Hi Penny

i too am in the market for an Injen intake i think they are pretty good sound great and look the part too

I am currently in contact with JDMYARD in sydney who are the Official Distributors of Injen here in NSW.

If they are going to charge way too much i will order it from the USA if the AUD will go up a little will be even better

i have a stillen Z-tube. highly recommended as its a perfect 100% fit and sounds great

don't expect any performance gain however with ANY intake otherwise you are kidding yourself. there is quite a sound difference at wide-open throttle however

i will be selling my intake shortly if you want to hold off for a few weeks

the injen kit looks great but i have heard that the fitment isn't so good

Still no idea as they havent gotten back to me.... not happy!!

I hate it when places say "i will get back to you" because they never do!

I don't think any place has ever "gotten back to me". I've always had to call back.

Just keep calling them - you'll get info eventually.

stillen z-tube is basically just a smooth pipe that connects the back ofthe AFM to the front of hte throttle body, thus eliminating the baffle and large resonator type device that slows down airflow on our car

the high-flow part is basically a pod and airbox that replaces the standard airbox. i simply replaced the standard filter with a K&N panel filter to achieve the same net result

basically any form of intake sounds great when WOT but the difference is not noticable at any other throttle position. get the cheapest kit you can that fits well.

i got mine from www.stillen.com but you can also get it from www.everythingg35.com and probably a few other places

I fitted a Z-tube to mine last weekend with the factory airbox and K&N panel filter as well. Apart from the more aggresive rev note around 3-4k rpm, I think there was a slightly noticeable increase in performance as well...but maybe thats just my ass dyno at work ;)

Hey guys,

If anyone here has decided to change their airbox and are looking to unload their OE "power" Airbox (the open one with the foam surrounds), I would be interested in taking it off your hands.

(don't see any in the For Sale section)

Just make your own. Costs less than $20. Cheaper than buying it from Nissan and just as effective. :P

Yeah, I saw the pics you posted a while ago in the other thread, it looks great....

Have you managed to fill the gap on the lower front of the box?

Yes, I used a piece of foam and glued it in the gap at the front. It is attached to a piece of L shaped extruded plastic that I cat groves in the end so it slides down the front edge of the air box and will not fall out. It sits just under the front composite cross member.

I folded the rubber seal on the bonnet back so it would allow air to flow and not block it off. I used a piece of wire in the end of the rubber and then bent it so it stays to the side. (just in case I ever want to out it back to stock)

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
