R2C Intake Install
 

It seriously sounds different at about 4K RPMs and up depending on the throttle and, to a lesser extent, the gear. Love it :yum:

I took some videos on my iPhone, but don't time to edit/post. Will try to this week sometime.

Looking good JAR! :tup: Has the wife driven with it yet?

Feel? Not really... but I wouldn't expect to notice a difference of 10 whp in this car. Sound? Absolutely, and I love it :tup:


I showed her how different it sounded on the way to drop her off, but she hasn't driven it for herself, yet. I don't think she romps on it enough that she'll really notice a difference that often.

Very nice JAR. How does it sound "different"? Is it obvious?

JARblue, :tup: on the intake, I like the design of the heatshield, I think it's better than the K&N one.

Easy to install??

JAR- :tup:

Mr. Jar,

Your new intakes are mighty nice looking. Just when I thought I was done, they pull me back in. Time to start looking at these seriously. Please let us know how they behave themselves.

You are first on my list or reps, once I get some new ones.

Mr.onzedge, you haven't mod the intake? I always thought you had.. :tiphat:

i use to have the R2C on my car. :)

Onzedge, don't you have the GenII intakes? Are you not pleased with them?

Just ordered my 15mm H&R spacers! I already have 20mm for the rears (thanks Gurney) so now it's just a matter of putting all the pieces together! :woot:

Oh yah, I remember you said they were too loud. Too loud how, please expand. :tup:

sounds good, mr.happy. :tup:

i already did, please search. lol :bowrofl:

Yes, I have the Gen II and I like them very much, except that the filters are hidden and it takes a bit of dis-assembly to even look at their condition.

Oh you son of a.....I'm sure I'm now officially on the ignore list! :bowrofl:

Mr.kenchan.... you did it (flame someone) again... :bowrofl:


mmm..... with the filters all covered.... all the nice breathing sound will be isolated.... :ugh2:

Much smoother. A little deeper and gets more and more aggressive as you push through the power band. I took some crappy iPhone before and after clips, so hopefully I can get those edited/posted in the next week or two. Not the best quality but at least its decent comparison in 1st and 2nd gears.

Quite easy, although I did have some hood fitment issues at first. R2C Intake Installed

Thank you, sir. Perhaps you could comment on my hood fitment issues (see link above) :tup:

:tiphat:

I love the finish! And they aren't behaving themselves at all! But that's cause I'm forcing them to be naughty! :rofl2: :driving: wow... that sounded pretty bad but it was in a good way haha

Not true. It sounds amaing, actually. It was the second mod I did (after the oil cooler and before the cat-back). At high RPM, the Gen 2 screams like a re-headed step child when beaten.

Note to moderators: this last comment is metaphorical only. In no way do I advocate or condone this type of behavior.

Mr.onzedge, you know Ms.Pintsize725 always curious about do you want a stepchild... right??? :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

wat wat? i cant hear juuu! :icon18:

nono, jk. the R2C's were nice, i like the response. the IAT's weren't that much higher than stock, which is like 12-15F above ambient in normal driving condition (while in motion). this shows that the R2C's heatsheilds are effective. i am not sure how much more the metal piping adds to the temp post maf, but it gets pretty damn hot if touched after a drive. the post-MAF silicon tubes, not hot at all.

the gushing noise the filter makes and the overall loudness at 5K+ was just too much excitement for me. i like the tamer sound of the stock intake so landed with the post-MAF tubes (keeps temps lower with silicon..) and K&N drop-ins. i like the current setup for my flavor, but i suppose if you're into faster responding throttle + louder :yum: looking intakes, the R2C's can net you wat you want.

the people at R2C is real nice too. :tup:

JAR- there is no fitment issue on the R2C. make sure your bracket is turned the correct way. :) the instruction wasn't very clear but it has to be oriented a certain way to mount correctly. let me check if i still have picts somewhere...

Say what?!:rofl2:

hummmm, JAR- looks like i look those picts when i had my old bb. i cant seem to find it anywhere. :(

Hi guys. Just got back from Pa. I will post a couple pics here. Had a good weekend minus the East Coast Z Nationals judging and awards. It seams that 4 clubs organize this event within the Imports and Kit cars at Carlisle. This year you payed $10 and only got one vote for "people's choice". They only had one trophy for each gen. of Z's. They figured out that most people will just vote for their own so 3 of the organizers voted on the cars. There was no splitting of stock and modded. Anyways there where 2 260's one with a hand made daytona body and another a full compitition road race car. They gave the award to a guy that bought an award winning stock Fairlady. For 300zx's they picked one that was trailered cause the turbo was junk and didn't even have matching rims. Oh did I say that they where both members of the organizing body for the show? I was like WTH. Just a note here guys if you or your club holds a show DON'T allow your clubs cars to be judged. I'll post a couple pics in a minute, uploading from my camera. Oh no I didn't win and think a guy with a stock black Nismo did. Not sure.

Thanks for the info. :tup: Seriously!

I know how to search..., and so the story of my endeavor:

I did some digging and searching and found that you have never created a thread in the intake section (:mad:), so then I had to look through all of your posts for the word "intake" (because searching for "r2c" netted nothing - :facepalm:) and then finally I was able to find some stuff on some "what's the best intake" or something similar thread.... Those twenty minutes I will never get back. :shakes head:

OK here are a couple pics, two of my car downtown during a block party after the show Fri. The full compitition 260Z. And the 2005 LeMans winning prototype also at the block party. Oh and the new R8 that only costs $175,000 and the car that I believe won for 370's at the show.

Happy don't worry you will see the magarita again LOL

Good stuff. :tup:

I was a very nice weekend. The weather was perfect. The guys with the Audi's where very kewl and we joked around all weekend.

Hello all :hello:

had a nice Sunday. Met up with my fellow 370z guys in Chicago and we had meet in a parking garage. While in there we set off a couple alarms...oops. :roflpuke2:

3 Fast Intentions exhaust and a motordyne exhaust can do that.

It was about 90 all day today so very hot. The Z got to 220 oil temps just going 70 on highway...:eekdance:

Oil cooler is in my future.


Now we are suppose to get hail and severe thunderstorms....so all the toys are away. :icon17:

Sounds like a nice impromptu get together. :tup: Oh and : :worthless:

Oh and BTW I'm taking donations to buy the R8 I only need about $125,000 I know you guys can come up with the coin for me :ughdance:

hi fire- welcome back! yah, those car shows are really tricky at times. thus i dont participate in them. lol i snaps shots at times when i have time and stop by to check out local's cars. :tup:

yah, the search engine sucks at times. but hey, you wasted my 2-3mins typing so :tup: for you. hahaha

:iagree: nice picts, fire. :tup:

Thanks ya. How much are you giving to the Buy Fire an R8 fund? LOL

hey fire, so the R8 u mentioned is 175K but you're taking donations for 125K. wat are you doing to make up the 50K? or do we not want to know... :icon17: :wtf2:

I'll finance the $50k myself LOL.

:tup: sounds like a fun get together, mr.zman. woah on the hail storm, good to hear you guys are all covered. :eekdance:

220F is pretty normal, actually. im in 210-220 range often. :)

Yeah I know it's normal it's just :ugh2: that it gets there by not trying.

I think when I do my next oil change I'll order an oil cooler for peace of mind.

I think I might be suffering from R.D.D.
