Nismo280zEd Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 I plan on shaving alot of things of the Z to make it look more modern... one thing i want to shave off are the air holes/ vents where the cirular Z emblem is located on the rear quarter panel. Are these vents essential to the Z? Would fiberglassing over them create a problem? thanx, Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Are these vents essential to the Z? Would fiberglassing over them create a problem? thanx' date=' Ed[/quote'] From what other members have written in the past, they are not crucial. Try taping over them and driving around with your windows up then down. Compare with the tape off. That's the best and easiest thing to do.

evildky Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 well as I understand it their promary function is to allow air to escape the passanger compartment when you close the doors with the windows up, try taping them and closing your door with the windows up, if you floor pans are shot it should be ok one natural alternative is to install a hatch from a 240 as they had the vents on the hatch and none on the rear sail panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismo280zEd Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 so basically as long as i crack my windows when i eat mexican food... i'm ok with sealing them lol -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 The vents are there so that when you select the outside air for the heat or AC (or the VENT function) the air will flow through the cabin. Otherwise the pressure in the cabin will build up and the air flow will diminished. Of course this applicable only when the side windows are rolled up. Every vehicle has some type of venting system, it's just not always obvious. So, in other words, Nissan put them in for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 so is there anyway to keep them functional but not obvious.. i want the logo gone, it makes the car look old. maybe design a louver or something.. that might look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinCA Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I suppose you could add vents elsewhere... I have rust holes in the rocker panel... so i dont worry about ventilation... heh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 so is there anyway to keep them functional but not obvious.. i want the logo gone, it makes the car look old. maybe design a louver or something.. that might look cool Mine were replaced with a set of vertical louvers fabricated from sheet metal. The shape of the louver frame was designed to fit in with the existing lines and looks quite good. Sorry, no pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
