What you have is a prototype, and is not approved yet. Nissan, or whatever division thereof, is being sold the kit to do as they please with it. They could never release this project for all we know. It is not supposed to be public knowledge what company makes what parts for the performance divisions of manufactures. The OE department and AEM are two divisions of a larger organization, so their intake kits are usually very different from each other. Please keep the information, which you have obtained by loaning us your vehicle, to yourself. Please, do not post any more."

Too bad I did not sign a non-disclosure contract of any kind. =P
OoOOOo You in trouble LOL..

Only the sprint cup series... I believe on road races Nascar's Nationwide series does run in the rain, as I have seen the tires they used before... same as with Indycars... obviously they aren't going to run in the rain on 200 mph+ oval tracks.

It's been so many years that I check up what company hooked up with what. So...who's AEM and K&N's parent company?

It's not like it looks all that impressive anyway... I doubt it yields the gains that the G3's do.

That is a good question and I've been trying to find that out myself.

I predict Nissan will claim 5 HP gain and not 5 whp. Still looks like a fun future install.

Had I signed a non-disclosure contract I would be, but they didn't tell me to keep it on the down low until now so it's really their fault. ;-)

K&N owns AEM, not sure if anyone owns K&N.

It's definitely more quiet compared to the SRI I used to have but that's to be expected. Still makes a good rumble after 3000 RPM tho.

Was there any cutting involved for the install?

I'm sure the gains will be around 10whp or so.

murphman 09-02-2011 02:57 PM
I'm thinking if you already have a good exhaust the gains from this intake should not be to far off from gen3 or the reg AEM intake, cant say the same for the price though.

Armonster 09-02-2011 03:45 PM
Lol I love how you even posted their plea for you to stop posting about it.

tony from Motordyne has stated a couple times that after he finishes up his new exhaust, he's going to turn his attention to making an intake for us. if this pans out, I am def going to wait before dropping any significant $$ on a CAI until he finishes his.

So basically it's a K&N developed Injen-style CAI with a Nismo sticker.

Well, a freebee is a freebee.

Keep us posted on how it performs if they'll let you... good luck!

No cutting involved, just the removal of a shroud and the air ducts and replacing the location of the windshield washer fluid reservoir tank.

More like K&N developed an AEM-style intake with a Nismo sticker... If you all looked a little closer though you will notice that the placement of the MAF sensor (closer to OEM) is different from either a AEM or Injen CAI.

I do know they specifically requested a Nismo Z for this development process... why it would make a difference I have no idea.
