zgeezer Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Does anyone have a photo of the Datsun optional hood that had a wide "bulge" about the middle with two horizontal slots running lengthwise on both sides of the "bulge". This appears not to be a "scoop", but more of an attempt to vent off underhood heat. There used to be a very short thread on this forum about this hood. If there is one for sale, I'd like to hear about it. Otherwise, I would like a photograph or two that might allow me to fabricate someting very similar from fiberglas. Thanks. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Ivan a.k.a. "Evo" has that hood on his 280Z. It's pretty cool looking up close. His screen name is Ivan280zt. I know he has some pictures he can give you in a PM/e-mail or post here. He is VERY busy though, so have some patience when trying to contact him. !M!

Dudeboy Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Zgeezer, I see you are in Indio, CA. I am from San Diego, and that is were my brother is looking for the hood scoop. There you use to be a performance shop called Performance World in El Cajon, CA and they had these scoops on the shelves, ( they had quite a bit of Z and 510 Datsun performance parts). I am also checking with the Nissan dealers that have been around for awhile (15-20yrs) because these scoops were also dealer install option to deal with under hood engine heat.
