Interested in the radiator opening size, certainly would reduce drag compared with stock, it's a feature lacking on most modern race Z's I've noticed. Makes me feel better about the slightly larger but similarly located opening that my race Z31 project has so i hope that pic wasn't taken mid winter.

As long as we’re doing PLN shots, who are the other two?

A similar opening can be found on the race cars that run in the NASCAR series. They even have detachable covers to increase/decrease the opening. Much less drag.

We ran the MSA type2 front spoiler for a few years with everything blocked off except for a 14 X 5 inch opening. We constructed a shroud that expanded as it got to the radiator. Once we moved in vintage racing, off it came (not period correct) so we are running with the mouth of a basking shark.

This looks fun!

Gotta show this again for those who haven’t seen it!
