Remove the front bumper to clean filters

You're welcome

. I am glad I could post it for you guys so that you can get useful information before tackling this install.

I am updating this info: I should mention here that for 2013 models, there are electrical wiring that's attached to front bumper. Please use extreme caution when you take it off. If anyone with 2013 Z takes off their front bumper, please send me some pics so that I can update it. (thank you xTETOVABOYx)

AK, great thread and pics. Makes installing this thing look possible to even the most amateur of enthusiasts

Few questions...

I've read elsewhere (links below) that following installation of this Stillen G3 system, a tune (preferably uprev) is essential as the air / fuel ratios are wayyy out of whack. Thoughts?

Intake, Header, HFC, CBE = Too Lean?

Also, if you've added/adding an aftermarket CBE and/or HFCs (such as FI), the power benefits of this CAI are somewhat minimal if any...

Intake, Header, HFC, CBE = Too Lean?

Perhaps drop-ins are the way to go for those who have aftermarket CBEs / HFCs??

Thanks man, that was my main concern if the Gen 3 fit the 13 model year. Cause not even in the stillen page is it updated for the 13 model. Quick question, do the wires for the LEDs unplug or do you have to take the whole LEDs apart from the bumper?

songbong · 01-12-2013, 05:01 PM

awesomeawesomeawesome i cant wait to get the stillen g3s now

xxAGAVExx · 01-13-2013, 03:55 PM

Thanks AK, just installed them this weekend. Never would have tried it without your DIY.

they unplug, really simple

Refer to picture one. The plug is right under the reservoir on the passenger side, Refer to picture 3 for drivers side. the plug is right on the led as you can see it from a top view

Kabestro · 01-26-2013, 09:32 PM

Got mine, this thing is amazing

Kabestro · 01-26-2013, 09:37 PM

Here are two more photos of the LEDS to compliment xTETOVABOYx pics. Thanks for the DIY.

I noticed one post mentioned the CEL light came on. Shortly after my install I had the service engine soon light on... throwing code P0300... reset the and checked the MAFs and clamps... all good. The SES light came right back on. Anyone else have this issue?

Gibby1113 · 02-02-2013, 12:58 PM

I was noticing on the stillen website that the GIII's that are made for the G37 come with some sort of splash gaurds for the filters. I was wondering if the GII's for our Z's have it as well? Only reason I am asking is because the stillen website does not mention it coming with the intakes, I haven't seen anyone installing them on their Z's, and I thought the parts for the G37 and 370Z were interchangeable for the most part. I really want these but idk if I should due to the fact that water can get them. The gains are ridiculous and it just looks awesome when you open up the hood IMO. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
