R2C Performance Intake

[LuckyLuke]

InstallationI have no experience working on car and it was easy for me. The only time I followed the guide when I had to attach the new intake parts together. Other then that it was smooth installation. Just removed the old intake and installed the new one in. It took me about 2 hours to install + 1 hour trying to find a socket I dropped the bottom of the car (couldn't find it).

I will have some photos tomorrow.. and video sometimes next week.

Here is the intake infohttp://www.r2cperformance.com/infiniti_g37.html

I bought it here.. the lowest price I found online. Kyle was friendy. You can ask him questions on IM.http://www.importpartspro.com/r2cpepopekit.html

Did you get the black chrome intake? Do you know if this intake is CARB-approved or pending? Can't wait to see pics.

Help! my car is not starting anymore. It started fine after I installed the intake. I did attempted reset the ECU. But it was unsuccessful.Then I decided to wash my car first before I reattempt to reset ECU. After I am done trying to move the car. The brake pedal is really hard. The interior light is fine.. but it just won't start. I checked the negative battery wire. It is on tight.. Just won' start..

Help!...

OK, did you remove the negative battery terminal before starting the install? They recommend doing this to avoid failure, I'm sorry we pushed you to install yourself, but I promise, you will have a new battery, and the total $$ will be under the initial quote from Infiniti...

Good luck man, sorry to hear

[LuckyLuke]

Yes I did.. I removed the negative wire... I did drive the car for about an hour after installing intake, this morning I decided to move the car out to wash it. After washing it, tried to move the car back in for waxing. I just won't start.

Will infiniti replace the battery for free? since I am still under warranty.. does Nissan cover infiniti car warranty or I have to bring it to infiniti dealer?

[LuckyLuke]

Okay, I fixed my battery issue. Everything is fine now I guess.

The sound of the intake is great. Sound really aggressive and mean. About 4K RPM, you can hear the intake really good. I can barely hear my exhaust anymore. When it is idling, it is more deeper sound than before.

More pictures soon
