OK, I was thinking of how to make a ram air system for my 89 240SX. Well my idea is find a scoop from a 84-89 300ZXt and locate it right above the stock airbox. Then useing Dauntts ghetto airbox idea (already done on my car) cut the bottom off the airbox and flip it over. So far i think it would work, but what about water coming in when it rains? Plus this means cutting a hole in my hood and attaching the scoop. RIVETS! It wouldnt look great but it would work.
