You know, if you go to the K&N website, it says you can order a CAI kit from Repco or Autobarn. So why bother searching high and low for a kit (or even DIY)? I am not in Aust now, but it will be the 1st thing I'll be doing - to enquire about the price at Repco.

Or, another alternative, (If you are a cheapskate like me), then search eBay for a kit. The best kit that i have seen so far with a K&N filter is $58USD plus $55AUD delivery. It's $20.50USD for a kit without the K&N pod filter (I wouldn't recommend) from the same USA Seller.

Hope that helps.

And oh, despite what you read on the K&N website regarding V35 sedans (G35 Infiniti) and V35 Coupes, the CAI is the same, except for the coupe CAI Kit, they have extended the pipe further down into the front bonnet area. Anyways, do your own research.

Furthermore to this, if you are searching for the radiator air dam cooling plate thingy , don't be silly and go a 350Z one as it won't fit! And, coupes and sedans differ, so buy carefully. I have also searched ebay and found a good CF one for around $50USD to fit the coupe (and needs a bit of trimming to fit the sedan).

For all you V35 coupe owners out there, feel lucky that you can get much more aftermarket bling bling than us poor V35 sedan owners....

My 2 cents worth...

K&N Typhoon cold air intake is about $700 give or take 100. Got one for my Camry last year.

AND i just finished putting on my new cold intake...... oooo

I had a "Panic Attack" when taking off part of the intake pipe :D . It ripped almost in half "OMG!!" have to fix this so i can drive me car!

Got it all fixed with glue and tape, lots of tape. :P

Started putting in the new intake and blow me down i didn't need the part i broke. So the trip to the local supermarket to get the really cheap glue and tape was a waste of time so was all the yelling i did at myself.

Looks good ay?

yup, JWT.. i m still deciding if i should keep my cf tube in or swap it with the z-tube and which to sell..

Paul, how did u get the heat shield installed? i still cant figure out how to put tat into the car :)

LOL yeah took me ages to work it out. but when i got it in i was like "oh how easy"

At work now, i'll post a "how to" with pics when i get home

the whole process was a little scary.. *doing these first time..

After failing and the sky getting dark, i gave up and drive without it, normal.. (mayb vic is too cold to feel the difference)

When the car is started, i do feel the air heat blown from engine if i put my hand under the pod, so better get the shield installed soon.. to block it from sucking hot air..

Did u hear the little hissing noise when u giv it a big push? i hv... still trying to find out if it 'suppose to b' tat way or there is a small leak..

Not really any hissing noise from mine. i do get a little half second hiss when i first tap the go peddle.

Well you are ment to put on the heat sheild before anything else but i guess you can work around the pod.

It's only there to stop the heat from your engine. But i guess if it's a cold day and your driving, the cold air would blow the heat away "maybe"

Just had my V on the DYNO again but the readings were not good. Ownly because the V's need time to adjust to the new settings. I had a before test from a month ago 163kw on the wheels then put my spacer on and got 170kw, put the new intake on and got 153kw on the first go :D"WHAT IS GOING ON?" second run 163kw, next 168kw, next 171kw, next 174kw, next 178kw, then i stopped it was getting late. So the V needed time to adjust. I will go back to the DYNO next week after the car has had more time to adjust.

The sound is wicked cool. I still got my standed exhust (i don't want to change it)

hey dude looks awesome how is the sound! i want to get a JWT but have heard it actually lowers power / does nothing because it sucks in hot air from the engine even with the pod cover.

i was thinking of getting the stillen, which is enclosed in a box, hence it will be harder to get defected for also. i have also read the stillen actually does lower intake temps because of its design.

well in the end i got more power but still going to wait until the V has adjusted. I was getting cold air in the pod. we had a temp sensor in the pod. It did lower power the fist run but got better as we dit more runs.

Didn't you read my last post?

wanna ask for some suggestion.. i heard somewhere that the oem 350z intake pipe is actually better, compared to stainless steel pipe, due to reason that stainless-steel pipe gets hotter easier and faster than plastic, so actually hot air are being suxked in..

Anyone can help to explain if this is right or wrong in anyway?

I do kinda agree if someone told me plastic gets hot the same way just like stainless steel... but it does also get colder faster than plastic rite?

this is the reason i still cant decide wat kind of intake i should buy and install on my v35.. :D

Why not get this Intake Induction Hose 4PLY Silicone.

It should be even better in Heat resistance. You can find it in Ebay

    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.    
    • who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!
    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
