Sold those new when I first started in the car business. Loved them then, still do.

Very Nice!

I thought I saw a dealership in the background on a few of your pictures. I have 8 years of dealership experience, sometimes fun sometimes not. Yes this is my first foreign vehicle and I love it.

Going the post MAF tube and drop-in filter route because the stock layout is already pretty ideal. Gains aren't quite up with long tube CAI setups but it's easier to live with.

That's exactly what I did in my G37.

Yours is a Nissan and mine an Infiniti, but we basically share the exact same engine. The air intake system is already perfectly designed to pull in cold air from outside the engine bay, so there's really no need to install a CAI system. Using straight tubes post MAF, instead of the baffled tubes, and a good quality pair of filters will set you up nicely. I used aFe Pro Dry S filters in mine.

Finally. After a month. Picked up the right trailer in Amarillo last night.
Had me the daisy cut 12oz steak at the big texan steak house. I dont see how someone could eat a 72oz piece of meat. I had a hard time with this little one.

Yeah I going with aFe dry. Just waiting for that delivery. Missed out on the R2C craze.

These HPS tubes needed the breather sections cut like halfway. How was the Mishimoto fit?

Same here. I had to cut about an inch off the breather tubes to fit properly.

The aFe dry filters came in.

I've seen the dyno results for the Cobb and K&N combo (~7hp across the powerband). If that's the same case here, can't really expect to notice it much. The claims for response gains and intake sound (I...don't get why this is a thing) are theoretically true. There was a bit too much traffic to...compare. Nonetheless safer gains vs a CAI where I'd expect loss of bottom end, some installation hassle, heat soak, and worse dealing with vibrations.

Next power mods I'm eyeing are EcuTek remote tune and Stillen exhaust. I might actually do the EcuTek setup earlier and swallow paying for a second tune because it'd be a long ways before I could afford the exhaust and find the time to get the install done. Overall idea is the match/top the Nismo's power with a more refined powerband. Depending on the outcome of the tune, I may never bother with the exhaust.

I heard there was an engine replacement program. Family member had a 2004, and over time it was actually still running fine for over a decade. Just ate oil more and more, and supposedly Toyota would honor a straight up engine replacement if it's under the original owner.
