Hello, here's my Z: 08 base

 

Ooooooh! Hello. Beautiful Z you got there. Congrats!

Any plans for mods?

 

Nice Z! Congrats and welcome

 

thanks thanks =). i kind of want a pop charger, but some ppl seem to say that it's not much good for the later model years... need to save money for a V1 first though. i need to drive between houston (home) and durham (college).

 

pretty

 

its good mainly for sound and looks........HP gains are negligible. if you don't plan on opening the hood at shows all the time, the Stillen short ram offers nice sound for the money.

hmm, thanks! does it do more hp wise than a K&N drop in?

hmm... it costs more than the pop charger though. I think the main thing i'm worried about w/ the pop charger is heat soak (houston gets pretty hot in the summer). other than that, i do like how it looks..

 

Welcome and congratZ. How many miles has she done or is brand spanking new?

 

Looks good! Congrats and welcome.

 

heat soak is not an issue in a car, it's a ricer myth. in theory, yes, when the car is sitting still, it's taking in warmer air. but once you start moving, the air the intake gets is as fresh as it's going to get.

Nissan did a good job on the intake design already, not much power (if any) can be found. if i recall, some intakes on the HR actually lose power. like i said, it's pretty much a cosmetic mod and it sounds awesome when you floor it. K&N drop ins are a waste. they are cheaper than an intake, but you don't get the sound that you would with an intake.

good luck, feel free to PM me any questions. you can post them but a lot of people will just flame you and tell you to use search.
