Hi guys,

I'm interested in getting a Jim Wolf Technology Pop Charger and 350z intake tube.

As it is, the JWT Pop Charger is an american product, and I've been searching around for an online store that will ship to oz but haven't had much luck.

I was wondering if:

a) Any of you guys know of a good parts web site to shop from - (excluding japanparts.com)

b) Has anyone installed these onto their v35's? What has been your experience with these or similar products.

Thanks in advance,

Damien

Hey mate

I get most of my stuff through traders on G35Driver.com.

For my intake, I've got a HKS Premium Suction kit. The car does breethe better and they sound great, but not sure if you would actually get any notable power gains, if thats what your after.

Cheers

all the evidence on g35 driver indicates that intake mods of ANY kind don't do anything for peak power, just increase intake noise.. if that floats your boat..

if i were you i woudn't waste my money. you can throw a high-flow panel filter in there for $100 and you'll be laughing

Are you sure mate?

I frequent g35driver.com also.

I've seen independent dyno sheets from stock cars before and after installs of the JWT Pop Charger with an increase of 6.5 hp atw.

I know that figure sounds a little high, but i was hoping for "some" kind of small improvement.

Thanks,

Damien

feel free to post them up here..

that is, dyno sheets from the same dyno on the same day immediately after without an ECU re-set

This is direct from the JWT web site - so probably biased.

I will look around for more tomorrow.

Don't expect to notice much performance increase.

I'm off to bed, tired!

I have both. I got them from everythingg35. They will ship to Aus, but for some reason their shipping costs they quoted was over $150 US. I got them shipped to a mate who was over there at the time and he brought them back in his suitcase. I had no luck trying to find one in Aus.

What I can tell you from my own experience in my sedan with no other mods at all when I put it on, not saying it will be the same for you:

* The Z-tube own it's own does jack all. No sound difference, no power difference. I was driving around with it for a month before I put on the pod filter.

* The JWT Pod filter - i put this on with the z-tube(I didn't bother trying it on it's own). With this combination, whatever gains I was meant to get are NOT noticeable. I sometimes do think that the car is going great, but I can't honestly say that I would attribute it to the new intake. For me 6hp is nothing anyway, so I wouldn't buy it expecting to feel the difference. No I haven't dynoed it before and after, why would you bother if you can't feel it in the first place? You do get that growl thing they all cream themselves over at g35driver over 4000 revs(meh it's ok...), but I found it also added quite a bit of rasp. Interested to know if others get this rasp too. There is no sound difference at idle, you literally hit 4000revs and then you get a different sound.

However - I can tell you that the JWT Pod is fantastic quality. It is MUCH larger than I expected it to be (about the size of your head!) and it looks great. It's not made of plastic like others i've dealt with, it's chunky metal. I would buy it again on this basis alone.

Experiences might differ with headers, exhaust, ecu - not there yet!

Also just to help out other members, if your are going to go to the trouble of buying stuff from over in the states, might want to post a new EOI thread so you can save on shipping, etc.

Carefull the "whistle" noise would be a bad seal. Double check your connections.

that is the actual real item

hey maybe i can organise a group buy on these items? if get a few people interested?

could choose between jim wolf or the Stillen

i personally am leaning towards the stillen, as i have been chatting to a few guys over on g35driver and a few of them said that the stillen is the only one when tested, which actually had colder air intake temps

the dollar is not bad right now - hovering around the 71 mark....

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
