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.

Looks good ay?

yup, JWT.. i m still deciding if i should keep my cf tube in or swap it with the z-tube and which to sell..

Paul, how did u get the heat shield installed? i still cant figure out how to put tat into the car :)

LOL yeah took me ages to work it out. but when i got it in i was like "oh how easy"

At work now, i'll post a "how to" with pics when i get home

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

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? 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
