I just ordered my 5/16 ISO Copper Isothermal spacer. I have a couple questions however. First what is the difeence between the Z and G spacers? Motordyne shows two different prices, depending on model G vs/ Z. Second how noticeable s the Copper plate once it is installed, and does any one have before and after pictures? I would like to ad the isothermal spacer and copper plate, but don't want it to stick out like a sore thumb when I take the car in for service.

 

The Z kit comes with spacers for the Z's OEM sturt bar, that's why their is a price diffence between the G and Z.

EDIT:

If you take your G in for service, and the techs don't notice the spacer and/or the TB heater, I would be worried.

 

Like Citymunky said, it's probably because of the spacer for the actual oem strut bar on the Z. Other than that, the actual spacer is exactly the same.

Also, I have the 5/16 iso thermal spacer and it's not noticeable at all unless you really know VQ's. Even with the cover off, you still have to actually look for a modification or else you really won't notice it.

Not sure about the copper plate though...

.

 

The Copper TB heater is about as visible as the spacer. Not much to see when its installed.

With the cover installed there is absolutely nothing visible.

 

at leat MD doesn't charge more for the G spacer becasue it's an Infiniti... I've seen that kind of mubo jumbo before (from others)

 

Mrev2, 5/16" spacer and copper TB spacer all installed. . .can't tell at all. . .
need to wash the engine bay though

 

Is that ice on your window?

I bet your engine loves all that cold air.

PS yeah, you gotta give that engine bay a cleaning when spring time rolls around.

 

What is that (in the red)

 

Looks like an alarm horn?

 

most tech's will not notice the spacer... the only people who will notice it is someone who knows exactly what to look for...

 

Yeah she loves the Canadian winters lol. . .I'll be doing a full cleaning of the car inside and out, maybe swap out the engine as well

as far as that thing in the corner I think it's a horn lol. . .

 

Swap your engine?!?

Why? Oil consumption? Going FI?

 

Debating a twin turbo setup. . .looking through my options right now. . .
