no, I wasn't insinuating that at all. I have multiple times thought of doing the PMT's with the drop ins. Part of me REALLY wants to buy the R2C intakes, and even though it got equal power gains on a G37, there is not dyno info on them with our cars and as i've said IMO the 37's just much more open in the front end which is why it would get more air.

Who has had any issues or detontation running the G3's with no tune? How long have most of you guys been riding your Z's with G3's and no tune? |

I drove mine without a tune for a couple of weeks. The first pull on the dyno, both my tuner (Seb at SpecialtyZ) and I could hear/feel some detonation especially when looking at the A/F and power curves. I feel that everyone should get a tune after installing G3s, but I did it because I wanted to have 100% confidence in my car and having the chance of losing an engine over a couple hundred dollar tune seemed a bit silly. I also gained at peak 5whp/14ftlbs after the tune, but I gained so much more under the curve especially with torque.

Get a tune, but wait to get all your bolt ons otherwise you'll have to get a retune. 310whp seems a little low but its probably a lower reading dynojet.

I'm pretty sure some aftermarket exhaust give more gains than the Nismo exhaust, and they sound better to. Up to you whether its worth it to spend the extra money on an aftermarket one.

I'd take it off and sell it for an F.I. or wait for Motordynes new exhaust... it shouldn't be to much longer. I guess he has one that will fit the Nismo?

I have the FI 18" + Berk HFCs + Motordyne M370 combo, now thanks to B1ades , I am keeping my eyes opened for the Stillen G3. Per B1ades, you wouldn't hear the G3 over the exhaust from inside but you do hear the air being sucked in from outside the car.
You mentioned something about loudness, you can always start with the Nissan exhaust, then get the berks, then G3 and go from there. This is close to what you should expect with the FI exhaust, Berks + Stillen G3

Did you do all of your mods at once or did you add the M370 later? If so, how did it feel? |

Get both, the pulleys are cheap. I thoroughly went through all the reviews about the pulleys, the people who had issues with them kept coming back to bad installs. As soon as the pulleys were installed, the throttle response improved and the car felt preppier.
The M370 gave a deeper sound to the engine and serious torque & power in the midrange. I did the mods serially. The car sounds amazing and pulls hard (I easily spin the tires even with VDC on).
