mistafosta Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Does anyone have a place I can get a decent cowl induction hood for a 240z? I want a max of 2-3" of cowl, no 4+"ers. The only thing I seem to find is huge pin on cowl. Anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistafosta Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 http://betamotorsports.com/products/products.php?cat=4 Its a 4" cowl and a gradual slope. I want less cowl and a sharper edge on the cowl, like the msa one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its already painted red and has a little love on one of the edges where ups handled it. I would let it go at a good price if you are interested.

HLS30-08077 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The best ones I've seen are the hand made ones. I made mine a few yars ago, cut the hood open, lifted it a bit, filled in the cut, extended the hood over the cowl, welded and body filler (glass and plastic)then painted it.

zeeboost Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'm in the same boat as you mista. I'm thinking the best solution would be to just grab a universal one from summit. They have the dimensions on there so you could get an idea of how it would fit the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steel hood weighs a ton so if I am gonna put any effort into the hood I will be swapping it to fiberglass and I don't want it to take a ton of work. Just want something easy and quick. Rucus, email me pics and a price, mista240z@gmail.com Im betting shipping will be prohibitively expensive though unless you have a hookup..

GOTHALOSISM Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) I have no clue if this is what your looking for but after a quick google search I found an interesting looking one that has a 2 1/2" cowl. http://www.body-panel.com/details.asp?ID=3268 Not sure on the cowl size but a great person to deal with http://www.reactionresearch.com/pricelist.html#optionalparts I'll post more as I find them since they are getting harder to find.

Maybe the subtle Z hood, wonder if it comes with the 280z vents installed.. That other one doesn't look like it would fit a non-Gnose 240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I completely forgot about this one. Not sure if he still makes them but when I talked to him last he still did on order by order basis... http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/35939-ss-style-hood-with-cowl-induction/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montezuma Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I was at the MSA Garage Sale on Saturday and they had a returned cowl induction hood there for sale. I believe they wanted $50 for it. It had 4 holes in it, I guess the guy who returned it was intending to use hood pins. I talked to one of the guys about this thread and he said the main reason for not carrying the hoods is because of quality and fit issuses with the supplier. He said customers complained that the cowl hoods never fit right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigenOut-S30 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Im selling a Nissan Comp. side vented cowl hood if you are interested.

If I had known that you would want it for sure I could have bought and left for you to pick-up. Too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
