Good luck out there. We just got back from 7 months.

 

Ill swing by just let me know what time then after we can head to my place for food and beer.

 

Any body have any experience with titek test pipes? Yay or nay. I have a feeling it doesn't really matter, just a straight through pipe, all pretty much the same I would imagine.

its up to you, its YOUR money and YOUR car................

 

Z-tube, k&n drop in, motordyne spacer, springs, shocks....that should take no more than 1000

 

im made plenty of friends from the Va Hampton G35 meet, and with knowledge comes wisdom, instead of just spending money id prefer some pointers from people whos been around the block.

 

Now what exacly are Z Tubes and what do they do. Its sad when i can tell you everything about my Navy Stike Attack Jet but not about my own car lol

 

Z-tubes are oem intakes off of the 350z. The stock g35 have a "air box" on the bottom of the tube the restricts air flow. The z-tube does not have it so air is pulled into the motor mobre freely.

 

Okay Understood, So i would assume power and sound would be a noticeable difference?

 

No....the vq motor do not make power with an intake...that the reason i said z-tube...they cost like 50 used. Why spend 100+ on an intake and loss or make no to little gain. One thing the vq motor runs hot, most after market intakes take in heat soak causing loss in hp....after intakes are really more of a show piece. The vq motor in not like k or b series motors. They mod differently, thats way tuners are far and few.

 

On that note, I've noticed that each evolution of the VQ has seen a substantial increase in heat output, to the point that a VHR VQ requires an external oil cooler for track days/hard driving. IMO, nissan needs to up their cooling system capacity/efficiency. In fact, VQ's have been known to be hard on oil as well according UOA, I'm sure the heat issue is related to that.

 

Dude, I don't understand the intake ordeal either. **** blows my mind. I can't fathom the fact that an intake will give you loss of power.
