Thank you Mr.kenchan, like Mr.onzedge, since I cannot drive my Z these days, shopping stuffs for the Z is the only way I can comfort myself, I am afraid I am getting the Z-noon-drivable Syndrome that its high season is Winter or Screwing Lock Failure.... LOL

In fact, I did the K&N drop-in too, but those threads about CAI recently just making me itch very badly!!!

I got a call this morning from my Nissan dealer telling me the part has arrived. I am waiting until Monday to take her in for the repair because Mondays are when the paintless dent guy is in and I am getting that annoying little dimple in my roof removed at the same time.

They also confirmed that the mechanism is Rev D.

Installed the Z1 Post MAF's and HKS drop in filters today. Then I took it for a test spin. My but dyno and VDC ingagement ratio dyno both tell me that it did provide some extra power. It increased the intake noise more than I thought too at high RPM. I figured since the stock box is retained that it would have no noise changes but the high flow filter along with the elimination of the flex pipes does provide a good volume increase. Great simple and inexpensive mod.

Why HPS over Z1? Just to be different?

Looks great man! Why did you choose Z1 over HPS?

Srenity · 01-31-2012, 10:43 PM

Just have had good experiences with Z1 and the price was right. I bought the pipes and an oil cooler kit at the same time.

Nah, they're not made by the same company as far as I know. Also others have stated that. The fitment on the Z1 post MAFs were better. Go figure. There's also Mishimoto, but I gotta be honest with you, I think they're all pretty much going to show eaual results.

kenchan · 01-31-2012, 10:05 PM

yah, i like the louder sound but not obnoxious like most cai's.

nice job!

Thanks, and yeah I agree that I like the sound. It's one of those good types of loud.
