Call me a ricer, I don't care~ ;)
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.

37,000 YEN... That's about $400! My knock off bumper was $300!!
That bumper is ugly and IMO will ruin the looks of your Z. Like others have said, i woulda gone with a C-West bumper. But its your car, and everything else youve done sofar has been sick, so have fun.
AARRGGGHH~~! Painting the bumper got held up because I just installed custom Brembo F40 4 piston calipers with 14" two piece rotors in the back and I had to drop the engine for an emergency operation.. 
I developed an exhaust leak on my passenger side.. "Bah~Bah~Bah~" Fun~! Yay!!
Dropped the engine to find out that one of the bolts holding the 3" APS test pipe to the passenger side turbo was missing and leaking... I also found out that I have been boosting with only one turbo for I don't know HOW LONG!!!!!!! 
Actuator arm fell out of the swing arm of the internal wastegate. I had the c-clip holding the actuator arm in place, but who knows when it fell out.. D@MN it.. Car did feel sluggish for a few weeks... My Z should be out in 1 or 2 days all done with the bumper. Then I'm off to another TA and drift competition over this coming weekend...

I hope you can't fix it and go back to your previous clean set up.... Sorry bro, doesn't look anywhere NEAR as sick as the Amuse. Everyone goes through a stage that we regret once in a while with our car. I think it's a sign that this one got trashed what's next?! Back to amuse or something else bro?
