Easier way to answer your question, GOOGLE the Nismo intakes and compare the item numbers. If they're the same you have a match, if not....well you know the answer to that one. (I hope)

Screw it. All just buy a brand new Short ram intake. I forgot about the risk of water going to the engine. Anyone got any recomdations on short ram intakes and possibly a good store to buy it from online?

Yeah, z tube from z1 motosports and a k&n drop in filter. Anything else is a waste of money and purely cosmetic....possibly detrimental to performance.

For the Cold Air Intakes, you can buy water-resistant covers for them from AEM if I am not mistaken. Doesn't disrupt airflow much and keeps the water out of the filter.

Those are both transverse mounted fwd and ours is not ....so no it wont...except probably the short ram part which is pretty useless.

Stillen Z-Tube and one of K&Ns drop in filter should put a smile on your face, even in the mid west....

K&N drop in filter came with car when i bought it. Just bought a oem 350z tube for $67.00 shipped. Was thinking about a JWT pop charger. The k&n drop in should work just as well im thinking?

Typical POP charger is metal/aluminum since summer has already arrived it would cost you 15% HP along with the monetary cost too. Our VQ motors love cool air stick with the drop in, you don't want the dreaded heat soak!
