You can make one for about $0 - $10, if you're a bit handy. I saw a how-to on the forum a while ago. Did it differently to me (probably better lol) but was more involved.

Nissan will charge you about $90 for it, but if you pop off the plastic cover then stick some rubber or stiff foam around the edge to stop hot air getting in, you'll end up with the same result.

Of course it won't say "Poooowweeerrrr duct" for everyone to see when you open the bonnet......

sorry i'll elaborate on that....

im not interested in the fictional power gain with this mod, am just in need of the OEM part that goes here

Umm, I'm confused. If it's a fictional power gain, why are you so interested? I'm not saying you will get much (if any) gain (as opposed to us M35 owners), but wouldn't you like to try a zero cost mod to see before being touched up by Nissan or anyone else?

If it's only about the looks, put the money towards something that can be seen on the outside IMO.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
