Hey guys,

what's the best air intake part to get?

I've been looking at Apexi Power intake...

What are your thoughts?

Oh and roughly how much more power does it give the car? And does it use less petrol?

Cheers :rofl:

Do you want to use the stock box with aftermarket panel filter, or pod filter?

With a panel filter, any aftermarket one will flow better than a factory one. K&N or Trust are ones I would use. You can get them off an R34 Skyline, or S15's. They are all the same.

Pod filter, well I like the Blitz Sonic Power intake kit as it has this cool alloy enclosure over the pod filter so should remain legal (I guess...)

Depends where you are located.

In Melb (OP locale), you can have a pod, but nothing else to the intake (piping, FMIC etc).

The pod MUST in a sealed airbox of it is instant defect... which IS enforced.

If you are wanting a pod, look at either;

3A Racing ~$30 (check out the Autosalon comparo for filtration/flow)

Blitz SUS Power ~$280 (Stainless Steel mesh pod which never needs replacing - can be cleaned - doesn't have the greatest filtration and is commonly found on extreme HP setups in Japan - 1000hp+)

Blitz Sonic Power ~$320 (this is a Blitz LM pod with the alloy enclosure to speed up the velocity of the air and make a certain noise)

The pod may fit but the shield would not fit in as the 350z is quite different.

Looks pretty close actually.

That said, it would be an expensive gamble, but I am sure if needed the shield could be "persuaded" to fit.

Dalton, you got anywhere you can try one on to see if it will fit like a retailer/performance shop etc?

whats the performance difference be between the K&N flat panel compared to the pod filter.. i was lucky to get the flat panel one (oil based on with the pink oil) with my m35.

would there be much difference of power other than the throaty noise of the pod. and does anyone know if theyre legal in qld?

You guys have seen the M35 3.5L NA engine bays? They have the extra section removed from the air filter box. I wonder if we can buy that part???

The Powerduct? You can get it anywhere... try Nissan if you want to part with ~$180... or offer one of the V35 guys money for theirs :)

Or you could make your own with single sided adhesive rubber

yes, they plug straight into our airbox (I have one - freebee from a friend)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
