You know, if you go to the K&N website, it says you can order a CAI kit from Repco or Autobarn. So why bother searching high and low for a kit (or even DIY)? I am not in Aust now, but it will be the 1st thing I'll be doing - to enquire about the price at Repco.

Or, another alternative, (If you are a cheapskate like me), then search eBay for a kit. The best kit that i have seen so far with a K&N filter is $58USD plus $55AUD delivery. It's $20.50USD for a kit without the K&N pod filter (I wouldn't recommend) from the same USA Seller.

Hope that helps.

And oh, despite what you read on the K&N website regarding V35 sedans (G35 Infiniti) and V35 Coupes, the CAI is the same, except for the coupe CAI Kit, they have extended the pipe further down into the front bonnet area. Anyways, do your own research.

Furthermore to this, if you are searching for the radiator air dam cooling plate thingy , don't be silly and go a 350Z one as it won't fit! And, coupes and sedans differ, so buy carefully. I have also searched ebay and found a good CF one for around $50USD to fit the coupe (and needs a bit of trimming to fit the sedan).

For all you V35 coupe owners out there, feel lucky that you can get much more aftermarket bling bling than us poor V35 sedan owners....

My 2 cents worth...

K&N Typhoon cold air intake is about $700 give or take 100. Got one for my Camry last year.

AND i just finished putting on my new cold intake...... oooo

I had a "Panic Attack" when taking off part of the intake pipe :D . It ripped almost in half "OMG!!" have to fix this so i can drive me car!

Got it all fixed with glue and tape, lots of tape. :P

Started putting in the new intake and blow me down i didn't need the part i broke. So the trip to the local supermarket to get the really cheap glue and tape was a waste of time so was all the yelling i did at myself.

Pics

Looks good ay?

the whole process was a little scary.. *doing these first time..

After failing and the sky getting dark, i gave up and drive without it, normal.. (mayb vic is too cold to feel the difference)

When the car is started, i do feel the air heat blown from engine if i put my hand under the pod, so better get the shield installed soon.. to block it from sucking hot air..

Did u hear the little hissing noise when u giv it a big push? i hv... still trying to find out if it 'suppose to b' tat way or there is a small leak..

Not really any hissing noise from mine. i do get a little half second hiss when i first tap the go peddle.

Well you are ment to put on the heat sheild before anything else but i guess you can work around the pod.

It's only there to stop the heat from your engine. But i guess if it's a cold day and your driving, the cold air would blow the heat away "maybe"

Just had my V on the DYNO again but the readings were not good. Ownly because the V's need time to adjust to the new settings. I had a before test from a month ago 163kw on the wheels then put my spacer on and got 170kw, put the new intake on and got 153kw on the first go :D"WHAT IS GOING ON?" second run 163kw, next 168kw, next 171kw, next 174kw, next 178kw, then i stopped it was getting late. So the V needed time to adjust. I will go back to the DYNO next week after the car has had more time to adjust.

The sound is wicked cool. I still got my standed exhust (i don't want to change it)

hey dude looks awesome how is the sound! i want to get a JWT but have heard it actually lowers power / does nothing because it sucks in hot air from the engine even with the pod cover.

i was thinking of getting the stillen, which is enclosed in a box, hence it will be harder to get defected for also. i have also read the stillen actually does lower intake temps because of its design.

well in the end i got more power but still going to wait until the V has adjusted. I was getting cold air in the pod. we had a temp sensor in the pod. It did lower power the fist run but got better as we dit more runs.

Didn't you read my last post?

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.. :D

Why not get this Intake Induction Hose 4PLY Silicone.

It should be even better in Heat resistance. You can find it in Ebay

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
