fellas, i have browsed through the threads and havent find any info about the 2 intakes im looking at. does anyone know anything about the fairlady intake kit or the z33 kit or JDM? i can get any of those really cheap and was wondering which would be the best choice, and/ or any of those are worth a poop. thanks!

Be careful because they might just be selling you stock JDM airboxes. I have my old nismo cold air intake if your interested.
I am running the cold air AEM intake, but I dont recommend going with it. The air scensor is very sensitive, and any extra oil that comes off the cold air filter can ruin it. Its like a $500 scensor so dont screw it up. Also at Mossy Nissan over here they had a Z they were doing mods to and tested the Pop off charger vrs my cold air AEM. The pop off intake gave you about 9 extra horse power and one ftlb of torgue, while the AEM gave 3hp and no torque. In my opinion, I would go with the pop off. Not to mention the pop off does not affect your warranty at all, while the AEM will not be manufacture covered. Just a couple of points for you.
Wait. What? Are you talking about the JWT Popcharger? You won't get 9HP with that. Unless you heavily mod your car, intakes are more for sound than anything. Maybe a couple of HP but don't count on a power boost with one.
And NO intake voids your warranty. They have to proove that your mod caused the problem before they can void any warranty.
And if you're looking to get an intake, if it's new and they're charging less than $100 then I wouldn't go for it. The stock airbox is designed pretty well and is most likely better than one of those cheapies.
I have the AEM CAI as well and I love it...for the sound. Performance doesn't seem any different although when it screams it make me think I'm going faster.
Ok I am only going off what the Nissan Parts Manager told me. That the pop charger adds 9hp and the AEM adds two hp. He said they dynoed the car with both of these mods only done to them, and that is what they found. As far as the warranty goes, ask nissan. If the air sensor goes out, and you are running the AEM, they will not fix that sensor for free. Just some friendly advise, I however did not see the dyno sheets nor have had my sensor go bad to find out first hand on either account.

interesting cold air intakes are more for sound than anything?? funny on the dyno the sound added more horsepower to my rwhp. i guess all those people just buy cai for the sound and dont notice the power difference. stock airboxes are crap did you ever pull the whole thing out of a car??? boy no restriction there those things are wide open.
What I meant was that if you go spend $200 on an intake expecting huge HP gains then you'll be sorely disappointed. And the power differences between one brand vs another or so minimal that it's more a sound choice IMO.
But of course an aftermarket intake is going to suck in more air than the huge plastic box that comes in the Z.
Has everyone forgot about Injen. Their intake dominates over all. This thing is giving 13hp at the wheels. And this is dyno proven with my own eyes, in 101 degree temps. Also comes with its own MAF sensor. I think this is the best intake.

Your wrong. 13rwhp gain is hilarious, there were other factors. Injen DOES NOT dominate. If anything the popcharger really is the best option.
