OFFICIAL "What Mods Should I Buy for my Coupe?" Thread

Hi Guys, I'm from New Zealand, I have a japanese badged Skyline 350GT just arrived and I'm wanting a couple of easy mods just to start the ball rolling. Was going to put an aftermarket panel filter in, but Ive been seeing alot of reference to the Ztube? Is this an easy install with good results? I am interested in getting one, but not sure where to start. Will I still need to get the panel filter to go in behind it anyway? If so I will start with that and try and work out how to get a Z tube into NZ! Sorry to rant, looking forward to getting involved here!
Cheers

Welcome! A Z tube is basically just a 350Z intake. The G35's has a couple baffles, or areas to quiet down the intake noise, whereas the Z Tube is fairly straight and basically just a straight tube from the filter box into the throttle body. It's pretty easy to install, open up the filter box, put in a better k/n filter or likewise, then a couple of clamps and exchange the pipe for a z tube. Reviews/results showed around 5hp difference, but it's mainly for the sound. I believe I gained maybe 1 mpg if that, as well. It's a nice and cheap first mod as you can instantly hear the difference under WOT.
