If I were you, I'd rather stop and kill the engine put my hazard lights and call for a tow truck. Better save for a bigger headache and don't mind the people behind you, they can't do anything.

Thanks for the info. That just makes me too nervous to do that, maybe because I still only have about 900 miles on it. Any other suggestions?

But yea this instance happened while exiting a parking lot while it was pouring rain, once I hit the gated arm there was a deep dip as stated above, and the nose of the car went under, and engine immediately died. You act like you can foresee all circumstances and events. I for one didn't know water was going to be there until I visually saw it. Anyways go ahead and take your chances with Injen, they obviously make the shields for a reason. I suppose they've had this complaint before...hmm

I was in the EXACT same situation last week. There was water everywhere but not more than 2-3". Then I made a right turn and bam, I'm forced to drive through 6" of water. I couldn't avoid or make u turn as it's a busy street and cars are waiting behind me. Luckily I don't have Injens

. I drove through water like this

Well if it makes you feel better, we ordered coilovers before taking delivery of our shop Nismo, and long tube headers and AEM intakes were installed before we hit 500 miles

Which part are you nervous about? The bottle replacement or the bumper removal? All of the CAI units on the market will require some type of modification-

AEM- bottle relocation/replacement, metal ducting modification (Nismo model specific for guide modification). Bumper removal during install.
Injen- bottle replacement. Bumper removal during install
Stillen- Metal air guide modification (Nismo model). Bumper removal during install.

So unless you're willing to just invest in K&N/Mines/HKS drop in filter elements or even a short ram intake (which don't produce significant power gains compared to CAI), you're looking at some type of modification.

Actually I was in your same situation but it's very easy. However, you need another friend to hold the other side so that it doesn't come down hard on the floor. Other than that, it's very easy. Please follow Digitoniums DIY

DIY: Front Bumper Removal

I can take it off and put it back in less than 10 minutes!

Pelican170 · 08-26-2010, 01:26 PM

What about the Stillen kit for the 370? that doesnt look like it needs the washer fluid resevoir moved...

SE · 08-26-2010, 03:22 PM

The Stillen kit will not require the washer bottle to be relocated but you will need to trim your radiator support and the extra Nismo ducting on the bumper support.

IT will hit the bumper just a little bit. The injen and aem has some issues with the stillen bumper. The aem relocates the washer bottle to the middle.

^^ if that's true then my mistake. I happened to talk to Josh from Stillen during a meet and he only mentioned the metal air guide interference when I inquired about Nismo
model fitment.

I was contemplating on that particular intake and some others. I decided to go with the K&N typhoon kit because I never have to worry with this problem and I really didnt want to deal with taking my front bumper off to clean my airfilter's. Im sure it may get you five more hp'r or so but I didnt think it was worth the trouble or extra $$. The injen and K&N are the only ones that have the intake tubing that necks down which made me believe thats where they are picking up the extra power due to velocity. Injen will provide a cooler charge though im sure. Just a thought.

I noticed on Speedelements.com website that the Takeda short ram intake claims a 9 WHP gain. Thats pretty good for a short ram. Does anyone have any experience with this one? I was thinking that the cleaning of air filters on the injen would be a hastle to take the bumper off every time it needs cleaning...

Tim, I was just in my local dealer for service on my Nizmo and I noticed that they have a cold air intake for a regular 370Z. I asked the parts guy if they have one for a Nizmo and he told me that Nissan is working on putting one out for the Nizmo, due out sometime later this year from Nissan. His manager was looking for one for his Nizmo. Check out your local dealer.

hhhmmmm.. sounds like a lot of problems with water, or additional modding needed during install.

Anyone got a real recommendation for a Nismo Intake yet?

This will probably be my next mod, but I'm not looking for more trouble LOL
