Evaluation of the First Four Mods To My G
Yes....really!
Sierrahpbt used the word significant in reference to how sways would improve the ability of his G35. I was lucky enough to have Stillen install my sways at their open house a few years ago and didn't notice a great deal of difference and I'm always play'in in the canyons. It wasn't until I installed the upper strut bar/springs/shocks and endlinks did I notice a significant change in my cornering ability and that's always running Michelins on my coupe.

What gaping hole are you talking about with the R2C? The cutout your snorkel should fit in? I bought the 350Z version that doesn't have the cutout because I don't run the snorkel. I did have to fab a bracket to hold the box tight so it seals against the hood since my intake tube isn't supported at the plenum like most are. You can see my bracket coming off the radiator support to the left side of the box in the pic.
Great write up BTW!!

The ground wires came from sxexcx and yes, the kit came with instructions which I read four times before starting the install. Not sure what you mean about installing the wires separately or all at once. Several of them share a common connection point. The complete job took one hour.
B/c you said each gave a noticable intake growl, I was just wondering if the growl was from a full install or for each piece by it self.
thanks
Sorry I should have been clearer. I wanted to know if you installed each mod seperatly, z-tube on stock car, then intake on stock car no ztube, spacer with stock intake system.

You can hear your intake working a bit more with the Z-tube, but you can really hear the intake sucking in air after you swap out the box, sounding almost like a turbo spooling up. I don't think the spacer is going to make a huge difference on intake sound, at least I never noticed anything. But your car should sound just a bit more aggressive because it's getting better air flow into the motor altogether.

I installed each mod separately (a few days apart) but one on top of the other and I was able to judge each one on its own merits and also as a group mod. Hope that makes sense.
cool thanks just what i wanted to know
PM sean, SxExCx, has grounding kits with instructions. There is also a diy of making your own somewhere.
Well now I'm torn. I can do one more mod and then I need to slow the spending for a while. I need opinions please - would you get sways or HFCs next? They both sound worthwhile from what I am reading.
