So I decided to get these https://www.race-parts.com/revotec-side-air-ducts and rivet them onto my front bumper. I also went with the z1 brake cooling kit. www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-370z-front-brake-cooling-kit-p-21496.html
Here are the results:
I dremelled the front...
FA500 and FA510s come stock with 10k fronts and 9k rears.
The KW V3s while dynamic, should be "around" a 8.89K fronts and 3.64K rears. I don't know about the clubsports. Still curious what the stock and nismo rates are too.
This is in Houston, TX. Looks like he either sideswiped someone, or someone sideswiped him. Either way, probably totaled as it ran through multiple body panels. I don't know the full story, but I saw it as I drove past a Nissan dealership.
I would like to add that the manual states this:
Doing anything else than what the manual says for this is just negligent.
So yea, wait 15 minutes over.
I will add my own personal griefs with the car.
1) Rear axle click. I got it covered under warranty, but it's crazy they haven't fixed something that was originally on the 370z
2) Insufficient brake cooling. I cook the shit out of my brakes driving the piss out of it. I've rebuilt the calipers...

Is a crack in the windshield unwarrantable? My warranty is on it's 3rd year, so maybe bumper to bumper can cover it. I fear it will not though. Any ideas?
Hmmm, I don't know if I like the air inlets chosen. I feel like there might be a better scoop design if I cutout a rectangular hole in the front left and front right of my bumper, but this is promising.
I am debating learning how to tig weld for this lol. Instead of just buying the prefabbed...
Not sticking or seizing, just destroyed boots. I had a couple pistons where I had to sit there and scrub off the burnt rubber with sand paper lol. The fronts are the only brakes that have any issues. I suspect nissan set a heavy front brake bias in this car. As for temps, I should get those temp...
I've done 4 track days in my Z so far, and have rebuilt my brake calipers twice now. The car is a mostly stock performance manual with just pads and fluids upgrades. My primary issue are the dust boots which prevent dust from going back into the brake caliper and prevent micro tears which can...
