Hi all,

I have been speaking to Riverside Infiniti about obtaining a batch of Motordyne ISO 5/16" plenum spacers shipped out to Melbourne. These are by far the most highly recommended spacers for the VQ35 and deliver great bang for buck for an n/a upgrade. The ISO version is a tad more expensive but is better for reducing heat issues which can only help in our cramped engine bays.

With today's shitty exchange rate, the cost is around AU$400-405 delivered for each unit. However, if I can get interest for 5+ units together, we can get them for about $370-375 each, depending on the day payment is made.

Interested parties should let me know by COB Monday and be prepared to transfer money to my account for payment if they want to be involved. They would also need to be prepared to pick up from me in Elwood or North Fitzroy. I have also posted this on the 350Z-Tech Australian Classifieds Forum.

Thanks,

Max.

interested with the ISO thermal version.. How long will the shipping takes? How much for deposit?

Shipping will be a couple of weeks I guess and I would ask for the full amount of $400 up front so I'm not out of pocket. I would refund the difference on pickup if we get enough takers.

According to the website here http://www.motordyneengineering.com/G35.php

it can add 12-14HP, now is that require an aftermarket piggy back system like SAFC or not?

I don't think they require any computer modifications.

I'm not even sure if I wanna join in, gotta stash up some money's as my fate on my current job might get decided over the next few weeks...

Sounds like another corporate downsizing exercise is coming...

But for you guys I found this instruction how to install them yourself... if you don't want to send the car to a mechanic.

There are two guys on 350z-tech from Sydney that are interested so a Melb and Syd order could be made if there is 5 in each location.

Exactly :down:. The way it is looking i think we will just about manage 5 in each location.

Annoying that I can't edit the first post.

The Motordyne Copper Iso Thermal plenum spacer for the 2003-2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan and 2003-2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe adds 12HP-14HP and reduces the effect of power robbing heat soak by thermally isolating both the upper and lower plenum. Its 5/16" thickness provides the best overall performance and is fully compatible with your engine cover.

All Motordyne Iso Thermal systems keep your upper and lower plenum cooled without the risk of throttle body freezing when driving in cold weather.

Use the Copper if it snows in your area.

i think the main point/difference here, is in the last line?

That's as I understand it. You can choose whichever one you like. I think ISO is the pick for Australian conditions, unless you regularly drive to the snow.

I'll update you in the Sydney buy.

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
