I just installed the HKS intake which i bought from a member of this forum. It was a pain in the behind to install it but I think it's all worth it. The throttle response is much better than stock and i love the sound.
Once again, thanks Dakine for dropping off the intake at my work place. I also got a new filter at www.4myride.com (extremely fast shipping).
It cost me 150 bucks total. $125 for the intake plus $25 for new filter.
HKS Hi power exhaust is next.
Here's the picture guy.

 

Good luck with the filtration with that thing.

 

Cool looking intake. But the location looks like a pain in the butt to remove and clean.

It's a pain in the **** to change the filter. But, eventually you'll be able to do it in about 20 mins. Also, that heat shield will rub against your hood; my bracing has a nice long groove in it from the heat shield sawing away at it (I dremeled it down since then). I liked its sound and look, and the fact that not many people have it. If I were to do it all over again I'd get an Apex'i Filter and a polished aluminum intake tube with Apex'i couplings.

 

Looks great! Are any of these intakes CARB legal yet?

I think the pop charger air filter is my choice. Seems like the stock intake tube is pretty straight already and I heard Nissan already spent alot of time getting the size and degree of the intake tube right. But never the less, looks great man.

 

I am interested in buying an HKS intake like. Anyone know where i can purchase one new? Not having any luck searching the web... thx

 

JWT is carb legal and you get a big gold sticker. Im not sure why i even put it on my filter since i live in jersey lol.

 

yea thats it

 

nice install how the heck did you get the heatshield in??!! lol

 

 

Hi Dekine,

I was able to do it after 2 hours of struggling. Right now, I m having problem with the car shut off after rev it to 4k rpm and put gear in neutral and engine stalls when I start it w/o stepping on the gas.
I suspect it's the MAF. Brought it to dealer and they are working on it. You have any idea? LOL

 

I had the same problem with my HKS intake. Have the dealer do an idle air lean reset.

 

Did you bring the car to dealer w/ HKS intake on? Idle air lean reset, is that the same as resetting ECU?

 

Yes & No

 

can you explain more?

 

i experienced the stalling problem twice and both times it occurred when i threw it in neutral getting off the freeway from 6th gear (at around 4k+rpm). it both happened within a few days i think, but not right after i installed it, probably like a week later.

sooooo all i did was unplug the negative terminal of the battery and replug it. after that, i never had the problem again for the several months i had it. i read somewhere here that replugging the negative terminal will adjust the ecu to minor modifications such as this one. did you try doing it?

hope that helps

 

not too many shops had them in stock when i shopped for it. i ordered mine from performance nissan and it took like 2 weeks for me to get it. but you can order it from any hks dealer.

these guys usually have a lot of stuff in stock: www.optionsauto.com

 

Update: I got my car back today. They replace ECU and throttle body. I have no idea how the throttle body (actuator) got damaged. Any idea?
