sipar69 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I've definitely seen videos of a Nismo in the US where the guy had fitted HFCs with the exhaust left as standard and was happy with the results. There are also plenty of people over there who fit a different exhaust (I'm quite happy with the one it comes with). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiezed Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 yeah i really like the exhaust i just a little more burble and want to bling up under the bonnet with a nice induction kit. i really dont wana have to modify the car or anything to get parts to fit.

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Sold a set of HFCs to a Nismo owner at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiezed Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 sweet thanks which ones were they? do you know if they went on without any problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisC2 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hiya, that would be me, many thanks Tarmac/Chris. I won't get round to fitting the Berk HFC's until xmas when I have a bit more time. Also got a K&N Typhoon intake fitted. Same as you I like the Nismo catback noise but just needs a bit more growl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate - be great if you could post some thoughts about how the HFCs affect the sound once you've fitted them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiezed Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 thanks for the reply hope all goes well with the fitting hope they make it burble a bit more you got any other plans for the Nismo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisC2 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I'll give some feedback on the Berks when fitted. The K&N typhoons are fiited, can't say as I can tell much difference one way or the other despite K&N saying they dyno them at around 10+ bhp. I was looking for a little more induction noise which wasn't the case, anyway they look prurdy! A few minor cosmetic things to do and I will be making a camcorder mount soon. It's just wait for spring and then Nurburgring/Spa to really stretch the cars legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think maybe you should add it to this thread (http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/79031-engine-bay-shots/) as it's definitely a good looker.

sipar69 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Nice. Be great to hear about the sound from the cats. I was surprised that the Nismo sounds sporty stock after the crappy sound of the standard car but if cats improve the sound a bit more I might give em a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisC2 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ok, update ................. finally got round to fitting the Berk HFC's. The Berks fit was spot on and overall it took around 4 hours to complete the job. The exhaust note is pretty much the same although is marginally louder. There is definitely an increase in noise although if I were honest a little more would have been nice. That said, HFC's do just that i.e. flow more air not delete cats or silencers. May be in the mind but it feels a tad quicker? I suspect some may say more noise and others it's just enough, either way mine will be staying on!

synolimit Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I'll give some feedback on the Berks when fitted. The K&N typhoons are fiited, can't say as I can tell much difference one way or the other despite K&N saying they dyno them at around 10+ bhp. I was looking for a little more induction noise which wasn't the case, anyway they look prurdy! Can't say I'm surprised. The short rams hurt power, they don't help it. The Z runs way to hot for them. In traffic youre killing power because the MAF sensor pulls timing the hotter the intake temps get. You need long tube headers or keep the OEM setup but install drop in K&N filters and a smooth silicone post MAF tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
