Sweet as because I could not find one specifically for the 2.5V6. I found a injen one from the US for the V6 where they only got the 3.5 in 3 power tunes and was curious if it would fit

My vq30dd came with a pod filter, why the hate?

Nissan factory airboxs are actually very good. In fact your airbox has flowed 300awkw on a Stagea. Thats with the front panel open. Pod filters are great at sucking in hot air from the engine bay (thus reducing power), generally reducing filtration, and being defectable if not enclosed by the Po po. They add noise but no power.

As I said before....

I have only looked at google images of the VQ25dd.I can't see any reason why a z-tube, wouldn't fit. have a search and look at one.

Make your own "powerduct" or buy one from a sucker thats got a pod filter on a VQ35de, and get a quality panel filter. Intake done. Its not going to get any better than that.

OR

hold off modifying it, wait 1 year, and go buy a turbo car thats easier to mod. I can't see how you'd turbo a DD motor. Its very different to a VQ35de. Just wait, buy a 350z and then go nuts.

I can't see why turbo charging a DD motor would be the different. Finding higher capacity DD injectors might be the only hurdle, assuming the factory injectors can't keep up.

It wasn't the fact direct injection and turbo hadnt been done but the vq25dd issues.

Yeah, we'll I'm glad I'm not doing it. Problems off the top of my head would be the dd injectors, the fact it's either 11:1 or 11.3:1 compression, plus the Strength of the connecting rods, and engine management.

I guess it's one of those things, if you throw enough money at it, it would probably work, but it's really not a cost effective project. Far better to ditch it when on full licence and get something easier.

yeah i agree on all those points!

either wait and get a VQ25DET motor installed (and i rekon youll have a monster) or upgrade later when you can afford to

its easier learning to hone your driving skills on a lower powered car. then upgrade when you can drive better.

Whoa, Iain, is that a can of worms I hear you opening, lol. Although most likely true, I can think of a heap of teenagers/early twenties guys (& gals??) who could drive better than me - on a race track anyway, where there's no worry of a lost licence. Although I might be a better (safer) driver now then when I was 18-20, I certainly don't have the nads for risk taking like I used to.

unless he has been driving for years in gokarts or something - no offence intended - then he isnt 'as good' as driver as some others and still may require the experience (and possibly patience) required on the road.

i still take risks, but i use experience before i attempt anything stupid :P

I totally agree. There was the generalisation, which is normally true btw, that young = not a good driver. I wanted to extinguish the flames before they took hold :happy: .

Pod filters are the biggest waste of time!! They suck on hot air and do nothing!!

The plans are:

-Exhaust.

-Port and polish.

-Cold air intake.

-ECU.

-Good tune.

And see what power I get from that. Saving for a M35 axis stagea

replacing that intake pipe on the NA engines is worthwhile, as is the plenum spacer.

a port and polish? you realise that means the motor has to come apart?

probably not worth it unless you throw in some cams too

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • 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)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • 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?
