i live in sherman oaks and i wanna install my intake but every one i talk to they want like $250 just to install any one know where i can get it done at ?

 

Do it yourself. Don't let their terrible directions scare you. All you have to do is take the left front tire off and pull off the front half of the inner fender liner. Super easy and it'll give you all the access you need. I did not take out the black foam block and plastic panel they say to do. I mearly sliced a chunk of the foam block off and left the plastic panel in place. Other than that, the directions are fine. Save the money man, do it your self. I flat out didn't want to touch it, but I forced myself to do it. I'm so glad I did, I was worried for nothing.

I dunno, maybe you just don't want to mess with it, but it's really not that hard.

I just bought one of these and plan to take a lot of pictures. I'm verifiably idiotic when it comes to auto mechanics so if I can do it then anyone can.

There's a local performance/import shop in Walnut/West Covina that charged me $60 to install.

 

yah man whats the nam of that place ill drive that far to some some pennys let me know the name of it thanks bro.

 

Do it yourself. Don't be lazy. You will feel a heck of a lot better after accomplishing it yourself on your own car. It's not a mod you can screw up and takes 2hrs tops. I didn't even take off the wheel or shave any foam. I just did it.


It's still a G thang!!

 

letsgoo,

Here's a picture of the lower airbox resonator area after you've removed the front driver's side wheel and pulled back the interfender.

You can PM me for details, if you like.

In my opinion $60.00 is a very fair price to have a shop install your Injen system.

The install was pretty easy. I installed it myself with help from a friend. I live in the San Fernando Valley and could help you if you want to do it yourself. However, it looks like you want to get it professional done. In either case, I think you'll enjoy it!

 

yah ill take help from any one who is willing to give it i just wanna put it on there i dont care who does it ...just as long as it's done right that's all....but i lost like 2 screws is that a big problem lol.

 

Why did you guys choose the Injen CAI over others?

 

cliverman,

I didn't, even though Injen is a good system.

Here's my logic.

1) The stock air inlet openings...

* The total area for G35's air supply is approximately 13 in/sq.

* The 350Z's maximum area for air supply is 12.25 in/sq. The Z's ram air effect may be slightly better than the G35's.

Reports by some forum experts state that the G35's are starved for air when compared to the 350Z. I can''t agree.

2) The G35's AC lines prevent routing an air duct through the radiator bulkhead as is done on the 350Z. So that option was out for me.

3) Most all manufacturers, except Stillen, replace the stock air duct from the MAF sensor to the throttle body with a non-baffled metal tube. (Metal tubes transfer heat very efficiently.)

4) Injen type systems locate the air filter in the open space where the lower resonator normally resides. This area, between the inner fenderwell and frame, is very likely a dead air space, especially on cars equiped with the under engine aero panel. (The Place Racing CAI on my Maxima was a similiar design, except the filter well was open on the front (lower grill) side.

5) Most all manufacturers provide a large hi-flow air filter with 3-5 times more surface area than is needed for a N/A 3.5 liter engine. This is not necessarily a bad thing as you won't have to clean it very often and if 2/3 to 3/4 of the surface area is soaked/blocked the engine will probably live.

I finally decided to go with the Z air duct and Stillen Airbox because;
1 - It's a reasonably "stealthy" system.
2 - The air duct and filter enclosure (heat shield) are "plastic" and won't transfer heat as well as metal.
3 - The air inlet remains above the grill. I live in the desert and the air temperature tends to be much cooler at hood level than at road level.
4 - The desert is also subject to periodic flash floods. Deep water collects very quickly at intersections and low spots in the road. (Poor drainage is not an issue because this only occurs a few times a year.)
5 - Stillen's CAI was specifically designed for the G35 Sedan.
Stillen is real close to Nissan and their engineering department.
6 - I believe this system will be as good as Injen's power wise.

OMG... you can't install an intake..where are you located, i'll do it for $100 haha.

 

I believe its Mac Stereo and Auto. Its in Walnut / West Covina area.

 

lol i could probly install an intake but i have no idea where to start and i don't have a jack or nothin and if i go buy the tools i need it will end up costing me like $200 any way lol

 

you don't need a jack bro, and only simple tools like screwdriver and maybe a rachet set.
