Hey guys, I am looking for a V35/Z33 plenum which has the inlet (where the throttle body bolts on) bending around to the drivers side instead of the usual passenger side bend.

I saw one that was available in the US a while ago but cannot find it now.

Any of you guys seen one in your internet travels? If so, where did you see it?

You may have spied a part photo showing the right side of a late model dual intake. In all my trolling I've never seen an early model with the inlet on the RHS. Curious as to why you'd want this?

Nah, definitely not a duel intake plenum. It was an add-on for a turbo kit where the intercooler piping went from the turbo on the right side (looking at the front of the car) down into a large front mount, then out of it and straight up the left side of the engine... much like my Stagea's intercooler piping.

Reason? The Stagea's plenum and runners are considerably smaller than the 3.5's but it looks like the VQ35's items could bolt on to the VQ25det.

Thus to maintain the most direct path for the intercooler piping, I would need the V35/Z33 plenum that has the inlet pointing left instead of right.

Or custom fabricate your own upper plenum off the lower half. I think the 3.5 plenum will be too big for a turbo application causing lag while filling it.

I have some great designs just waiting to be made up... :happy:

Cam, we will have a spare upper plenum floating around in the not so distant future, we could possibly look at modifying it to test your theory. :P

And it will be cheaper and easier than finding the particular one you saw on the net! :(

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
