350z Inlet
I did a search and didn't see anything..... So I decided to try and be a pioneer and grab one. 15 shipped off ebay. Looks like this.
I thought it would be a great way to open up the upper part of the bumper with out cutting a massive hole above the lower radiator inlet. I am going to cut some of the back off to open the hole up more for more air flow. It probably isn't necessary, for more flow there in most cases, but it regularly hits 90-100 during the day, so I figured the extra flow couldn't hurt. I have made a template, and will be documenting as I go. Any opinions?

For brakes, I was thinking of the naca ducts with the 3 inch hose attatchment that can be had on ebay for like 10 dollars each on the sides of the bumpers... This inlet is odd, It was for the passenger side, maybe that is why I got it so cheap, but I figured that it doesn't matter. Curly, You want the dimensions after you remove the styrofoam of the top half over the bumper support, or the whole deal? Or the outlet of the scoop I am using? Right now it is like 1" x 1.5" and I was going to cut some of the back off to enlarge it, then use some rv sewer hose if neccessary to route the air where i need it.

Someone is thinking along the same lines as I am... I bought one the other day off eBay - it showed up and guess what - they sent me a passenger-side one, not a driver-side vent.
So, I get to send it back for an exchange. I was trying to figure out if I could snake an intake hose into it for a ram air effect.
From what I figured on the passenger-side, the curve seems pretty good.

Those lower brake ducts? Get you a double outlet naca... that would cover it. I am not using it for intake purposes, just not wanting to hole saw my front bumper lol. BTW machismo, which hood is that?
