I just got the Nismo CAI. Now maybe I can beat 15.162 at Bandimere, guess we will find out on the 23rd.....

 

....15.162? as in your 1/4 mile time? What was your trap speed?

 

I am new to this 1/4 mile thing.... Is trap speed the your top speed??? If so then it was 91.94 MPH....... If not, then someone fill me in.

 

............. you are extremely new to this.. it's the MPH number right under the 1/4 number....

 

No, you're right.
It seems low, but you live in CO, so altitude plays a large difference in your E.T. and trap speed.

 

nice man

 

Nice man!!! You'll like it. Question: What made you go with the Nismo CAI?

 

Because I wanted the Nismo floormats so I needed a real Nismo part to justify getting them............ Just kidding. No real good reason for going with Nismo. I haven't heard anything bad about it, and Boulder Nissan had it in stock so I figured what the hell, why not......

 

Just curious... Notthing aganist it. I've offten wonder why Z owners pick a CAI over the PopCharger.

 

I was interested in a nismo CAI till I saw the price. lol I'd rather just have the upper and mount a JWT popcharger on it. Instead I put a Z-tube on, popcharger and ducted some air in from the front bumper. I still would rather have a nismo part though. lol Nice purchase.

 

I have setup my Injen intake both ways. It felt like I lost power with the CAI setup. With the Short Ram setup(same thing as JWT Popcharger, I felt a power gain and it sounds awesome. In addition, it is easier to clean. If I could do it over again I would have brought JWT Popcharger and saved about a $120 bucks. Sorry for the thread jack.

 

I just finished installing the CAI. It only took about an hour and a half. It was easier to install then my damn stereo system!! I don't know what difference it made in performance, I'm sure it did some thing, but it sounds FREAK'N awesome!!!!!!!!! Now I just need the exhaust....

 

Enjoy

 

Looks great! Can't wait to hear it at a meet sometime. For an exhaust (if you're looking for the Nismo), you should contact this guy:

Congrats!!! Have you had your car dynoed?

 

Not yet, but one of these days I'll get to it.

 

isn't there an issue with the car shutting off while driving b/c of the popcharger? that sounds like a pretty f'n good reason to me.

 

Great job Will!! You make me feel so dang unhelpfull! HeHe.
Lets go rip it around Evergreen and test it out.

Kevin,
Don't worry about it. I'm having fun learning how to get things installed with using the ol check book! I have a crazy few days, but maybe Saturday or Sunday we'll get you out of the house and have some fun with it!

 

Well I have had the Popcharge since Jan and no problems.
