That would help! But it's for 2006 and older Z. Not for 07 at least not showing for 07 on web site. Thanks for trying!

Nismo's also have adjustment to them!

This type of intake has been around since the early 90's late 80's.It's a proven design (IE GT40 Intakes)! With some of the best bench flow #'s of the intakes of the day. Has very good bench flow #'s with a blower,super charger as well! An air pump is an air pump 6 or 8 cylinder.

You are correct sir, refer to answer above.

Refer to answer above! It's proven just not on a z, untill 4 hrs ago, if you were in the car for the test run. You would say it's a good mod and was worth my time also!

Anyone can call themselfs a super moderator! Do your job and put the paris car in the regular Z area, still haven't seen a part on that car thats 07-08 NISMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I am, maybe you'll be my first customer?




I also purchased Stillen gen3 intakes, and stillen under drive pully with a Cobb tuner. OBX long tube headers and Tuning pro racing y pipe. Will finish with a custom exhaust with a husspower flow master muffler and single out let for weight reduction. Haven't gotten around to putting those parts on, been to involved with getting this intake to work. Maybe next year!

Still looks retarded, maybe cut some vents in your hood to show them off and allow them to fit. LOL

again props for taking the plung...most people on here this is there first car platform...so only what has been done to the car is repeated ahgabillion times...

I removed the muffler on the mid-pipe and some of these idiots damn near caught a heart attack...

cars are still cars...

I'm very interested on the install of the longtube...

if that manifold doesn't get fab'd to fit...scrap it seeing the Stillen long intakes are more than enough.

like you say!

Rock & Roll!

Using oval tubing to make the plenums and slanting it downward from the rear would enable you to keep the volume and make it fit. Just my $.02

If I posted up the exhaust setup on my car now, i'd probably be banned

OP, i'd be glad to help if I can, I've done pretty extensive fabrication/machining work in the past and could offer suggestions on fitment and design.

Finally found a shop that would fab intake. Also will let this guy do my exhaust. Saw his work on a turbo charged corvette and supercharged mustang very nice!

He suggested the easiest way was to notch it like King Baby suggested. And it will work, problem is won't beable to get back on it till first of next year! Work and all, got to pay for all these parts some way.

Good news it never turned on the cel, drove around town for 40+ mi.

Once i get all these parts put on the car, will down load a tune and then go to cobb tuning in plano tx. to dyno tune it!

Maybe I can talk cobb into posting a video of dyno session.

More pictures when available, thanks for some of your suggestion!!!!!

Ok so I'm glad to see it bolted on. Can I / we get some info on this thing? Are all the runners the same length as the OE manifold? Are they wider/thicker in diameter? Is the inside of the collector/inlet all square inside or is it rounded? I'm not sure, but to me the square sharp corners inside of the thing would create air turbulance, more than say a rounded design. I'm seriously interested to see this thing make it to any kind of production, especially if it yields gains. Some numbers on a flowbench would also be great.

Also this may not have any effect on anything but if there would be a way to maybe incorporate some fins running the length of the square part of the manifold, (what I formally called the collector/inlet) to act as a bit of a heat sync. Probobly wouldn't yield much temp difference without a vented hood, but it might be worth a shot.


Keep us posted. I want one in anno'd to match the nismo wheels if they show any gains.

Default Your kidding me

That is one of the most half-assed assemblies I have ever seen. The welds don't even go all the way around the pipe. I can't believe anyone would seriously consider bolting that piece of crap on a NISMO. I hope this is a joke.

Again, with no dyno sheets, you cant be so sure.

FYI, you wasted your money on those underdrive pulleys....
