vee35 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hi, I have searched and searched, and as usual with the internet, I have found conflicting responses. I have a 2003 V35 Coupe, and have decided to get a Plenum spacer, and am interested in the Skunk2 5/8" plenum spacer. The problem is, that while investigating this option, I have found numerous posts on various websites, that say there is an issue with Bonnet clearance and the standard engine cover on the coupe, when installing the 5/8" spacer. Has anyone here specifically installed this spacer?

Skylinetragic Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) did you search G35driver.com. bucketloads of stuff in there.

V35_Paul Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I have one. I kept the cover on and was able to close the bonnet BUT it does touch and rub. I then took it off to put my tower brace on.

Dreadnought Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I have one installed in mine with no issue, but I have removed the engine cover for normal use. I've run it with the cover since installing the spacer, from memory it wasn't touching. I'll have a look tonight to confirm.

J_Del Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have one. I kept the cover on and was able to close the bonnet BUT it does touch and rub. I then took it off to put my tower brace on. So it touched your tower brace? I have a stillen brace and there isn't much room already. I was going to install the Blox spacer.

iamhe77 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 You can easily fit a 17mm spacer in a sedan and very nearly a 17mm plenum spacer + 19mm runner spacer.
