So I had my brother's car for a day and finally installed his Christmas gift I got him, the Nismo CAI.

There were a few minor fitment issues, but it fit pretty dead on. I couldn't use the heat shields that were provided with the kit. There was basically no room and I was a little pissed off already from my manager at work. I'll probably figure that one out another day for now. It took probably an hour and a half since I was trying to make sure nothing went wrong when I was taking out the sensors to switch them over. It gave the car a deeper growl, but I'm not sure about anything power-wise. well here are the pics and videos for those who want to know how it sounds.

Nismo

 

sounds mean.... nismo makes a cai for g37? i might be outta the loop but i think you're the first person on the boards to have it? correct me if i'm wrong... how much did it run you for?

 

No, it was from the 350z set up. I remember there was a dispute on this site or somewhere else saying the Nismo 350z Dual CAI will not fit, but it does fit. Just some minor tweaks and I covered up some of the a/c lines so nothing won't happen to them. Cobbtuning has done this Nismo intake as well I think. Since I work at Nissan, it was around $300. Still steep, but still can get some type of discount on them.

 

Looks great.. Nice Job!

 

Good stuff, +1 for a new approach with the intake, I want to know the power gains/losses

 

looking good!

 

Nice Job! Cobb Tuning also blogged about losing power with those and a few other brands.

Thanks. I haven't had a chance to do the ecu reset yet. For some reason, I can't do it after I read it how to do it by not disconnecting the battery. Hopefully get to successfuly do that and get to see any gains/losses after that.

 

wow looks great!!! any drive by vids?

also when do you feel the growl kicking in at what rpms?
