Hey all

Got and installed my new intake on the V35.

I also put a new K&N panel filter in. Its the same model number as a VS 3.8 litre commadore. A360.

It looks pretty good to me, i might use a longer piece of silicon pipe for the end nearest the box, but just to neaten it up a bit.

The sound is way better in the higher ranges and when the throttle is nice and wide open.

Down low, its great, no more noise than stock until you give it a hit.

Photos attached and a video with a digital camera.

The sound quality isnt great, but you'll get the idea i hope.

got the pipe off ebay. No idea what brand it is, but i like the stainless look rather than the plastic look of the z pipe.

Self install with a mechanic mate. But having seen it installed, anyone could do it without any worries at all.

Took 15 mins, as we removed some of the excess plastic from the box and the intake.

Now the muffler to install and it'll be complete as far as external mods go.

Hope to get better video over the weekend of the engine and the sound of the car going past.

wanna ask for some suggestion.. i heard somewhere that the oem 350z intake pipe is actually better, compared to stainless steel pipe, due to reason that stainless-steel pipe gets hotter easier and faster than plastic, so actually hot air are being suxked in..

Anyone can help to explain if this is right or wrong in anyway?

I do kinda agree if someone told me plastic gets hot the same way just like stainless steel... but it does also get colder faster than plastic rite?

this is the reason i still cant decide wat kind of intake i should buy and install on my v35.. ;)

The Truth from 350z is that the Intake is already a great design on 350z, They just need to use a Drop panel filter and it's already Perfect. But if you want the Noise you can go for the POD (ie JWT pop Charger). also most of the tuner in japan uses the SS tube like Matt did. So about the heatsoak i'm not too sure, if you want can just heatwrap it or so.

myself uses the CF Tube on mine with the K&N Drop in Filter.

to be honest if you want to get the Z tube. at least get the one from US version. It doesn't have that Water Collector/Resonator on the tube like the Australia version does.

Cheers

Is that what it is!?? I asked the question on the g35 forum a while ago and no one could tell me exactly what it was or how come theirs didn't have it. Oh well...still does the job I guess.

Yeah, that stupid appendix thing is a resonator. The US models didn't get it. I am pretty sure the Japanese cars did. It's for NVH.

Honestly, if you bought a 350Z you shouldn't be allergic to a bit of induction noise.

Yeah the stainless steel pipe does get a bit warm but I think it would be hard to notice a difference in power compared to say a CF one, would probably only show up on a dyno over a number of runs. I should probably feel how warm mine gets now since I put the Kinetix Plenum on, would help a bit I imagine as that isn't metal.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
