Hey all, this is my first newb post and I'm a proud convert to the 350z world having had a built up 01 Honda Prelude before.

The car I bought is a 2004 Grand Touring edition & has been tastefully customized and has a K&N air charger and a full stainless Stillen dual exhaust. The dealership I bought it from was thankfully clueless to the mods it had done so they don't know anything.

I'm curious how to tell if there has been a plenum spacer installed? The stock front strut bar is installed. Whomever owned it before me seems to have known what they were doing with modifying it and I have a sneaking suspicion that they may have done the plenum upgrade.

Any help is greatly appreciated! This site has been a great resource btw!

 

You can see the spacer if it is installed. it would be a 3/8 in. metal rim between the plenum and the block.

 

thread is worthless without pics!!

Take a pic of your plenum and post it here. We will tell you.

 

this is a fail thread.

fail.

 

^well not really haha but we do need pics

 

Pic fail!

 

u would see the spacer between the upper and lower intake manifold..if there is nothing there then there is no spacer, also there would be spacers on the strut bar mounts to raise it

 

^ i don't see any pics...

 

me neither, a whole bunch of x's.

 

They might be too big, let me resize and try again.

 

Here's a link to a gallery of the pics.

A little less fail in this thread, just ever so slightly.

 

dude, not to be mean but get rid of those rims please!

 

Welcome and congratulations.

 

My bad. Spacer is clearly visible here.

 

I like them. Guess that's why it's my car and not yours.

 

PIC DSFC1857.JPG CLEARLY shows a plenum spacer...notice at the bolt you can see the notched spacer thats inbetween the plenum..

the bolts are basic zinc coated Metric bolts as well with a washer under the head.........nissan oem is green iirc...

yey for you..

Thanks for the help guys!

Since I live in Calgary and it gets hella cold in Jan-Feb, will this cause any issues with cold starts?
