Yeah helps keep engine nosie down.

Isnt that "bad"~? :)

but that "resonator" is so bloody hard to take it off....maybe I dont have the correct tool, or just the angel to unscrew it from the top is just bit weird for my arm. took almost 1hr to get it sit in the storage box

Not necessarily if you're keeping the stock box setup (which is quite good).

The stock box's airflow characteristics may rely on having the resonator there. The blocking/removal of it may cause unwanted turbulence etc.

I'm not 100% on this but personally i thought i felt a decrease in response when i blocked mine off. YMMV.

Yeah the sound you get when you take it off or have straight intake is the turbulence through the intake.

It then sounds "tough" :) but it slightly slows air intake and thats why we have them.

But if you have straight intake and high flow filters the gains out weigh the small losses you get from taking out the resonators.

I'm all for sounding "tuff" but why not have both if you're running panel filter, i.e. high flow panel and better airflow characteristics..unless you damn it all to hell with a pod etc haha.

I've got a high flow filter and z tube in mine with stock box and personally, i love hearing the engine whine etc more than induction noise hehe. To each their own! :action-smiley-069:

fox i may be interested man. pm on my msn lol..im there its just always appear offline. hehe

I've just got replied from the guy who Blistc bought from, he doesnt hav discounts price for GB~

"This particular item is actually something that we import. Due to this, we are unable to offer a group buy discount on it. We also do not keep very many in stock."

and this is how much he wants,

"The total for the part and shipping will be $151.15. This total does not include any taxes, duties, or other fees that may apply. The price is also listed in USD."

I might ask EVO-R for the GB price, thanks

post-55745-1247814609_thumb.jpg flexi rubber was re-used co'z silicon coupler wont fit in MAF sensor housing

post-55745-1247814512_thumb.jpg replaced by 350Z inlet hose, co'z v35 inlet hose is located on top of the intake (cost AU$43)

post-55745-1247814450_thumb.jpg almost done

post-55745-1247815716_thumb.jpg done (out of pocket total AU$521.57)

does it worth it??? DUNNO!

Edwin,

Do you like the intake?

I purchased the same one on ebay. Several weeks later it still didnt turn up so i asked whats going on and it turns out that they ran out of stock, but never told me....

I got the Fujita instead. Much cheaper and uglier than the nismo, but it was available and came with a free energy drink, ha ha.

Installed it today and im quite pleased with the intake noise, sounds better than expected. I will post pics tomorrow.

just did a test drive...

happy with the sounds and a bit of power... looks better too!

... and yeah it does worth my hard earned $$$

got mine from performancenissanparts (eBay US), took them almost 3 weeeks, i think run out of stock too but delivery is about 4days.

May I ask why didn't you guys go with the JWT?

I was thinkin' btw the Nismo ( High price = high quality = branding for me! But I know it's actually AEM.... ) and the JWT.

I have a slight preference towards buying the JWT because of the excellent feedback of the engine noise is makes...

With the Nismo and Fujita, how would you all rate the engine noise?

PS I have never heard any of the above 3 intakes in person so am basing my purchase on the feedback of others.

I dont think there is anything special about the JWT.

I really wanted the nismo, but the fujita was next choice as i like how the intake tube is metal (aliminium?) and looks almost factory as its painted similar to the plastic engine cover. Note i removed the fujita sticker.

p.s. yes the intake noise is awesome. i dont think it will be too different to any other intake with an open filter.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
