the engine bay, and out the least resistance way, which is through your vented hood, as it should go.

before getting too ahead of yourself with the bumper (too late?) you should cut more into your hood and put a gurney flap in front of your opening to force the air to get sucked up and out of the engine...

pure racing? use distilled water and maybe Redline water wetter.

i'm planning on trying out a cross flow radiator and /or dual pass.. make sure there isnt air in the system either.

i am thinking about doing the rear coolant pipe modification in which i get a bypass chamber /extra reservoir for coolant to get all the air out of the system all the time.

my next step is to get aftermarket fans, the lower thermostat, and possibly gut the back side of the engine fire wall area to get a gap from the hood and sheet metal..


if you still have your amuse front, see if you can get the esprit air ducts for the Z and install it higher up on the nose.. it will direct airflow to the top of your intercooler and to the radiator.

It's simple.. I didn't want to mess around with my Amuse, which is for my daily driving and car shows. It's nice to have a spare, whatever bumper, which I can do whatever I please... When you compete in drift and TA events, bumpers get Fed up!

 

I should have elaborated that I do have the front half of the undertray, because I was concerned about what you pointed out.

Soon or later, we are gonna end up gutting out everything and turn them into full out race cars.. LOL...
