What a good girl u finally said something useful. Has anyone done the 75 mm throttle body? If so how do you like it? Do u feel a difference? Can I do this and feel it with just a ypipe and exhaust?
I ask myself the same question since im doing the 5pc intake spacers, dont know if its worth buying the bigger tb |

So then maybe getting a gutted manifold and 75mm tb might be a better idea??

Im looking into intake exhaust and maybe 75 mm if Im confident enough that its worth it. Another thing I wanna figure out is a good clutch. I read fidenza with a 350z stock clutch is a good combo.but that's later on.and I wanna get a good suspension combo.

Im not sure still doing research on it.same boat as you. That guy might of had defected spacers or it just could be a problem more people have.what kind of intake are you using?

Most people have had no trouble. Hopefully it works well. As for the clutch im thinking the same thing. I give my clutch about another 2k miles before I switch out

OP- don't worry about power down low, you want to get more power up top.
Spend less that $200 and do these following upgrades VIAS BOP plate from NWP Spacer Kit from NWP STS mod (all can be done in your driveway with a couple/few hours and simple tools) Then I'd recommend Headers, exhaust, suspension, RSB or brakes Don't worry about the throttle body unless you plan to upgrade your intake manifold |

I just saw a video on YouTube that the guy was having a problem with vacuum leaks from the spacers.he redid it 4 times 2 different mechanics and finally took them off.
One idea to try is to use 2 OEM gaskets for the LIM/UIM for easy installation because that RTV is a :mad: to get off, especially if you plan on re-using it. http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...ml#post8194111 http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...p-spacers.html |

That's a very rare case. And I did mine successfully 5-6 years ago with no problems. Also removed them and put them on another manifold 2x, still no problem.

Using that for now.. Switching to a short ram though. What are you using? Ah man that's pretty sweet! I'm still running stock intake... looking into some options. |

Are you kidding me? Am I the only one who thinks the tubing on this intake looks really small, not smooth/constant diameter, and like it is sucking hot air from behind the radiator? I can't be sure, though, because it is hard to determine such details only from a picture.
What brand is most recommended? |

Yes you are right. Its not the best intake, but like I said I threw it on because I already had it. Just for the meantime while I find a good one (short ram)

Anyone know of a write up on making a cold air intake? Can't find it. Need something that shows locations and if I have to relocate the battery |

For the spacers - USE A QUALITY TORQUE WRENCH and make sure it works (calibrated properly etc)
