Jotech told me the same thing. No go on the Gen III on a NISMO.

I am going to call first thing in the morning and verify which one was sent. I was clear that I had a 2013 Nismo.

What is the issue with part number 402852 Stillen Gen 3? I spoke with Stillen and they said it works fine with the Nismo. In fact it is listed on the Stillen site: STILLEN : STILLEN Generation 3 Ultra Long Tube Dual Intake Kit

I placed the grommet on top and put the bolt through it kind of like a big washer

I noticed there is a towing bolt.

Nice Solution!

But you DO need a donut for donut in case!

I also wonder if the Bose sub is mounted this way for the non-nismo 370zs as well.

good solution David. I will buy a grommet for mine as well. and also, I don't have a tool sitting in that empty spot ether on my 13. neither did my 09. always assumed it was for another model and didn't care.

If that's true. How come I have one installed on my Nismo? You have to do some extra cutting on a panel behind the bumper. Look in my journal for pictures.

DavidB123 · 09-12-2012, 02:48 PM

I contacted Stillen again and verified that the Generation 3 is 100% compatible with the Nismo. A little extra adaptation is required as reported in miltiple posts including a great DIY and by RUSTY.

Sorry if my original post was misleading, but I should have said that the Gen III will not fit the NISMO without modifications.

I wanted something that did not require any cutting. Hence the no go on the Gen III.

In my defense, some people consider a part where you have to cut or modify anything in order to install it as not fitting.

Check this thread out. No mods need to be done. These are the CAI's I am looking to buy.

NISMO R-TUNE Cold Air Intake (Long Tube)

they have the same thing available for the frontier and titan. apparently going by average those give a 12.5 whp gain according to the dyno chart posted. so I would assume its similar to that. just not happy I have to drill holes in stuff. they put the filters in the fender wells to avoid drilling. so now u have to drill something ELSE to relocate the washer fluid bottle. face palm.

The guys at Stillen say that the Gen 3 adds an average 22 HP for the Nismo!

Beautiful. There finally starting to make the Nismo worth that sticker price.
