Has anyone tried or is there another sub forum about the Nismo Intake? I'm pretty sure AEM makes it

Ok. So now I will have the following mods. Do I need a tune?

1. CAI Gen3
2. FI cbe
3. Will prob add rhfc

I have read both. No tune and tune. Not too many 'tuners' around here in Iowa.

no you wont, you can run full bolt ons without a tune, its just recommended to get a tune so you get the most power from those mods

So the engines' computer adjusts the air and gas correctly? With my motocycle, I can put on a slip on and run with a little pop when decelerating but if I change it to full I have to put a new fuel management system on it and adjust.

And by tune, everyone is referring to a dyno tune and adjustment?

"Tune" meaning you would have to buy a software license like UpRev, EcuTek, etc, each cost a few hundred bucks. Then go to a dyno with a person who knows how to use that software. With the bolt-ons you have listed it's not 100% needed but it would help. If you put headers on you should get a tune for sure.

I've got the Stillen Gen3's and will be adding the FI LTH's and exhaust this summer. Is there any recommended timing on how quickly after having everything installed you should get a tune? I know I need one from the many mentions of this throughout the site as well as your comment above but I didn't know how quickly a tune should take place after installation.

It doesn't have to be done the same day or anything, if you never get a tune it probably wouldn't hurt the car but I wouldn't recommend it. You wouldn't be getting the power you paid for or responsiveness that you get once they fine tune your air fuel ratio.

Awesome thanks! Yeah I figured those were the reasons but I thought I would check. Definitely want to get as much out of it as I can. It's gonna be an expensive summer

I would definitely wait until ALL your mods are done. If there is anything you may do or change out I would wait.

Yep! That's why I'll be doing it this summer once the FI LTH's and exhaust is on. Already have the a Stillen Gen 3's.

Hey everyone!
I just got my first Z (2013 Nismo in Magna Red). I'm looking for the best air intake for the Z. Would like to hear your thoughts? What you chose and why? I'm thinking the Stillen 3.
Thanks.

Budget + Ease of installation for decent gains: Cobb (or similar) smooth tubes plus K&N (or other high flow) panel filter.

Money to burn + unconcerned with periodic removing of the front bumper to get a few more ponies up top: Stillen Gen 3.

Un-heat shielded short rams, however, do not seem to perform as well, so those might be passed on unless you intend to construct airboxes for them.
