Still shopping for a cheap Ztube and i found this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-06...3A1|240%3A1318

Its metal a +, and it looks about the same diameter as a OEM.

thoughts.




Im bidding on an OEM as of right now, same Price kidna, but im not sure i will win, just a thought on this

 

go for it

 

heeeeaaaaaaat sooooaaaaaak

 

i bought cheapo generic stuff like this for my previous car - a maxima. don't think i could do it to my G. my thought is - i've got a really nice car...the least i can do is buy name brand!

just my .02¢...to each his own i guess.

 

fugly.

buy a used one from a z owner. $25...

 

it looks cheap...just get an oem z-tube

 

wow, you buy a g35 and buy shippy crappy knockoff parts.. geez

 

^+1

also dont be cheap and at least buy a used z-tube from our sister site www.my350z.com

 

+1, you paid big bucks for a G. Then pay big bucks for aftermarket parts!
If you want to ghetto it just get a civic.

 

Sorry this tube looks like hardware store quality and like a few other member
mentioned you'll have to deal with the heat soak "thing!" You need the
incoming air to be as cool as possible, metal z tubes aren't a good choice.

I have to agree with the majority here. On my last car I bought no name parts off of ebay and stuff like that. It wasn't the greatest, some parts broke..ect.

If you got your self a nice G, buy the good stuff. You get what you paid for in most cases, If you can't afford it hold off until you can or leave it stock, its a nice car as it is. I am going to be real careful in modding my G.

 

it's metal = it's gonna suck in hot air in ur block... BAD idea.. go with plastic bro. maybe cf wrapped plastic if u want. turbo setups have metal piping but they have HUGE *** intercoolers.

 

Well aside fromt he heat soak comments, which really having a metal z-tube doesn't affect heat soak enough for you to feel any difference as your upper plenum is way hotter than the air that's comming in your intake thus your intake temp will basically be the same, as was tested by another member, it's ugly as fvck, please don't get it, get the UT polished or chrome z-tube, at least get a nice one if you want a metal tube.

 

dont worry im not getting it , jsut wanted to see ur opinions , still shopping for my OEM

 

everythingg35.com or eBay...don't see why you're having a problem finding one.
