thanks illz and synth. to the rest of you with bad comments, i cant sleep at night anymore. wa.wa.wa.wa

 

nice Z mario. Love the wheels. And I think the hood spacers gives it a one-off look in a good way. Most people might not know what it is and think something's wrong, but only a few would know better and understand that "a step backward may mean a leap forward." just my 2 cents.

 

Nice wheels, nice drop, but I would never drive around with my hood like that in my Z. That's a track only mod imo, or something you do to your weekend racer, not something you should do to a Z, it downgrades its classy look, and for the few extra hp that spacer and less temp is giving you not worth it. But to each his own

 

I put a temp probe under my hood to monitor temperature...

maximum it ever reached while rolling was close to 40c (104f)

I don't have a hood spacer and honestly don't see the use of one... temperature will spike up if car is standing still, as soon as you start rolling temp drops back down almost instantly. Hood spacer is totally useless (atleast for my application).

 

You only need it if you run boost.

 

+1. i have my own underhood temps soln.

 

well, I guess its cheaper than a nice vented hood. Although I do suggest a VIS Fuzion CF hood, Im getting one soon!

 

im thinking of getting the kenstyle bumper after my stockie gets tore up from rock chips, anyone know how much they are?

thanks man......can you buy just the kenstyle front bumper or is it sold only as a whole kit?

 

that's the only (reliable) site that I've found with it on.

i don't know if it's available seperate.. I'm sure Taka Kaira can get just about anything.. http://www.takakaira.com if you're looking for a reputable japanese source that has an english website.

edit : wow.. that website is under serious construction..

peace.

 

do you have anymore pictures? what size are the tires? side walls in particular... 35 or 40??
