    Hood vents/mod ideas?

    Well, I need a new hood on my 85 Z31 turbo.

    I may have a plain 86 NA hood lined up, but I dont know what to do with it. I was thinking of some real hood vents (This thing gets hot; Im sure most of yours do :P) or something but I dont know what would work well, as far as design and placement. Has anyone done a vent/hood mod? What about a cowl induction on a stock hood?

    Screamingflea has made a cowl induc hood out of a stock hood, but then stopped making it halfway through. Look up the thread. A lot of people have done vents. 280zxt vents look nice.

    check out what butter did for his hood, it's pretty slick.

    What vents are those? Did he have to weld in or did something like bondo work?

    I did find something, though, not sure how it would look…

    3" high,
    26" long,
    16" wide.

    I *think* it could turn out okay, and best of all, its a simple install it looks like.

    There is a longer one, but I think 44" is a bit too long :P

    you should do it while making it functional not just for looks because it can actually effect radiator/intercooler efficiencies and make it even worse rather then improving function.

    food for thought.

    he gives me shit all the time about the money i spend on my car but he simply doenst understand what type of "high" you get from watching a stock car transform into something alive with as much emotion and feelings as any human.

    How about the 82-83 280ZX NACA duct (driver's side) and hood vent (passenger side)? I was going to do this one on my 2006 350Z GT but sold the car. I think it would look sick......

    black/gold Z looks most effective. I like it
