Well I ask my boss about the KnN and he said I could have it but I had to take it off myself...so I did. I was going to use the entire chrome pipe off the Mustang but it would not have fit the 280zx the way i wanted it too, so I will custom make my own inlet pipe for it...pics to come soon...well as soon as I get all the stuff together for the build!

 

K&N

But otherwise, congrats on getting the filter

 

Well, I went to home depot and got some 3" pvc pipe and my K&N is now on the car...I will take pics as soon as my friend gives my camera back...the little jerk!!

 

custom intake pipe via pvc, lol, Thats pretty red neck. Now i can tell your from the south..... Deep south... if anyone can tell me where thats from, their the ****.

 

Little Nicky...yeah its a little redneck but it was like $6 and a free filter, it looks good and once I get the bracket made and paint the pipe it will look great...but best of all it is fully functional for $6!!!

 

man that the ****, haha i just watched that and thought deep south..anyways, that is true, you sure it won't melt? ahh your in n/a huh, so i dont think it'll work on mine. A 6$ intake system coo.

 

It wont melt...unless you are putting direct flame on it...this pipe is pretty thick also so I am sure it can handle some boosted applications too...but it is a little heavy weight wise, more so than aluminum or chromed steel I think. Edit: I just looked at the pipe. This pipe will handle whatever boost you like, it is rated at 260psi.

 

hehe, i wondering of heat but no need to argue....i'll probably do this until i can find aluminum, but its a maybe...thats cool 6$ intake system.

 

It's cool man, not arguing...but this pipe is meant for hot or cold water so it is pretty durable. Don't get me wrong, I would rather have aluminum but it is gonna take alot of heat soak to mess with the air going through this pipe.

 

hmm, i might have to do that for a little then, maybe even for the intercooler, i'm going to get....just to get the bends and what not, then upgrade later....so how does it feel to be a free man, got a lot more time huh..i no i do.

 

It's not so bad...get to work on the car, hang out with other friends and stuff now. There is still something missing now though, but it will be ok.

 

good job, yeah i whooped that one fool, that was talking ****, it was funny..but enough drama, nice find on the KnN, they run like 40+ it sucks.

 

Yeah, I really didn't want to pay that much just for a filter but I really can't complain about this. I am sure it will help the car as I was running the stock air box without a filter for a long time...just glad I didn't suck a bird into the engine!!

 

You Should Go Real Getto And Wrap That Pvc Badboy With Duct Tape...

 

Well no duct tape but it is being held in place with speaker wire

 

dam w/o a filter too g's your brave, skittle i'm twitchin dam it, drinking a rockstar too probably don't help. ducktape meh, try aluminum foil, it'll be blinging. Like paul wal's grille.

 

Speaker Wire??? You Should Use Bailing Wire Instead No Plastic Around It..lol

 

I think Monday I will be getting some metal strapping to make a custom bracket with...right now I just dont want it coming off while I am driving.

 

bailing wire, ehh. Just use the end of the duck tape roll, that way it'll be an even look...it ain't broken if duck tape will hold it...An i think the afm, holds it together enough, or are you talking of hose clamps?

 

No no, all the clamps are fine but the filter is just bouncing around in front of the radiator so I need to make a bracket there where the old air filter box was.

 

ah, i see, hmm, i was going to stick mine out in front of the engine compartment, but am worried about water hitting it and causing stalling and such. so i'm looking inside where nismos is, and were the headlight washer was. then just doing some mods and putting louvers there, that'd be cool.

 

I don't think water is going to be a problem...unless you are dunkin the front of the car in some BIG puddles. The filter actually sits pretty high in front of the radiator if you have the filter level. However if you are worried about water, AEM makes a by-pass valve that if the filter is submerged in water the flaps on the AEM open so water never enters the intake. But with the filter in the front of the car you can bet you are getting the coldest air charge.

 

true, yeah i haven't figured out what i'm going to do, yet...but for sure the motor i have is going into a s30...the s130 is going to a back burner, or maybe up for sale...probably to nismo since he's the homie. I'm going s30 for a sick *** cruiser also no smog where ever i go, hehe.

 

Here, like this, this is my friends 280zx. If you are familiar with the bracket on the front of the factory air box then you will know how high the new filter is sitting. Also here is a pic of that bypass valve from AEM.

 

hmm, cool, thats a little different...man is today going really slow or what, no one want to post....lol, i like how the intake goes to the mddle of the front end tho..sick
