Naca hood vents

[M13]

I believe the R34 GTR adopted a NACA duct on the passenger side of the hood (as in the pic posted) to direct cooling air onto the rear turbo as it gets the least air circulation. The intent was to increase the life of the rear turbo. I could be wrong on this.

You are correct. but they came out for the VspecII only)

The MINES R34 also had NACA ducts. (VspecII hood)

If you can get a good deal on some, I'll DEFINITELY buy one! Let us know!

hey... if you guys are down to have one in carbon fiber i know a guy who might be interested in manufacturing them for us.. *cough *cough nelson* cough

Now everybody wants to do this change of plans

Sounds interesting. Im in for supporting fellow GTRCers if it can be done, and for cheaper.
+1 for a prototype

agreed carbon would be sweet
get on it im excited

Unless the owner of that car has done a creative relocation of the air filter/intake, I can't see how that duct would be of any use in that location. All it's doing is drawing cold air into the rear-passenger's side of the engine bay. If it's to feed the air intake, then it should be near the leading edge of the hood.

Sometimes, it's to cool the exhaust area while deflecting around the ABS area. Maybe it's not a serious ram air like setup.

[M13]

You can turn NACA ducts into ram air set up by making a lower piece that diverts air to a channel.

I believe EVO's had naca ducts stock on their hoods that had piping/ducting.

guess this isnt going anywhere ...

[cschepp]

looking for one of these still! i will grab it asap

[MarusGTR]

Well my hood needs a repaint so I'm reviving this thread in hopes of getting one for a good price

[MarusGTR]

I'm gonna need a NACA vent soon, I'll get the hood repainted when I'll store the GTR.

I'm looking for anything R34 V-spec ish, PM me if anyone knows where I can get one.

call (or email) Perry Auto Laval
they sell alot of racing gear, and i pretty sure i saw naca ducts on a shelf 2 days ago

[MarusGTR]

Would doing it custom cost less? E.g. doing it through Nelson?

[doc]

maybe if enough of us got some then yes ...
but i believe he posted in this thread already .. if he was interested he would have stated so
