Default Any other Idea's?

I have a new nismo and just finished with a few mods. I installed Berks HFC's, a K&N typhoon kit, and finally a set of NST pulleys. Does anyone else have any ideas on some other mods besides a new CBE? My car is still under warranty so I dont want to go to extreme for now. Thanks for the help.

The CBE should not affect your warranty but not so sure about the pulley set.

if you add racing stripes to your Nismo, it'll increase about 20 horsepower :P

I know the intake is not the best you can buy but for the money and not having to pull the nose off the car to clean the filters sold me on the K&N set up. I liked the injen set up but didnt want to replace the washer reservoir.

Then how about a Y-pipe to gain a little power and noise?

I am thinking Berk HFC + Tanabe Y-pipe & K&N drop-ins myself.

Yea I was considering the tanabe Y-pipe. A different flywheel is a good thought. Who makes a good one?

I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about the G3 intakes and bumper removal. The K&N filters rarely ever need to be removed and cleaned which is evidenced by the fact that K&N recommends cleaning and oiling every 30,000-50,000 miles.

Thank you to those with the Y-pipe and flywheel info. For sure then im getting racing stripes, pretty bolts, and two thousand dollars worth of extra bolt-ons for an extra 15 horsepower! LOl!! I was just trying to find out what else they make for these cars. Nothing else.

our nismo's already come with an H pipe stock, so not only can you not replace it with a Y pipe w/o replacing the whole exhaust, but you'd also be downgrading. Upgrade to a larger diameter H or X pipe and you'll be set. Also maybe an uprev tune to help extract the most hp from your mods would also be good but that'll be pretty much warrantee voiding.

Yea I like the uprev tune idea. I was on there website earlier tonight. If you pull the tune out should we be ok as far as the warranty though. Thats what I have heard so far?
