hey guys,

Bout to order some mods online....

I am choosing between the following 2 combinations: 1. Motordyne plenum + z-tube or 2. Motordyne plenum + z-tube+ jwt pop charger.

I've got an 5AT, which I consider a 'cruiser' rather than a 'muscle' car. Does anybody think the JWT pop charger could be too loud? Ive already got a fujitsubo exhaust which makes some decent sound at high rpm.

Also will excluding the pop charger mean I will get less overall power gains? Ive read the plenum/ztube/jwt can add 15kw to the wheels...

I just want to ensure my car keeps its character I guess...

cheers,

Danny

I found my Popcharger only made my Z33 louder past like 3000RPM. Around town, you shouldn't even notice it.

Up in the rev range it gives the engine one hell of a nice note. I got compliments from everyone I drove past at WOT.

Hmmm been meaning to get one myself. Where are u planning to buy it from? I saw one on Ebay US but the postage price puts me off.

hi,

Just wondering what power gains did u get? I heard in some cases there is a loss of power down low?

Not sure...

share your experiences

Paul I sure I have ; )

I was referring to the Fujita filter..

no doubt the jwt/ztube combo adds some some power.

my only concern is if the sound is 2 loud, but seems like under 3000 I should be ok.

cant wait for the extra 15kw....

because the stillen are popular as well as the JWT and also help prevent with loss of power from heatsoak. The fujita and jwt will cause you to some power loss due to heatsoak without proper heatshield.

So far from my knowledge and the G35driver.com, that JWT are more popular for the 350z owner due to the hole intake at the front of the beam, while the V35 not as good. G35 in USA seems alot more popular using the stillen, being the one that having a good heatshield and prevention of heatloss. Also help with the problem of getting defect by cops too.

This is purely owners choice, if you just want sound then JWT pop charger. if you want sound and less chance of power loss, then go for stillen.

I just want the OEM looks and don't want trouble from coppers as well or even upgrade to the 06+ rev up intake box.

cheers

    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
