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.

    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
