Its Finally Done!!!

[chicklet]

We finished the Injen CAI today!!! It was well worth it! All the dirt in the eyes, dirt in the nails, blood on the hands and nails up the :moon:, we did it!

The entire install took 4hrs. We did not have to take off the bumper or wheel well. Yea! With little hands it can be done!!! ;)

Today was the most beautiful day!:sunsmile:

We did some fabrication to the styrofome, we cut out a chunk of it so the intake filter could fit and then had to cut it and put it back in to protect the intake filter from water exposure. :thumbsup:

All in all my partner in crime (Jennifer in the picture) and I had a great time. Did I mention we are both GIRLS??? YES GIRLS ARE VERY CAPABLE OF MODIFYING CARS!!! :yeah:

Thanks Joe and Rick for the encouragement!!! :headbang:

[Chops]

Looks good! Be careful of your MAF sticking straight up like that. I had mine that way and it was poking a small indention in the hood insulation.
We (me and Rugs) turned it 180 degrees and put it on the bottom.

Hood up at the next meeting! :toast:

[RugRatCoupe]

Way to go! :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :rockon: :rockon: :winner:
It's amazing you didn't have to remove the Bumper or Inner Fender....Like you said, must be the small hands...
when you say you put the foam back in front of the filter to protect it from water damage. I hope you didn't block off too much incoming air. That's partially how the cold air intake works. Being exposed to cool incoming air, kinda like a Ram-Air effect. It's probably fine...
I'll be sure to check it out at the meet...Nice Work... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[chicklet]

OH Chops, we did notice that before we shut the hood. The thing is, if you look at the diagram pictures it shows it like that. We loosened it and turned it 45degrees to the left. So its clear now. Good eyes Chops. Yes siree! HOODS UP!!! :biggthum:

[Canton_G35]

good job Chicklet :biggthum: glad I could help. But I guess since it took 4 hrs. I didn't help that much.

just remember watch out for deep puddles

[chicklet]

Yea I had a scary moment there thinking about hydrolocking. That's why we put the styrofoam in front of it. It can be removed tho. It would be hard. I think its cool, b/c the cover underneath protects it from big splash ups.

[G100011]

Congrats! Looks great! How come no action shots of you, huh?

[jazz z1]

YOUDA GIRL (lady) CHICKLET

Looks like you and your helper (w/the movie star looks) did a stellar job. Can you sense a difference in performance? Can you hear the intake vacuum when you get on it? GOOD JOB! :thumbsup:

Be prepared for Inspection Finals by the MOD GODS at the next meet. You will be graded.

Thanks Jazz! I can feel some difference, the sound diffrence is incredible. At 5k rpms the thing screams!!! Best $250 I've spent. I found it a few dollars cheaper but I ordered it from my guy and he got it to me in two days versus a week. Oh I know the mod gods will be inspecting my work. I hope I get an A+.

Britt-I was taking the pictures. Plus, it wasn't a great hair day for me. There are pictures of me somewhere on this site.

[cdickgo]

One thing to be careful about when working on your engine ( I noticed you friend leaning over the side), Make sure that you are not wearing a belt. I know someone who scratched the :flame: out of their car doing that. They sell mechanics mats for protection also.

[2003z]

Congrats! Isn't the sense of accomplishment as good or better than the performance increase? I know I live for it!! :monkey:

[Canton_G35]

Yeah, I love being able to say "I did it"

[G100011]

Britt-I was taking the pictures. Plus, it wasn't a great hair day for me. There are pictures of me somewhere on this site.

Just looks as if she did the work and you took the pics ;-)

[JDG35]

For everyone who doesn't know me I'm cicklet's partner in crime. Well I was wearing sweat pants while working on the car so no need to worry about belts scratching the paint. Also, britt actually did about half the work so I can't take credit for it all. Yes it was a success and I know she is happy to have it installed and I was just gald to not have to remove the bumper or the wheel well to get it in. Also it was a pleasure to work on the G because all I have ever worked on are honda, mitsubishi, and toyota. Well I look forward to meeting all of you on the 21st.

[tony]

Conratulations Ms. Chicklet and Ms. Partner in crime. What is next on the DIY list?

[G100011]

Britt, got something for ya...

welcome to Frenzy Jen. Maybe next time I'll be able to point over your shoulder instead of trying to describe it over the phone.

[chicklet]

Awe Tonio, I have a long list...I will be getting Jazzy's grounding wires and the blinker mod soon. So that will be some more mods to add to the signature. Yea! Um...I want so much for this car if somebody could give me the moolah to do it, it'd be done.

Britt-I love it. I wish I had that one.

[G100011]

C'mon chick, go with us this friday. You'd really enjoy letting her loose on the strip. You'd get to hear that CAI echo.

[chicklet]

Sorry JD, where are my manners? Welcome to the site. I guess since I know you I kinda welcomed you in person, hey that's better than posting the welcome right?

Britt-I've negleted to tell you (all) the real reason that I cannot make it to the strip. I have requirements of one of my classes to attend four music concerts. Between the Nov. meet and Thanksgiving I have to attend 4 concerts before the semester is over. These concerts are part of my grade. Trust me, I want to be there. From what I heard, I think the turn out at Gilly's is going to be good. I'm sorry. The CAI and I are waiting to meet you at Gilly's. Jennifer (JD) will be there with me.

Ok, you can slide this once.

JD, coming in your own ride??

[chicklet]

I don't know if she'll be a regular online so I'll answer that one, she'll be in an S2000.

[chicklet]

Okay so here are the updated tpictures of the CAI. We did notice that the Mass Airflow Sensor was sticking up and wouldn't clear the hood before we shut it. Please read this if you plan to install an Injen CAI, rotate the stock pipe for the MAFS to the left so that it does not touch the hood. Awe the best thing I've done yet the G. Well, the only real mod.

[Chops]

Hey chicklet you may want to keep an eye on your a/c line. There have been several people with aftermarket intakes that have rubbed tiny holes in their a/c line. I used a zip-tie to hold mine away from the CAI. I hear it can be expensive to get it replaced.

[Canton_G35]

I flipped my MAF to face down

[Chops]

Are those low hip hugger pants in the reflection on the second pic? :gleam:

[chicklet]

Are those low hip hugger pants in the reflection on the second pic? :gleam:

Um...no I had a pink shirt and pj pants on.

Thanks i'll be sure to keep the a/c line away from the intake.

[G100011]

Are those low hip hugger pants in the reflection on the second pic? :gleam:
I noticed that too, but I didn't want to sound... :hyme: well, you get the point.

[chicklet]

OMG I didn't even look that pic. Um...no the shirt is short and I had to raise up to take the entire length of the intake. Uh oh, lol. O well.

[Canton_G35]

Are those low hip hugger pants in the reflection on the second pic? :gleam:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

they are pretty low

[chicklet]

Okay GUYS. The pj pants are really huge, I had my home phone in my pocket and some other junk in the other and they were pulled down a little but nothing was revealed. LOL, i'm embarassed now.

[G100011]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

they are pretty low

Nothing's wrong with looking, but I must admit, I didn't want to say anything because I thought it might've been an orange/tan/something shirt.

[chicklet]

Yeah uh huh.

[chicklet]

Haha its gone.

[G100011]

Haha its gone.

Darn, should've saved it for blackmail.

[chicklet]

Darn, should've saved it for blackmail.

Oh haha very funny, blackmailing.

[G100011]

Oh haha very funny, blackmailing.
I thought so too, obviously.

[Canton_G35]

well atleast there are no "true leg humpers" :rocking: here, or someone would have saved it.

[chicklet]

well atleast there are no "true leg humpers" :rocking: here, or someone would have saved it.

Well I hope no one saved it. Haha leg humpers.

[G100011]

I'm not a leg humper, but...
After a few Long Islands I could be whatever she wanted...

(of course she'd have to be the one consuming the Long Islands) :boing:

[SFLG35]

lookin good chicklet.
hope you had fun installin it.

sorry it has taken me so long guys to get back to the site. very busy the past couple weeks with school.

well got to move on the next thread. 1 down 1048 left to go.

[chicklet]

Hey SL! Glad to see you back posting!

Yes we had such I great time installing the intake, I have to look at at least twice a day. LOL.

[SFLG35]

its good to be back but tryin to catch up on the new posts are not fun.

[chicklet]

its good to be back but tryin to catch up on the new posts are not fun.
Totally understand.

[chicklet]

Chops, Canton, Rugs here is an updated picture of the intake. I flipped the MAS downwards to kep it from heat and to protect the A/C line from damage. Sorry the picture is blurry, not a good camera.

[chicklet]

NO REFLECTIONS IN THIS PICTURE!!! Lol

[SFLG35]

no reflection = no fun

you might want to just keep an eye on that ac line. i know quite a few people that had that problem and they had to shell out a good amount to get it fixed.

[chicklet]

Yep I fixed that today.

[bungfoon]

dang nice job...jennifer is a hottie :boing: :lol:

[chicklet]

dang nice job...jennifer is a hottie :boing: :lol:
Thanks bungfoon. Too bad you aren't close, she'll be at the Nov. meet.

[Canton_G35]

dang nice job...jennifer is a hottie :boing: :lol:
there's a leg humper..... :imwithst:

[chicklet]

there's a leg humper..... :imwithst:

Haha :rocking: :rofl: :lol:

[JD1]

I tell you this guys/gals...I'm gonna have to make the drive up there for one of your meets...Our group pretty much does nothing. Wait, did I say group...we'd need to have a group first...lol

Oh yeah, u guys in GA are lucky...so far no hottie G owners over here...everytime I see a G being driven with a woman driving I take a double look only to go :11doh: and wind up almost wrecking because they've scared the **** outta me...ha.ha...

PS So what's worse...to be a leg humper or to claim that it's your 3rd leg... :smileeek:

[SFLG35]

ah yes jd1. i had the pleasure of hangin out with the atl crew and they are quite the group i must say. good times.

[chicklet]

PS So what's worse...to be a leg humper or to claim that it's your 3rd leg... :smileeek:

LOL, yes you do need to make it to one of our meets. OMG, haha i can't stop laughing. Well, if you don't run into someone in our club they wouldn't even try to keep up with you. I've driven next to so many G's with women in them and they drive it like a big ole S class benz, its makes me angry. At least I can be surrounded by my fellow enthusiasts and really down to earth people. All of you have made my time here...well, let's not get to mushy :cry: :lol:

[JDG35]

I know that I don't drive a G or a Z and that I don't post often enough but I will be at the meet next weekend and will be driving a Honda S2000. And no Jennifer is not a hottie or at least I don't think I am but oh well. Yeah Brit and I got the sensor off the ac line so everything is good to go. Does anyone know if the 10000K HID's are legal, I've had one too many tickets so I just want to check before putting them the car.

JD, I happen to see a S2000 on the way to Moe's tonite and they are 6ks, I don't think they are 8ks.

[JDG35]

I will have to look after while to see, they are still hot now and I have no idea where the owners manual is, but i will let you know when I find out.
Thanks

[chicklet]

otay :hey:

:toast: friday nite??? study buds all weekend!

I wanna see Alfie, ALFIE, oh Alfie!!!

[JDG35]

Sounds good!!!! Yes I will be studying all weekend unfortunately but at least I won't be alone :toast:

[chicklet]

Study this weekend and Gilly's for the 21st. Yea!

[JD1]

Damn, now there's 2 JD's....because I that's what I go by. Well I guess I'll stick to my JD1..lol. Well I have something to say about all this. YES YOU ARE A HOTTIE...you will stay one, be one and YOU'RE GONNA like it misssy, is that understood. :slap: Being modest and down to earth with the fellow G owners makes you even more of a hottie so HA on you. I'm sure that the laws vary from state to state but I don't believe that the 10,000 K HID's are DOT compliant thus illegal. Oh yeah, you get double kudos because it's a bad @$$ S2000 (I'm still a Honda lover) so you get props for that. :bowdown:

[JDG35]

Yeah there are two Jds but I've been JD since i was born probably just as you have. Still don't think Im a hottie but thank you for the complement and maybe I'll get to meet you someday :nut: Thanks for the advice on the lights too. Its just a Honda but I do love my Hondas. Actually chicklets got me looking into getting a brick yard red 350Z so maybe I'll have a honda and a nissan after while. :boing:

[chicklet]

Z or G baby whatever as long as its one of the two!!!

[JDG35]

Z or G baby whatever as long as its one of the two!!!
yep one of the two will do. You know i really want a G but I can't be riddin the same thing as you so I think I can handle the Z.

[chicklet]

Awe we can ride in the same car, but it would be nice to complement each other. i'm tellling you there are more aftermarket parts thats why I say a Z.

[G100011]

Awe we can ride in the same car, but it would be nice to complement each other. i'm tellling you there are more aftermarket parts thats why I say a Z.

I test drove a Z before the G... I like that I can fit more in the G, ride isn't as rough(arguable factor to those preferring the stiff side), bang for the buck was a good factor too.

[chicklet]

True I agree, but the Z has more mod possibility. I didn't even test drive mine. I walked onto the lot picked one and drove off. NO research what so ever.

[G100011]

True I agree, but the Z has more mod possibility. I didn't even test drive mine. I walked onto the lot picked one and drove off. NO research what so ever.
I researched over and over. I knew I wanted a powerful rwd car, 2dr.
I preferred a 6spd, HIDs, and nice brakes. So, it was either a G or Z. :thumbsup:

[tony]

I agree with ms. chicklet, there are more mods out there for the Z which sucks for us G owners but oh well, go for the Z!

[chicklet]

keep buggin her she's a sucker for cars like me, she will get one!!!

[Canton_G35]

True I agree, but the Z has more mod possibility.
If your talking about body kits maybe. but all of the performance stuff they have for the Z we have for the G.

And trust me Jen, after you take a ride in a Z on a highway, you might not want one. It wasn't that it was a stiff ride but it sure was a bouncy ride, if you know what I mean. :boing:

[G100011]

And trust me Jen, after you take a ride in a Z on a highway, you might not want one. It wasn't that it was a stiff ride but it sure was a bouncy ride, if you know what I mean. :boing:

I don't remember if it was stiff or what, but it wasn't fun at around 45. I was at Barrett Parkway and the guy really thought I was ready to buy I guess, so he wanted to take it out. I got on one of the back streets there and I was shocked about how it felt like it was bucking. I looked down and I was going 45.
Zs are still great cars and I may own one as a weekend car down the road, but for a daily driver, the G is me.

[chicklet]

Oh I agree. The Z is a Z not a G. I didn't even look at the Z's, only the G interested me.

[JDG35]

If your talking about body kits maybe. but all of the performance stuff they have for the Z we have for the G.

And trust me Jen, after you take a ride in a Z on a highway, you might not want one. It wasn't that it was a stiff ride but it sure was a bouncy ride, if you know what I mean. :boing:
I have heard that about the Z's but I guess I need to go test drive one just to see. I drove one about a year and a half a go but my main problem was seeing over the dash. See guys I'm slightly vertically challenged :jog: I'm only five foot so I would have to get a custom seat to see the road in the Z. Now, about the G, I really do like them and actully that is what I have been wanting but I do know there aren't as many mods for it when comparing to the Z. I don't know I need to research more and decide which one really satisfies me. Yeah and maybe one day chicklet will let me take hers fora ride so that I don't have to go deal with the salesmen at the dealership in order to test drive one again. But we'll see if that ever happens :racer:

[chicklet]

Awe come one now, I don't even let my Mom drive my car. But you know that driving a 6MT would be the "real" deal. You know I'm anal when it comes to my car. I would have gotten one but driving two hours everyday in traffic to get to high school was the reason I got the AT. Traffic no fun with clutch. D, let's go and check the Z's out tomorrow after your class. If not we can check them out Sat when we hit up ATL.

[JDG35]

Aiight I see how it is, but i do understand about the whole letting other people drive thing. I guess I will have to go to the dealership after all. Yeah thats fine, we can go look after class tomorrow but i bet they wont let me drive cause I'm not 21 but we will see. See you in a little while after I get done studying.

[chicklet]

Okay baby girl. Does anyone know if Nissan still makes brickyard red for the Z's? Or was that a 2003 special??? Is it a special order paint cause they don't have it online.

[Rogue370z]

Brickyard was only available for the 03 Z. Color was discontinued....Maybe a used Z?

[chicklet]

Brickyard was only available for the 03 Z. Color was discontinued....Maybe a used Z?
Yeah I'm telling her to get a Brickyard, I love the color, better gas mileage, save moolah and get more parts with the money saved. Her choice in the end though. Look at this Z, whew I want it!

[RugRatCoupe]

hmmm...........kind'a looks like NIGHTRIDER on STEROIDS... :what:

[Chops]

Put some whiskers on that front end and it would kind of look like a nurse shark! :violin:

[JD1]

But we'll see if that ever happens :racer:

Well I'm by far no expert on da G's and Z's but I did test drive both and G is da only way. It's funny at just the response you will get when you tell someone what you drive..."what do you have" oh, I have a "nissan" 350z "oh, yeah, I guess those are nice. VS 'what do you drive" OH, well I drive an INFINITI G35...OH WOW REALLY?!?!? Would you like to do me now or wait till we get home?!?! :rocking: HA.HA..HA.. As fars as mods, I've pretty much seen the same mods G except for the strut brace that I don't think it's avail. yet unless I'm behind on that one. Another big plus...you have 2 rear seats which people can actually use if you need to carry an extra two passengers. Damn with all this...I should be working for infiniti selling da G's...lol

"Huh, Tuesdays in the 80's I was in bed by eight... and home by eleven, Oh!" JD aka Quagmire (Family Guy)

[Canton_G35]

Aiight I see how it is, but i do understand about the whole letting other people drive thing.

I'll let you sit in the drivers seat and play with the seat controls that will let you raise it so you can see over the dash. hahaha

I'd offer you a ride but some people would probably advise against it. I guess I'm a little scary.

[tony]

Now that I think about it, infiniti does have much better service than nissan. Do they give loaners at Nissan dealerships? My vote is for the G now

[chicklet]

I'd offer you a ride but some people would probably advise against it. I guess I'm a little scary.
Um...yeah I've followed you before and that's when you had Jr. with you. I can't imagine you without him to keep you calm.

[JDG35]

I'll let you sit in the drivers seat and play with the seat controls that will let you raise it so you can see over the dash. hahaha

I'd offer you a ride but some people would probably advise against it. I guess I'm a little scary.
Ok well I will just sit and see if I can over the dash and skip the ride so that I don't :urinate: in my pants :rofl:

[Canton_G35]

Ok well I will just sit and see if I can over the dash and skip the ride so that I don't :urinate: in my pants :rofl:

I had to promise Chops I wouldn't get it sideways the last time I took him for a ride

Hey I thought you've never drifted in the G. Hmmm...:confused:

[Canton_G35]

well a turn here or there maybe but I haven't connected drifts

[JDG35]

:clue:

Well I know how to drift but I don't trust anyone else to be doing it with me in the car

Uh huh, that's what I thought.:lol:

[JDG35]

Well I know how to drift but I don't trust anyone else to be doing it with me in the car
Three years ago I was riding with my friend in her vette and she flipped the car six times. She was ejected from the car but I remained in the passengers seat with my frosty in between my legs still in the cup when the car stopped flipping. She had a couple of broken bones and all i had a few scratches and some bruises. Thats why I don't trust people to drive me. One bad experience did for me!!

[SFLG35]

sorry to hear about the accident jen.


Does anyone know if the 10000K HID's are legal, I've had one too many tickets so I just want to check before putting them the car. i have a set of them and absolutely love them. the color is awesome and you stand out from everyone else. i have not had a problem with mine and have had cops sitting right next to me and they didnt say anything. also had one give me the thumbs up the other day. a friend of mine that has a set, said that he hasnt had any problems with them from the police.

as for the legality of them i do not know. they work for me and i like them. you could just say they are oem and it came that way. the car is made in japan.

let me know if you would like a set cause i can get them for you.

[chicklet]

let me know if you would like a set cause i can get them for you.
how much can you get the bulbs for???????

[SFLG35]

they are 160 a set if you use direct money transfer with paypal.
165 if you want to use paypal and a credit card cause paypal charges me a fee to accept credit cards. and thats what i pay for them

[chicklet]

they are 160 a set if you use direct money transfer with paypal.
165 if you want to use paypal and a credit card cause paypal charges me a fee to accept credit cards. and thats what i pay for them
THat sounds good cause I think the ones I've been lookin at are not going to be what I thought. Can you post a picture of them so I can see the color, pleez. $165 sounds better than $250. How long have you had them? Thanks!

[cdickgo]

Are they just bulbs? I was under the impression that you had to have a ballast for HID bulbs?

[cdickgo]

Also I know some HID kits have both high and low beams and cost a fortune. Do you have both? Or is it just a low beam.

[chicklet]

Are they just bulbs? I was under the impression that you had to have a ballast for HID bulbs?
Some of them you have to change and some you don't have to. At least that's what I've heard. I just know my light set up is driving me crazy. I have the white PIAA leds and they are blue and beautiful, the HIDs are just white, the strip lights are yellow, the highbeams are yellow, the fog beams are yellow. Does anyone else feel my pain. Try to imagine that. It looks really weird. Can I just unhook/yank the bulb the strip light while I wait for Rugs to complete his Genius LED strip light mod??? Oh and I want to white out the blinker too. No more orange, tired of it.

Can you post a picture of them so I can see the color, pleez. $165 sounds better than $250. How long have you had them? Thanks!i will try and posts some pictures when i get home today. altough you do have to keep in mind that they are goin to appear much more blue in the picture than they actually do on the road. why that happens i dont know, but what i do know is that they look awesome.


Are they just bulbs? I was under the impression that you had to have a ballast for HID bulbs?
they are just bulbs. and they are clear bulb they are not painted blue to obtain the color like some bulbs are. you do not have to change the blast either.

Also I know some HID kits have both high and low beams and cost a fortune. Do you have both? Or is it just a low beam.
no these are just the low beams. to get by stage bulbs would cost a lot and would require you to change the balast, or atleast add another one.


Some of them you have to change and some you don't have to. At least that's what I've heard. I just know my light set up is driving me crazy.i know what you mean there the stock light setup was the first thing that i changed.

I have the white PIAA leds and they are blue and beautiful, the HIDs are just white, the strip lights are yellow, the highbeams are yellow, the fog beams are yellow. i have the piaa white white leds in both my clearance strip and clear corners. i must say they do a good job of matching the stock setup but with these 10k K's they need to be changed again. where do you have your white leds? as for my fog light i have the piaa extreme white h4 bulbs and they also matched up pretty close to the stock ones, but hte mtec's match up better. with the ne 10k K's though i cant even turn those on anymore cause they now look completely yellow like it was stock again. the only way to get them to match would be to get another set of the 10k K's and another balast and convert the fog/high's to a HID setup.

Does anyone else feel my pain. Try to imagine that. It looks really weird. i feel your pain. i now have to change my setup again. now fun. try to imagine it i dont have to try i can go outside turn on my lights and fogs and see it for myself.

Can I just unhook/yank the bulb the strip light while I wait for Rugs to complete his Genius LED strip light mod??? all i can say is try it. why dont you just get another set of your white leds and put them in there.
Oh and I want to white out the blinker too. No more orange, tired of it.you and me both.

Thanks SFLG35! Yeah I'll pick up some PIAA LEDs for hte clearance for now. I guess I didn't want to buy any now b/c I'm waiting to do what Rugs is doing. O well I guess that's a easy solution for now. I can get them overnite. Um, I'm not so worried about the whole fog/highbeam matching with the rest of the lights. Only the headlight, sidemarkers, strip light and blinker matters to me. I have H4s from my Land Rover that I can stick into the fog beam. Is the bulb for the sidemarkers the same size as the clearance strip??? If so I can order another set so I can get rid of the icky yellow. :puke:

[SFLG35]

yes the clearance bulb and the corners bulbs are the same.

Conratulations Ms. Chicklet and Ms. Partner in crime. What is next on the DIY list?
Sorry Tony, I guess I didn't see your reply to the thread. Oops. Well, I installed the grounding wires today, looks good. Um, I hope to have some more mods done during the meet of the 4th and then some after Christmas.
