Agreed......HFC. I personally feel that the Nismo exhaust is a tight setup...it just needs a little breathing room. Not crazy about the throttle lag, but the HFC might help that a bit. Shorter shifter might also be a possibility.

Throttle lag I am not 100% sure on to fix or lessen, you have lighter flywheels or better pulleys which will probably reduce throttle lag.

Yes, the Gen 3 can be installed onto the Nismo, but does require some slight modification to the air diffuser present in the longer nose of the Nismo. Customers haven't had any issues, but we haven't had a chance to do high speed testing or prolonged track time to see if modifying that would affect the cooling abilities of the air stream, so we do not advertise it's fitment.

It may never be an issue, but we choose not to push things that we haven't had a chance to test in different environments.

But like I said, quite a few guys are running the Gen 3's and very happy with the results.

How about the ARC boxes???.......Anyone?

On my nismo I got berks HFC, no cell lights and adds good hp, I installed the stillen G3 using the install others posted with no problem, the only difference in the nismo install is we have a plastic plate under where the filter cones are impeding airflow, I just cut it out with a dremel (you'll see what i mean if you do the install),.......I'm planning on adding the stillen/ or Gtm supercharger so if your planning that route just get the HFC and maybe exhaust (if you don't like the nismo) because the G3 won't work on a SC, cheers!

Good words Stiso. Thanks. ARC anyone??

TESTED ON NISMO:

Injen +13whp SP1990P / SP1990BLK - NO MODIFICATIONS FOR NISMO - **Less than $580** It's the only intake "Tuned" for the Nismo. Either Buy a non-tuned intake like JWT, Stillen, AEM, K&N & Buy a tune or Buy just the Injen Intake!

PPE Long tube race headers +23whp for $750 - Eliminates Cats, No need to add HFC or Test Pipes (otherwise it would be stillen $549+ berk hfc $500=$1049)

Eneos 0W50 + 10whp $11/qt


The rest of the stuff I listed is if he wanted to go further

None of which you have proven results from members, we all know vendors skew the results in their favor. It has been proven time and again that what they say and what you get are slightly different or completely different.
Also, what is this "tune" stuff you are talking about? Please, explain how the Injen are that much different or tuned specifically for the Nismo versus the coupe/roadster versions.

Also, the best bang for the buck is:
~HFC (Berk has the highest gains)
~Stillen Gen III
~Exhaust (Stillen has the highest gains followed by Fast Intentions & Berk)

you forgot the throttle body spacer and turbonator oh and aftermarket coil on plugs while your at it!

:gtfo2:

I dont even have a Z and I think your an idiot. But mind you I have been around Mustangs since I was born.

HFC's best bang for the buck

eh depends on how much your buck is and what you are trying to accomplish.

Tires typically are your best bang for your buck because they increase performance in every aspect accelerating, braking, cornering and so on.

Next I would say would be nitrous. Show me one other mod that for less than $1,000 dollars you can make 75-200 horsepower more. Granted you need to stay within the limits of your car there as far as how much nitrous you add

Never mind I just looked back at his post and saw he said N/A

Not quite sure why you're hellbent on getting ARC boxes. Nobody I know of (on these forums, at least) has bought them because they're crazy expensive. I'm sure you'll see some performance gains out of it, but is it really worth it over the better priced Injens or Stillen intake?

ARC International Inc. IN JAPAN�@�b�@SAVRA ƒTƒuƒ‰�@�b�@FAIRLADY-Z Z34 <-- pipe alone is ~$560...

And 370z370z...why does it seem like you're pulling out ricer math on us? Gains don't add up that easily...and just because it says Injen tuned on the pipe doesn't mean it's tuned specifically for the 370z, much less the NISMO 370z. If there's an Injen rep here that can prove otherwise, I'm ALL ears.

But you are talking 1000.00 for nice tires.

500.00 for HFC's and about 18RWHP, pretty good to me.

I agree Nitrous is fun cheap power, but he wants N/A like you said.

That's what brings me back to HFC's

very true which is why I said depends on how much your buck is and what your goals are. Plus if you factor in that tires give you performance across the board and not just in a straight line, then you might be able to argue the bang for your buck.
