correct me if i am wrong but i thought the Gs don't need a strut bar. Someone tried it a while back and they said that they feel and got no difference.
I would be interested in the plenum.

Speaking for myself, yes, I would be very interested in your product wether it is just the plenum alone or the plenum/strut bar package. IMO the combo package would be most beneficial. Keep up the good work and thanks goes out to all_bark and all others who had a hand in bringing this piece to the market.

I'm not saying either is doing a better or worse job... it's just a fact that you have to do some R&D to get these things to work no matter whose doing it.

I'm not even sure what you're talking about? Can you try to be more clear. Because it seems like your information is wrong.

I can base line my Stock (Engine wise) Z and then put on a production LSD Unique Plenum...
I'll use the local Dynojet in Huntington Beach...
I'll test in 4th (5AT - Stock Rear End)
And make no changes other than Plenum ! About March Time frame.
Still sorting out Fethering/Bounce issues
Cheers Amy

I think though we are going to seriosly explore the option of a G35 strut bar first, that will work with our plenum.

There are over 100,000 G35 owners out there without strut bars. Think about it.

That was the explanation as I understood it over a year ago.
Am I right? I dont know. Is Nissan lying? Shift_Maybe
PLEASE NO STRUT BAR... it all depends on price of course.... the strut bar will not help handeling...

1) This is the number of people who mod the G. Not the number of people who buy a plenum. Of the 1%, what percent mod with a plenum in their list? 10%? 100 people.
2) Of THAT %, how many like and want to buy the Crawford over the Kintetix, for whatever reason? 50%? 50 people.
Is it worth it?
Can Kinetix make more money buy changing the mold, risking short supply to the Z owners, thus losing revenue and possible loss to Crawford (or whatever is on the market at any given time)? I doubt it. You can't please everybody all the time.

Just because aftermarket parts are made for a Toyota Supra doesn't mean the same aftermarket parts should be available for a Toyota Avalon or Lexus ES300.
Of course I have an agenda and would like the efforts of Kinetix be put into the development of the FI version for the 350Z. I believe that endeavor would be more profitable than developing a plenum for the few G owners.
Who knows maybe they can do both??
