RobD7 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Looking through my Nissan brochure I see I can buy one of these direct from Nissan, has anyone done this? or got one from elsewhere? Is it worth it re noise or is it a waste of time? Also, does any one know the cost? In the past I've only had induction kits so I'm presuming that is where I'll be pointed to but thought I'd just see first!? Thanks Quote

H5 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 If it is just t a replacement filter element for the standard airbox, don't expect noise or performance gains. People have tested their cars before and after with induction kits on and the results don't show much if any gain. And certainly not with a change of filter in the standard housing. Quote
bigphil Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 The K&N replacement panel filter is just as effecient as the Nismo Quote

M13KYF Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 K&N ones are near the £40 mark, BigPhil does them Quote
RobD7 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks guys, as I suspected, I'm best off going with an induction kit! Forgive me for being thick but I take it having an induction kit doesn't affect warranty? Quote
bigphil Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks guys, as I suspected, I'm best off going with an induction kit! Forgive me for being thick but I take it having an induction kit doesn't affect warranty? We have plenty of options on induction kits from :- JWT K&N Pipercross Nismo Etc Quote
RobD7 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 Which would you recommend Phil? I'm thinking of going with the general Nismo theme so that is the one which would interest me most. How much would that be? A nice sound is my top priority! Thanks Quote

RobD7 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 Ah thanks Phil, just so you know I've found the traders section now which should reduce the number of questions I'm asking!! Quote
GC350z Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Might seem a bit of a stupid question but as Rob is getting a white MY08 it'll have two intakes so what's the deal with prices and kit options? It is a white MY08 isn't it Rib? Guy Quote
martinmac Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Ah thanks Phil, just so you know I've found the traders section now which should reduce the number of questions I'm asking!! Think as a general rule bud, anything from Nissan will be a hell of a lot more expensive than the traders. Off hand cant think of any exceptions. As for the warranty situation it depends very much on which dealer you use. Mine doesnt mind but if I blow an engine up they may Quote
Lexx Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Not all that many dual intakes ont he market yet though Stillen, JWT, AEM and Nismo all do one. Think Phil has some Nismo sets coming in soon. Quote
RobD7 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 It is an 08 Guy and thanks for bringing this up as I wouldn't of had a clue! Looks like I'll need to be careful what I get although if Nismo ones are due soon then am sure they'll be out before May so should be good... Quote
RobD7 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 And re the dealer, they seem quite young and decent so would imagine they'll be cool! Although like you say Martin, they'll probably change their stance if something went wrong!! Quote

Looks like I'll need to be careful what I get although if Nismo ones are due soon then am sure they'll be out before May so should be good... yeah, be carefull with ANY mods you buy! the mY07 model is a fair bit different. some mods to check fit your car are Any lip spoiler! - despite what th emnufactier says! the Cwest carbon dont fit despite what they say! ANY strut brace - not found one that fits yet!) ANY induction kits - 02-05 cars ar single intake - later are dual intake Stereo facia's - changed again in the 07. The orange relflectors in the fornt bumper. agian changed in the 06 model Quote
GC350z Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 yea but she shoulds so much better that the older Z. I love the sound off the transmission. Quote
RobD7 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 This is all intersting stuff I'm hearing, thanks. I will bare this in mind as could do without wrong purchases! Quote
bigphil Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 dual intakes from Nismo, JWT and Stillen in this week. Front reflectors normally in stock. Carbon front lip for section under central opening on front bumper in stock. All of the above for the new model. Quote
