Snjur Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Well as title says im in search for some hood vents or ideas where i might get them. I need to take out excess heat from engine since turbines are heating up engine bay quite nicely. As i have already CF hood it won't be too much of a problem to insert this. Only problem is i can't find anything decent which is not looking "ricer" or the ones which i like such as APR ones are pricey. If anyone has done this or has any ides please step forward Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Bradders has some on his Zed, including a roll of clingfilm to go on them when it rains 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 You could make a template and cut your own in, however watch the areas of the underside as it's double skinned in places. Alternately get a universal set off Ebay, you will still need to cut the bonnet at some point though. The R35 vents look good once fitted on Z .

martybhoy Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I've been tempted by the r35 vents for a while now. Think they are the most aesthetic, non ricer style to go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snjur Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Yes i was also looking in R35 type but they look more of intake for air to come in rather than for escape of hot air. Thank again it all how u type it in Google. When i type hood louvers there is much more choice of design mostly used in American cars. All this universal stuff from Ebay looks ricer to me Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Then you would want a scoop? As I understood it vents do exactly that, vent air. You will want something that forces air in, the air will go straight over the vent. If you want more air in, then I would look to finding a solution to getting colder air into the area around the air filter to prevent heat soak most likely via some modification to the front of the car?

Snjur Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 No not the scope type after more like gils so hot air from engine bay can go out as hit air tends to rise. Similar to Seibon hood i thinks it called ts style Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fake ben taylor Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I run the z-tune nismo vent, used by a fee time attack cars in America and does the job for me, I haven't bothered making it look pretty but I'm sure it could do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snjur Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Just a copy one off ebay And theres pics in my project thread 'the track car is dead, long live the trackcar' Just saw it. So what you think it could be fitted to a bonnet to look more or less like stock since you have already mounted it. I see that is a DE bonnet on yours mine is Hr Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fake ben taylor Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I've seen them mounted from the underside instead of from the top, and then you could epoxy it in and paint it all to look like it was meant to be there It might not fit a de bonnet though :/ On Facebook there is a group called '350z parts for sale uk' or sonething like that and someone is selling a fibreglass vented hr bonnet. Could be worth a go and sell on your carbon one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snjur Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 So..... After a long search for hood vents i manage to find something which looks good and is not pricey. They are coming in dimensions of 4"x12". Just need to figure out if this can be fitted from under the oem bonnet to have it look as much as possible incognito. Putting this from top side would be visible a lot. At least u think so Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Not sure if I would get these style of vents but I'm certainly interested to see how they look fitted. Please post some pics when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fake ben taylor Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Trackspec ones? Been looking at them myself Think I've settled on some fibreglass ones from the chevy ngtc car to run alongside my Nismo, thanks to Harry Jackson for finding them.

Snjur Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Well to be honest i did fancy the most carbon ones from concept Z performance. I think APR brand it was. But getting it shipped and custom tax i was looking on 550 600 usd. So from the rest what was out there which was 98% plastic i stumbled across this. As Ben guessed this are Trackspec ones. My only aim is trying fit this to a DE hood and keep it as less bling as possible. Not to be a cop magnet since car is modified. In my head if this will be mounted from bellow this upper part of louvers shouldn't stick to much out Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Edited August 3, 2016 by Snjur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 In my head if this will be mounted from bellow this upper part of louvers shouldn't stick to much out It could be an issue making a perfectly smooth whole to fit them in from underneath no? Wouldn't you need some form of "frame" to cover the inaccuracies of the cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you need some form of "frame" to cover the inaccuracies of the cut? Well im still in plan development. Either way hood will need to be repainted after this so this inaccuracies could be arranged prior painting.

As i tend to keep this louvers look as much as possible stock. That is why i plan to go from under. Easier way would just be to bolt it from top but than... It would be i think like fist in the eye.
