Welcome to G35Driver skyline3fiftygt, sorry about the two above posters.
The OEM Intake for a g35 is already very good, you will see minimal gains if any with any other after market intake tube. Many people go with a Ztube( the intake tube from a 350z) and yes other companies make copy's of the Ztube(ie. stillen Ztube). You can grab a used Ztube from a 350z for about 40 bucks, that's what I paid.
From Stock Intake tube to a Ztube you will have a less muffled sound and a better induction noise. Many people keep using the stock air box because its really good but it does not give the best sound
Also many other people use a Ztube/popcharger combo which will make you loose a little low end power but you gain a little top end power, and it will sound better then with a stock airbox.
hope this info was helpful
and use the search its helpful too

You're better off getting a z-tube and buying a K&N drop-in filter, that's about as good as it gets in the "real world!" If you get one of those intakes with the exposed filters you'll be sucking hot air which kills HP, who wants that....anybody?

lol that's hilarious...this is the reason I search for everything...but to answer your question Skyline, it would probably be best to go with a ztube and filter like garyC mentioned above...I personally went with the z-tube/popcharger comboOriginally Posted by Cubanl81

you know that aem and nismo is about the same sh** right? better off with a z tube or injen. i had a injen rd on my g and my girl has a sp injen or some s*** like that.. was thinking about the whole z tube and the pop but i said f*** it and got injen.. no problems and i feel a lil kick into it when the filter is clean haha.
