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

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
