looks good!

do you mind if I ask how much it set you back?

US$175, I chose this one becasue it is designed for 350z/G35/M35, it got a TIG Welded bracketry and Vibration Mounts, also a mount for oxygen sensor on the tube.

Alright thanx 4 dat . Btw Paul besides showing dyno results and throttle sound, did u actually feel any difference once the z tube and pop charger were installed( excluding the spacer).

Cheers

here is what they tested on a 350z, claimed that gain 10kw and 7Nm, but to be honest, I can't feel that 5% gain on the wheel.

No not really. Only difference in mods i could feel was the lightweight under drive pulley

I can assure you that the Fujita kit isnt low enough to suck up water. Unless the puddle is up to your headlights, in which case you're probably stuffed anyway.

I'm personally not a fan of the nissan Z tube + JWT combo, but I confess that I havent actually tried it. My main reason is that it still has the "corrigated" (for lack of a better word) section. I'm no engineer but I would have thought a smoother tract to be better...

In any case, I am doubtful of anyone who says that they can feel a power gain with either one. I lean more towards the airbox = better performance.

All of that aside, the noise is the only reason why you would bother with it. I love the noise therefore you may call me a ricer if you like :)

This looks alot more neater, plus think about it, it has much softer curves allowing for the air to pass through with minimal resistance(compared to the Z-tube). I do think that the JWT combo for some reason has the loudest noise out of them all. In terms of power gains, no breathing mod will give you a noticable increase in power which you can feel.

Hey guys...

I CAN feel the difference between my intakes on the car...from when it was stock to when it was high flow panel + ztube to a proper CAI.

And it's not just i can feel it, you can see it in the video too. I have a video of z tube + high flow panel and a video of a CAI. You will notice the CAI video has much stronger top end but weaker middle. In comparison the ztube + panel filter shows a stronger middle but weaker top.

Incidentally, the CAI video shows a 0-100 of 5.6s, if you check frame by frame.

Z tube + panel filter

CAI

Edit - Not saying your car will show the same results. Different state of tune, engine health, mods etc all come into play.

With the air box you you gain 3HP when up and over 100kmh from the ram air effect.

With an open/air pod you can gain between 10 and 15HP, air speed has little to no effect.

This is what i have read somewhere.

There is a thread in here somewhere with a guy sucking up water with his low mounted air intake.

With air box you gain 3hp ? Please explain...how can you gain hp from the air box if the air box is factory installed.

You can change the velocity stack inside the airbox to increase the ram air effect, but it's impact isn't drastic. From my experience, the airbox gives solid low down and mid torque but chokes the engine a little when revving out to 7k rpm.

I however need to get my car retuned for the CAI instead of airbox...that may explain my loss of power down low and mid.

If you put the car on a dyno and get 165rwkw then put the same car in a wind tunnel (wind speed 100kmh+) on a dyno you'll get more power from the "ram air effect"

and before you ask "who would put a car on a dyno in a wind tunnel?" the answer is the guy who built it Carlos Ghosn

I think thats the guy who owns/runs Nissan

Intriguing bit of info but irrelevant for comparison ?

As running the factory box or a cai setup, the air speed parameter for testing/comparison will always be identical between the two, whether it be a dyno fan or travelling at 100km/h.

Also, if you had the pod enclosed within the largest box you can make fit in your bay, then run some decent feeds to it (large enough that when going at 100km/h, it will push enough air into the box to create positive pressure), then you'll get that "ram air" effect. It's basically cramming air into your engine vs it having to suck it in (think turbo/supercharging). I don't know if you're gonna be able to negate the neg pressure generated inside the box when the you go WOT though.. being a 3.5l, it's gonna be sucking a fair bit of air. Come to think of it, i really doubt the factory box can generate any sort of pressure, maybe just reduce the vacuuming effect. The velocity stack built into it and the internal design of the box will be engineered to increase air velocity and smooth air flow however.

Anyways, it's all moot, we're talking like 2rwkw lol =/

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
