Yo-Yo Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Yup Skunk2 is the brand but for their spacer, they are upto version 2. Lol, bit confusing after the top post.Can't wait to see the new 370z/370gt parts and the improvemets they will give fair enough lol, skunk22 it is then The amount of aftermarket goodies for the infiniti guys makes me jealous, can't wait until the market picks up here. I personally don't see that happening anytime soon so Sourcing from America is my only option at present Edited May 29, 2009 by Yo-Yo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/271392-best-mods-1000aus-to-spend/page/4/#findComment-4624750 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scathing Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 What do you guys think of these?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Infinity-EX...A1%7C240%3A1318 They're the same as any otehr eBay scam posted on here, that use a resistor to modify the AFM signal. Stay away. Luck is the only thing that will determine whether you get more horsepower because it leans the mixture out a tad, does nothing because its a crock of shit, whether you lose horsepower because it richens the mixture, or blows your motor up because it leans the mixture out too much. My basic attitudes are that any piece of powertrain-related electronics that don't allow for tuning to your specific car are a complete waste of time.

manda23 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Because i didn't reset my ECU after i put the mods on it took about a hours worth of driving before the computer had optimized it's self with the mods. When i put the JWT filter on the sound change was instant."Is it worth it?" Is any of this stuff we do to ours cars worth it? I don't think so But i like to do it and that's what it's all about Yeah so finally got the spacer k&n drop in filter and the cf z-tube put in today. After the first take off i thought yeah the car feels lighter. But then after about 30mins driving it felt the same. The sound really sounds the same as well its hardly noticeable. But what im thinking and hoping is like you said maybe it takes time for the ECU to learn with the new mods on. But im also thinking because i have this ECU is it a learning one and how do i re-set the damn thing. Who would pay this much money without any benefit im surely not benefitting. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...35CS.htm%23aero Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/271392-best-mods-1000aus-to-spend/page/4/#findComment-4841211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touge Kyousou Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 manda23, I think awhile ago we discussed your mod plans in Pm's.. ? Anyways, those mods should normally net some form of gains on a V but like i said, with your impul ecu in place...your car may behave differently to another with the normal ecu (ignition timing leading to knock sensors going off for example). Also, the V like most modern cars tries to determine the mood you're in. If you're doing normal grandpa driving, the first time you give it a good footful, it won't feel particularly fast. Takes a few goes before the ecu realises you wanna move somewhere fast and changes accordingly. I've noticed this on my V on many occasions. As for the sound, if you have kept the stock airbox, the sound should be same below 3000rpm or so, you will notice above this the engine will sound a bit more rough/loud.

My hands still have grease from it then i did the easy reset and drove it around. I got so excited when i got it i couldn't wait till home time, so i installed it at work! You're right about the noise not so noticable. But i did notice the deeper tone Especially at WOT. maybe it'll change when i install my Poop Charger tonight EDIT : Got rid of unrelated post , I thought he had a standard ECU , silly me..

dodes47 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Omg omg! It really did make a difference! After i installed the pop charger, it sounded like a bloody v8 for Christ sake! The z-tube install was a walk in the park compared to the actual pod install. The heat shield was the hardest to put in with the trimming and all. Thanks Paul, for the inspiration. Btw, I noticed a little high pitched hissing right after I change gear. Is yours doing that as well?

Is yours doing that as well? Yes, that's normal for the Popcharger. I had people asking if I'd turbo'ed the car, because they thought it was an atmospheric BOV venting. I don't know how you could confuse that little hiss with a BOV, but I do like the induction note through the pod when you're hard on the throttle.

dodes47 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Yeah, it does sound a bit like turbo..I wish.. I love it though! Just thought i'd upload a few pics of it. The Pop Charger came a little damaged due to the stupid little box they decide to force fit it in . I got some of my money back for it though, will this affect the performance at all? Brilliant Ebay seller with lightning fast delivery but they got idiots in the packing section. Check it. All in all, really happy with the way it sounds. I can't feel much difference in performance though. Then again, mine is a GT-8. So i don't care as much Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/271392-best-mods-1000aus-to-spend/page/4/#findComment-4846594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
V35_Paul Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 The damage looks very minor, you got nothing to worry about. Good to see you put the "heat shield" on. Some crew get lazy/or don't know how to put it on and don't put it on/ or put it on wrong. Hey everyone i know i have posted it before (somewhere) but i'll put up my before and after dyno results on the weekend when i find them Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/271392-best-mods-1000aus-to-spend/page/4/#findComment-4846743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i don't care as much Could you please post a sound file so we can hear? I'm tossing up between this or a drop in filter. I prefer the look of the pod, but worried it might be too noisy for me.

xscape237 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hey mate. I have the fujita intake, with a pod filter. I tried to take a sound clip but it was not that great. The car isnt loud under every day driving conditions. But yes the noise changes completely once you put your foot down. It is an awesome note, you will be happy with it, if you like tough sounding cars. I hate to admit it but it sounds a bit like a honda on VTEC.
