Imperial · 08-23-2011, 10:29 PM

Coming soon to a dealer near you! (Sorry for the fuzzy iPhone pic)

seungklee · 08-23-2011, 10:41 PM

what are the gains? does it fit on regular Z's? how much?

azn370z · 08-23-2011, 10:42 PM

I like it but not the foam piece.
How about some info?

The foam piece is something you want. In the event of water being taken in the main filter, air is drawn from these filters instead to prevent hydro-lock. Ask anyone with injen intakes in a damp climate. They will ask for these lol

I know, but I read this also allows hot engine air to be sucked in.
And this is the reason you don't see anyone using the foam piece.

Info:

Made by K&N; Foam piece is to comply with OE specifications required by Nissan; Gains?... no clue; How much?... free for me as the guinea pig ;-)

That's all I know.

Understandable, but which is more important? a few degrees higher IAT or your engine having a slurpiee??

Alrighty meow!

isn't this just an AEM or something with the Nismo logo on it? I thought I read that somewhere?

frostyrock7c · 08-23-2011, 11:06 PM

Looks good

FL 4Motion · 08-24-2011, 02:07 AM

dammit, I feel drawn toward these cause they'll go nicely with my car. Must resist and hold out for upcoming options...

Yes and no. AEM was part of the development but they still needed to make sure it complied with strict OE specifications. Apparently this has been in the works for a while Nissan just hasn't jumped the gun on it until now.

ohhhhhhhhh finally, subscribed!

somatic · 08-24-2011, 09:06 AM

so, itll be an overpriced cross between an AEM & K&N ? please report the gains as soon as you get them.
