A noob question
I have searched but maybe im not searching for the right thing. I have a 300zx and im not new to cars(my stepdad builds drag cars for a living) but im new to the rotary engiine. So heres my question, is it possible to keep the A/C when adding a fmic. I read somwhere that you have to relocate the a/c plumbing is this true or do you have to do away with the A/C when adding a fmic.

yes but i have always loved the looks of a fmic...it may sound cheesy but thats my personal preference....lol but from what i have read the summers dont really like the fm due to the heat. With a V-Mount could you use sheet metal to feed the ic better at the track. I have a friend with a s13 turboed doing this. the sheet metal is angled from the bumper to ic to increase airflow. I know it sounds crazy but im not really gonna do that i was just wondering if that would help.

what kind of ducting, is there somewhere you can buy it. I have the plastic ducting from my 300zx intake. I dont know if that would work or not but a friend and i used some ducting about like that on his camaro. Maybe were thinking of 2 different things.
