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.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT?

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
