TheZFeel Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Just curious which models originally came with hood scoops? Quote
stevo_gj Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Bonnet vents? Or actual scoops to suck air in? AFAIK no Z ever had bonnet scoops, but my 75 260z has 2 hood air vents. Quote
TheZFeel Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 I think its hood air vents im thinking of. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1388/1370011903_827def19e9.jpg it looks like this except with a nudge bar.

Other markets never got them ie NZ as heat sock was not an issue (summer does not get hot enough). Going by the parts catalogue they were from 08-76 onwards and only available in either black or white. Quote

Just kidding. well there you go - I did not proof read that very well. Tell you what though if you did to put some socks in the engine bay they would be nice and heated for sure Quote

modular9 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I have these on my 77 2+2. They let in the rain and road grime and dust. But then I do daily drive my car in all weather. Quote
S30Mike Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I love my smooth ventless bonnet.. mine must be off a 240. Quote
NZeder Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I love my smooth ventless bonnet.. mine must be off a 240. or a pre 76 260z - well in OZ anyway here in NZ we never got these bonnets unless like me you wanted one and ordered a new one from Nissan Quote
Reaper-Zed Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 or a pre 76 260z - well in OZ anyway here in NZ we never got these bonnets unless like me you wanted one and ordered a new one from Nissan How much it set you back from Nissan I presume it was cheap as minimum chips at a fish n chips shop?

NZeder Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 How much it set you back from Nissan I presume it was cheap as minimum chips at a fish n chips shop? lol given it was a new OEM panel the prices was ok - infact the first one was damaged in transit so I made them import another one from Japan (they did not like that but damaged goods is damaged goods) it was repairable but they did not want to discount it as much as I wanted so I made them get another new one (I would say the damage was done when the Nissan dealer I ordered it from removed it from the shipping crate as it looks just like a hammer or small crow bar was dropped down onto the hump of the bonnet) Quote
