I personally don't think the reverse scoop (or shimming the hinges) is a good idea. I find that it increases the engine fumes coming in via the interior fan inlet directly behind the bonnet.
I have a guy at work with a massive reverse scoop and looks really tuff. He said he put it on four years ago and had no noticable difference
2011 GU8 ST 3.0 CRD, ARB Bullbar with IPF spotties, scrub bars and side steps, Snorkel, Dual Battery system, Waeco fridge, Turbo Timer, ARB Roof Rack with 5 IPF spotties across the front, Custom full Leather Bucket seats, DPchip, 3" Taipan exhaust, ARE Intercooler & scoop, Autron EGT/Boost and dual volt gauges, ARB front locker.
not convinced a reverse GU scoop would be of any benefit,
maybe after you turn it off with convection, bit old school
dont see them around the traps so maybe they dont work.
Some good reading in the link a few pages back though.
@ AB is this about the 6.5 with the twin fans
I was having big heat block problems with my 350 chev 4x4
I tried everything ended up being a faulty gauge go figure lol

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Drove past a new XR8 the other day travelling the same way as me on the FWY. The bonnet caught my eye after I was past it, I thought immediately of this thread and a couple of others.
The new FG XR8 has a Rear facing Bonnet Scoop built into the bonnet hump.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
