Nismo air filter...

[Kuro]

Hi all

 

Just wondered if anyone had one? Any gains? And how much'dya pay!

 

Looking to make some small improvements to the Zed that's all

One of these?

[Guest prescience]

Other options you might want to consider are:

 

Injen

K&N Typhoon

PopCharger

 

Eddmac has a NISMO on a JDM and IIRC there are fitment issues on UK spec cars to do with the headlight washer

I think he means the S-Tune....

 

 

I used to have the S-Tune, didnt feel any noticeable gain, in anything, power or noise.....

 

 

 

now have a full Cold Air Induction Kit (K&N Typhoon) and it definitely has more of an impact than the S-Tune

 

 

PS moved to performance

OK noted.

 

The above links might be of use one day

Dorian, theres no MAF on that pic you posted?????

 

 

 

Nismo Type 2 has a bypass valve that eliminates the risk of hydrolock.

 

It makes the engine sound more butch and helps the car rev faster

 

I'm VERY happy with mine

 

I would recommend NOT fitting anything without a bypass valve that is piped low down - Just ask spill about his Injen and hydrolock

Hi Guys, just joined the site and 350Z ownership.

 

Dont want to go down the induction kit, but is the S-Tune panel filter any good/worthwhile?

 

Any other little tips/hints?

 

Thanks.

for £50 tbh there's no difference in either noise or HP, as a few dyno sessions proved (apart from a duff one, imo, where it gave +9hp which is dreamland lol)

 

easy to fit though, about 5 seconds

[Space Cadet]

Thanks, probably wont bother then.

Take the money you were *going* to spend, put it in a pot.

 

Everytime you think of buying something similar, do the same.

 

Then, when that pot hits the £4K mark, buy a supercharger.

 

And you're looking at 100bhp there and then.

i was reading on one of the american 350z forums that those pop chargers sometimes caused stalling when driving, like one guy stalled when he was at like 100 changing from 4th to 5th why do u think that is? and would it be the same over here likely?

[Guest prescience]

mostly stalls are due to the MAF maxing out (i.e exceeding 4.9V) - but not sure why in this case; dirty MAF?

 

Any ancilliary symptoms - did a reset clear the problem

panel filter is a good upgrade...take the stocker out and look..

Thanks.

 

Hummmm.... might give it a go, don’t suppose Nismo would bother making one if it didn’t do any good!?

 

Anyway, on a separate note what’s the difference between S-Tune and R-Tune, for instance the panel filter is S-Tune but the brake pads on the link from toykilla are R-Tune??

depends on what you mean with good upgrade mate.... I didn't feel, hear, or dyno any difference with a S-Tune filter

Ok it's definitely thinner/allows for more air through, but still

[Alex]

prescience - not entirely sure if they reset, it did not say. but you think that would make a difference resetting?

I also read that they stall in the US since they put the car in neutral while going (for some strange reason) and some sort of safety fuel cutoff system kicks in shutting the car down.....

I have a JWT pop-charger and although it looks good, there seems to be negligable gains in performance - 12bhp claimed, but even that is not much on top of 276. I would say overall only buy it for the looks

[Removed]

and sound possibly, but not the S-Tune filter since it doesnt produce any lol

[Guest prescience]

Any difference in sound - heard before (excuse the pun) that that's what people liked
