and a way to keep moisture out would be clear silicone then. an so it won't get in your trunk, remove the inside liner thing off your trunk, over the hole with tape from the inside, then put silicone in the hole, then just wipe off and excess silicone so it's flush with the trunk. this way the silicone doesn't escape through the hole to your trunk and once the silicone dries, it is a flush finish and you can remove the tape from the inside.

So I got an eBay intake. the nipple for the pcv valve was a nylon nipple that screws into the intake.
I thought it was a bit sketchy and thought that I should put silicone around it to ensure a good seal. but I didn't and now I have a fluctuating idle.
I also cleaned the throttle plate a little.
power feels the same, but at a stop it jumps around + or - 200 rpm from 1k-800 rpm.
im going to remove the intake an put silicone around the nylon nipple now. just curious if anyone had this problem before.
only other possible thing I see is air entering thought the couplings. but I tightened those. up as much as I could.
someone give me hope and say its most likely that crappy nylon nipple lol.

But I bet its the throttle plate. You can throw it out of calibration really easily by touching it. Try a throttle position learning reset. Didnt work for me though, I had to take it to a dealer when I did that.

It might be the nylon nipple, I took the precaution of applying silicone there.

Didn't wanna start a new thread over this, but I need a solution. Since I bought my G, the navi control trim/frame seems to be loose. So I tried to glue it with crazy glue and that didn't hold for even a day. Skip a couple of weeks, my genius cousin says he got it... he put some 3m double sided tape on it and made it all uneven. So before I even get to see what he did, he tries to remove it. Now its all beat up and bent up. Is it possible to replace or am I stuck with it? Can I remove it and try to make it straight? Any advice would be appreciated.

K&N Filter + Ztube?
I was looking at Air Intakes and see people posting about Z Tubes? I know what a CAI is but what exactly is a Z Tube?
Is there anyone that can link me to a K&N CAI + Z Tube for my model so I can get an idea of this? Maybe an explanation. THanks so much ahead of itme.

Well a lot of people put the z tube on their g. I don't know much about the Stillen kit but I know a lot of people like the z tube because of the sound and the fact that unlike a lot of intake options it doesn't seem to lose power. If you're really concerned with power/fuel economy you're first mod should be a plenum spacer, the best of which seems to be the motordyne 5/16" iso thermal.

is it hard to change the brakes on the g35 sedan?
one of my rears has ****ed up my rotor.
and the fronts are already starting to squeak with the low pad indicator pin.
so I'm just gonna get new pads as rotors all around.
it'd be nice if I changed them today. but I don't know if it'll take long....?
