Welcome to NICO!

Check out the G-series FAQ page (link in my sig) for lots of info. There is a link that has aftermarket websites.

those are pretty much your choices for the CAI. however i would recommend not getting them for the troubles in install and need to modify your car cut out a few things etc. plus a few people had issues with water intake through the CAI.hope that helps.

hi , sorry i couldnt see if it was #2 or #3 there, but i always since my first short intake use to cover my filter with a plastic bag been careful to take it before i start the car again (not great no see what happend if you forgot in a k&n!!!), its common knowledge engines breaths air not water so im avoiding weather/car wash topics, thanx for the help anyway but just wanted ideas about gen3 vs the injen one???

comparing stillen cai gen 3 to injen cai. the injen has better power gains throughout the power band . i dont know the cost of each but i would go for the injen in that case. out of those two.

I doubt the Injen has better power. If I'm not mistaken, heat soak will reduce the performance. You can't go off the manufacturers dynos. They just want you to spend your money.

I'd look for some independant dyno's for each.

your right. but going off of manufacturers dyno the injen is better like i said. and also seeing and installing both in different cars, the injen quality and look and finish for the CAI is a lot a lot better. like i said i dont know if theres a big price difference but if not then injen for the CAI

they exclude X models because you can't change out the X shocks with aftermarket to match the springs....they just don't make any aftermarket shocks.

correct. you have to look for 07+ G35 sedan springs and they will fit.

no company offers it for the X.your choises are tanabe with least drop eibach more dropH&R biggest drop.

once you pick which ones you want, when shopping look for altima springs they are the same part number at a lower cost.
