Hey guys im getting a G35 sedan soon; just wondering what intake has the best gains?
GZire said:Injen is OK. It's just that with the VQ in the tune it is for the G's you don't really squeeze a lot more power out of it.
As it is the 05 engines have a revised lower plenum (intake manifold) and exhaust valve timing. However I think the single biggest change is that the rpm limiter is raised and that's where the 05's get their peak power. Keep in mind that this is all with the 05's actually making less torque than the 04/03 cars.
The Z tube is the air intake tube off of a 350Z which has the same engine as your sedan and my coupe. The Z tube doesn't have the resonators that the G does, so the sound will be a bit more aggressive and at $75 it's much cheaper than anything else out there. The Injen might (and I stress might) get you a couple of hp more at the crank, but nothing worth the extra $$$.
Now if you are going forced induction this is another story and you'll want to change your intake and exhaust systems.
Yeah the sedan side has always been a bit dead here, but the people are better as a whole than any other G site. For more technical information, I'd suggest G35Driver.com and MY350Z.com (Z forum is the best out there for technical). Fresh Alloy really isn't too good, but G35FRENZY.com has some pretty good information just not too much traffic.

I have the cast Crawford plenum(the most recent version); will my new 2005 sedan 6spd benefit from my Injen c/a intake, Crawford plenum, and Borla duel exhaust. I also have the Unorhtodox crank pulley and waterpump pulley are they also worth the install. I'm taking all those mods off my '03 and wonder if I should use them or sell them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

FYI, when I bought mine off of a Z owner, I paid $40 shipped. If you are patient, you should be able to get that price or better.Lrpba300 said:Thanks GGGVenon, I'll have to look elswhere..
