I've been looking for intakes for my 2011 G, but often find most parts only go up to 2010. I've read on several threads that the 2010 and 2011 parts fit the same, but what about 08-09 parts? Do they fit too?

It doesn't seem like there were many changes to the engine since the 3.7L was introduced, but I could be way off. So what's the deal? Are the engine specs the same from 08-11 since they have pretty much the same engine??

I'd like the advice of people who own Gs instead of the punk kid at the shop trying to make a sale...

 

That punk kid is right. Lol
All intakes are the same as long as it's for the 3.7

 

haha...damn kid was right, huh...he didn't even look old enough to drive! lol

So does that go for other engine parts as well?

 

All engine/exhaust (minus muffler), brake/suspension parts from 07+ sedans and 08+ coupes/verts are compatible between each other. All parts for 2007-11 sedans are compatible, the VQ35HR and VQ37 motors.

Headers and high flow cats are compatible with 06-11 Nissan Z's, 07+ G Sedans and 08+ G Coupes/Verts

Edit: X's (AWD) suspension and mufflers are not compatible with RWD models.

 

Wow...thanks! That's helpful as hell!

The description for the intake I was looking at says it's for on 08 coupe...so that should fit the 11 sedan, right? (i know, dumbarse question but I don't want to drive 50 miles and be dissapointed)...

Anyone here of Fujita intakes?

 

Yeah, they will fit no problems.

Stay away from Fujita's, all they do is suck in a ton of hot engine heat.

Stick with Stillen 3G or Injen CAI intakes.

 

Sweet...thanks for all the info...I was looking into the injen specifically a short ram...or would all short rams suck in the engine heat?

 

short rams stink.. if you want injen you can get the injen long tube intakes..

 

If you want short ram, R2c is the best. As for longtube intakes, Stillen Gen 3.

 

I didn't know this. So the Tanabe muffler for the sedan wouldn't work on a G37x sedan?

 

Thanks for the info...there is way too much information in this entire site..almost overloaded, but it's addicting! lol..

One question for anyone that's installed their intakes...ordered the injen long tube and noticed the install instructions said to disconnect the battery...

Is this so that the ECU is reset and I have to go through the "learning" stage again? or is it to make sure the MAF sensor isn't damaged?

I've done intake installs in my past cars/trucks but I don't recall ever disconnecting the battery..I'd hate to reset the ECU b/c it's really begun to "adapt/learn" my driving style..

 

No need to disconnect the battery. Just make sure you unplug the maf sensors with the car complete off, and swap them when you have the tubes OFF the car.

 

Thanks brotha...I really appreciate the help. I get a little scared to touch anything on this car b/c it seems so darn technologically advanced. buying a car in 2011 vs 2006 and below is such a different experience!

 

Any time... you'll find yourself getting more familiar with the car very quick, it's nothing complicated, just a bunch of plastics. I'm looking forward to the next generation

 

That's the problem...I've read rumblings on this site about 2012 being the year since we are at the end of the refresh...I already know I'll be in a bad place trying to keep myself from getting the next generation G when it comes out! lol...
