Has anyone else got this setup as I am about to get???

I want to know what Air Intake you're running & if you're getting any O2 Sensor Errors with yours?

Apparently they are not worth the time, money or effort. Most reviews don't paint them in a positive light. The more popular option is the Cosworth setup.

Or for much less money get the Kinetix V+ plenum for VERY similar (if not superior) results.

I test drove a car with this very setup, also had a stillen CAI. Honestly, I did not notice any difference with this set up or the stock one. To be fair though, it's hard to put a car through its paces with the dealer sitting next to you. I didn't buy it as it had the check airbag light on the dash, and by the time I found out it was an easy fix, the car had gone.

It sure sounded nice though...

Isn't the above picture what a Velocity Plenum is Andrew?

Cosworth Twin Air Intake USD: $1,342 vs Kinetix Velocity Plenum USD: $758.

Well obviously anything with a dual air intake will piss over a single air intake anyday.

Like the 370GT's have...

Cosworth is the photo below, correct?

What about O2 issues.

Anyone have issues with aftermarket Plenums or Manifolds on here???

I can't imagine any intake mod would cause O2 sensor issues, except maybe oiled air filters that mess up the MAF??. things like aftermarket cats, or test pipes tend to trigger O2 issues.

Damn I would of got the CAT combo one if I knew about it before!!!

As an Exhaust shop was saying it was going to be $1,500 for a set of CATS if I needed to replace mine in the future!

How do the In-Line Resonator pipes;

produce slightly more rwhp???, Than the S.S Test Pipes;

Or shall I go for the Spun CAT design (http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_350Z_and_G35_high-flow_catalytic_converters.aspx)

with improved strength & more clearance???

As when I bought the car, the front left CAT was touching the underbody when under load.

After the exhaust system got fitted, its been better after some slight man power bending.

But I can still hear it when uphill in 1st gear taking off!

You can't run a V+ Plenum with an SSV Manifold can you???

Just have a look at the intakes.. the V+ is clearly designed to fit on top of the factory lower plenum. The SSV is a complete replacement manifold, so no way the V+ could fit along with it.

As for the CAT pipes.. I can't imagine much difference in performance in the top 2, maybe a bit of noise difference. the lower one at least won't make the car illegal (assuming it meets the minimum standard in Aust). Either way, they aren't going to give you much of a gain.

Cool, thanks for the info :)

Hi-Flow Aftermarket CATS it is...

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
