Having a vent that doesnt vent? Watch out for the 'rice' police. You know who you are. :wave:

My 2000 GTR has been modified to accept a NACA Duct insert to simulate the V-Spec II as I didn't want to pay for CF which weighs only a few grams lighter (than aluminium) and costs $6900 for OEM and $1000 from Car Mate for the type you're after.

The NACA Duct is functional and only cost me $48 + GST + post from Qld. The Venturi system in physics helps to draw air in to help cool the turbos (high or low).

Obviously Nissan thinks they're worthwhile because they're on the R35 aren't they.

I've been out in the rain and there's no water problem. People can't tell the difference between mine and the V-Spec II. Look up www.kenlowe.com.au and click on Aerodynamics and of the two NACA Ducts available, you might consider buying the smaller of the two. Since you're in Sydney you can have a look at mine in the Blue Mtns and score a bit of SAAS black mesh for free.

If the NACA Duct is inserted from underneath and moulded together with the bonnet, it all looks as one piece and there is no cutting away any reinforcement!!!

Yes Respray is $450 to $550

Check out pics of the R34 GTR V-Spec II which are as scarce as hens teeth. It was a car that was manufactured 09/00 on a small run.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
