Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Please help- Intake and hot temps

corbin09 · 08-20-2011, 12:29 PM

Hello All-

I need some advice with my car. I have a 2009 370z with test pipes, exhaust, takeda intake.
I am not an expert but i understand cars so please dont bash.

One of the black plastic canisters that attaches to my intake broke the other day. I simply put a breather filter on the motor on both sides, and plugged the intakes so that it was not getting a vacuum leak.

The other day I was driving on the Highway and realized that I had oil temps around 230-240f. This was in no traffic and every day driving. I am in Texas however, so it is 105 degrees out.

I went to Nissan, and they told me I had to get the whole oem intake at 499.00 to get the little black canister. This is on the drivers side intake by the way. That was the reason for the fix I did.

My question is:
how can I fix this without buying that 500 piece?

Are breather filters okay?

Is this probably what is causing my heating issues?

Please give me some advice guys!
