just to make sure that there is no confusion, im not buying the intake for power. ive had 2 cars with short ram intakes and could tell no power diff what so ever. im buying purely for the sound and to give the engine bay a lil flare. as far as power goes im just being patient and waiting for a stillen bolt on supercharger which is warrantied by infiniti or a reasonably priced bolt on turbo kit. but that will probably be a while for both.
to be fair, yes they do, it can be tweaked and manipulated to show useless mods like intakes showing power...how many fujita dynos videos have we seen that show 10whp..i never bought it for a second, if intakes didn't do squat for the DE it's not going to do anything for the HR...i'm anticipating many disappointments when independant dynos of the injen intake come out...
cars especially ones with modern ecu's like ours need HFC, cams, and reflash to show any real gains...but people will always get suckered in by intakes, mufflers, and grounding kits...

I guess you didn't have any problems fitting the stock 18" rims with those big brakes the sport model has or did you have to use something else with these to get them to fit correctly? I'm going to "Willow Springs" this sunday and thinking of buying a set of 350z rims for track use.

I just picked up the 5 - spoke 18" rims w/original tires ($700) today in LA, CA. at 1:30pm and came straight back to Santa Barbara, CA. to get them ready for sunday at Willow Springs Race coarse . Me and a good friend painted them black at his work (auto Audio / Video installer) and installed them onto the car in about two hours. The black really makes this car have a more of mean look. Pictures will be posted by monday from the race coarse.
