No difference with NISMO CAI
I just had the NISMO CAI installed and can't tell any difference especially in terms of noise, I expected it to roar between 3500 and 6000 rpm but I can't tell any difference at all...any clues???
Is your exhaust all oem or are you running a aftermarket exhaust? Once I installed my custom TD Injen exhaust, that was the end of hearing the intake anymore And thanks with a Injen CAI, then a K&N 350Z Typhon or the current Z-tube I have.

Honestly, you won't REALLY notice the effects of the CAI until it is late Fall/Early Winter.
The CAI is so low to the hot concrete (due to it's location in the vehicle) that the air it's sucking in isn't any cooler than the engine bay itself.

Even in 102 degree weather, actual measured temps from the MAF sensor doesn't support the notion that hot pavement effect's a CAI's air temps. Only when stopped, does the temp spike in real time. Once the car get's moving, temps settle back to normal. In the end, the oem intake is a CAI, aftermarket system's are not able to out do it's ability temp wise, 3 degree's lower will not effect power production.

Now, it will probably hurt your launch. If you are telling me that you have to get up and going to get the benefit of the CAI, then it's bound to hurt your initial launch, where it IS sucking in hotter air.
The Nismo intake is probably one of the worst of the CAI intakes available for the G35. It's made by AEM and has show no gains that I have seen on paper so far. On the flip side, I've seen several dynos now that show you can LOSE horspower using it.
