GTR bonnet vents
I decided to get some hood vents fitted and went for a set of carbon GTR ones. Im looking now to fit a set of ducts to run from the vents to the manifolds as they do on the GTR as since going TT the heat given off from them is immense. Has anyone tried this yet and if so what results did you get in regards to lowering engine bay temperatures ?

those look surprisingly large on your hood, but then again the GTR is a large fker of a car. I'm pretty sure your the first to do this.

<3 your car. The GTR vents look sick; unfortunately, I can't help you with those high temp problems. Good luck!

Looks very nice on your car. Love the JP Scara's! You should consider getting some spacers.

I like that a lot! I might have considered that over what I did (had I thought of it)...

It works aesthetically for me, though, since the car's aggressive.

OP, with all that snow, is cooling really an issue?? Haven't heard of anyone doing that but it seems like it couldn't hurt.

I don't see any additional plumbing that goes to the bottom of the engine bay or anything.

Looks like those sleeves is all you get on GT-R.

Lol yeah there are front bumper vents, side skirt vents, fender vents, hood vents- which look really good. But as far as cooling upgrade your radiator, fans, and get a hood with larger vents like the Seibon TS or what is it... the VIS slayer or something?

Supercharged here in Texas and don't have any issues running the car normally in 100F+ weather... now if you boost at every light in stop and go traffic... yes... anyone would have problems. Regular driving "boosting responsibly" my engine temps and EGT's never differ much year round.
