For starters, the exhaust rubbing on the dyno roller WILL affect the results. Your power picking up on every run is probably due to the exhaust clearance itself as metal gets rubbed away and the rollers get easier to turn.
Pronounce it like the word noisy but instead of "s" use "z" letter Noizy, and can be written like you already did.... So i like your name idea for the Noi-Z 🙂
@@brokeblasian You don’t really notice chatter when you’re driving around. It is annoying in a drive-thru or at a red light because people think your car is about to blow up. Mine is also in a MK6 GTI.
@@brokeblasian you only hear the chatter really when your sitting at idle in traffic or something i have a stage 3 6 puck and 17 pound flywheel with full interior and and exhaust i cant hear it unless i have my door open worth a little noise forsure
A stock HR makes like 250 torque. So if your logic is correct it should have been making like 170 while the exhaust was scrubbing and then as it wore down it moved up to a max of 250 torque. But it didn't, it kept moving up and up to what, like 320 torque? I agree that problem was most likely the exhaust scrubbing, but there has to be more going on with the dyno and false readings not just that the exhaust wore down and the Zs true numbers came out.
When you first started it was dragging the exhaust really bad which was causing lag on the pull that made it look like you had less power each time you made another run it freed it up more and caused it to show more power each time
There is a good theory pointed out many others that the exhaust rubbing away is creating less resistance, thus reading more HP/TQ. Correct me if I’m wrong on this. Another theory I have is the Main Base Timing (MBT) is increasing on its own due to less knock threshold each run. Then relieving the airflow restrictions with the aftermarket intake leads to less knock threshold, therefore more timing automatically added for more power. I’m not totally familiar with tuning this platform, but from my (very) small experience with tuning Nissan/Infiniti, this is a viable theory.
You have the intakes installed backwards. with aftermarket intakes, the MAF sensor is supposed to be on the bottom. That should help with the clearance.
Hrs/vhr have good manifolds from the factory because they hold heat well, my car doesn’t actually run good until I drive it 20-30mins give or take. They like running in a sweet hot spot. Stock tune 07 HR
I was born in Road Island but raised in Norwich/Groton Connecticut. Got to salty and tired of the 1 to 3 feet of snow every year and had to moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia. The only thing I miss is foxwoods and papa Gino's.
Get a roll of sticky backed 1/8 in. "hard" rubber for any contact points on the new intake. You can cut to size and the hard rubber will last for a while. I get it from Nashville rubber and gasket here and I'll bet there's some place similar in Conn. Z-bois about to ride!
I've a engineered cold air plenum under the front rail of my R33 GTR. It then runs into a cold air ram to a cold air box surrounding the pod. When the weather is cold it increases intake noticeably. 👊
If it has test pipes on it already without a CEL, it was more than likely tuned as they normally disable the post-cat O2 sensor in the tune. VQ's normally will do better with stock airboxes than the short ram intakes, but there is typically another bump when you make the jump from air boxes to long tube intakes so it sort of makes sense. If temp in the shop dropped too that would help the numbers too in my mind.
@@AudibleVisibIe you do realize the sun set in the time they installed the intakes right? Northern climates during the winter you’ll get a fairly drastic temp change once the sun sets but IAT’s directly effect timing so if it dropped 5-10 degrees, it could completely lead to better numbers.
TIP OF THE DAY:What you need to do is go down to a couple of your local firestations and ask if you can have their expired 2.5 inch firehoses and cut off the end couplers and you got yourself some of the best line insulation and wrap for around metal pieces to keep from rubbing.
Back in 2003 I bought a 350 when they first hit the US. Went to a dyno day that weekend. Made 237 wheel… (287 flywheel from factory I think is what Nissan reports/non hr) how tf are you seeing 300 and saying “yea it’s stock”. Factory the “hr” comes with 306 flywheel hp… how are you getting those numbers with zero drivetrain loss? I mean it’s cool 😎 just doesn’t compute. Thx for the content. ❤️
YOOOO What if the exhaust rubbing was slowing it down and the more you guys ran it and grinded through the less it restricted the rollers and therefore resulted in the slow increase in power XD
There is a german channel that dyno tests A LOT of stock cars and they always make more power on the second pull. Working theory on that channel is, that its because of the fan that keeps running between runs and therefore the engine gets a lot of cooling doesnt pull any timing at all
I think you're getting more power each run because you're wearing further through the exhaust and it doesn't have to work as hard to grind out the exhaust
I rewatched the beginning of the video and found the Frenchie finishing his doo-doo on camera @ 0:17 🤣 I have 2 French bull dogs and they dump everywhere. Especially inside if it’s raining lol
You wouldn't believe the amount of quiet you can get on a loud car by putting on a reduction down turn on the end of the muffler, and you could always remove it later when you get a proper exhaust. If you get an adapter to go from whatever the exhaust is 3" or 2.5" and bring it down to 2" and put a down turn on it, it's like 90% quieter its crazy. I have evidence on my own channel of doing this with a straight pipe car that was driving me crazy. It took away all the drone and the majority of the annoying noise.
On my g37 I did a slightly custom exhaust that in my opinion(and a few others) was one of the better sounding VQ exhaust set ups. I did Megan Y pipe(cheap-o I know lol), mated to Greddy Revolution Single Exit and had a pretty nice quality 6” resonator welded in between the resonator that comes on the Greddy and the y-pipe. It created a decently deep tone and didn’t have that typical VQ trumpet noise at higher RPM with very little rasp and the best part of all… NO DRONE. I think that whole set up with labor ran me about 900 tops
Diy twin turbo kit for the z , Johnny pipes can make headers or you can weld them yourself, and learn to weld , do something to make it quite, turbo charger , air to water intercooler and custom ecu, so the z will be quite with good power
More lenght and smaller diameter tube affect air velocity and usually generate more mid range torque. As long as the air is nice and cool should make more but if air gets hot propably makes less than on stock intakes
Hahahah jimmy out here dragging the coast with the z on the dyno, Jimmy you also can cut up a bicycle tube and slide a small piece in between the hard pipe and the strut bar!! It won't rub through it
For starters, the exhaust rubbing on the dyno roller WILL affect the results. Your power picking up on every run is probably due to the exhaust clearance itself as metal gets rubbed away and the rollers get easier to turn.
+1 for this
Also the intakes are backwards thats why they fit funny and hit everything!
This is what I was thinking too.
Still not gonna be making that much power on a stock HR with exhaust, intake, and a tune
I came here to say this
I know it’s getting quieter at some point down the line but I feel like the name for this thing at the moment should be the Noi-Z cause it is LOUD
But it sounds like trash 🥴🥴🥴
Pronounce it like the word noisy but instead of "s" use "z" letter Noizy, and can be written like you already did.... So i like your name idea for the Noi-Z 🙂
that's fire
That's actually great.
@@Daveytoonasty didnt say it sounded fkn good he just said its noisy
Doggy throttle response comes from the 30 + lb flywheel. Aftermarket flywheel fixes that.excited to see this build
Yeah when I did the flywheel when I had mine, the throttle response was crazy good
@@synergy_gt5005 how is the flywheel chatter ? I want to go a lightweight flywheel but I don’t want to deal with the loud ass chatter
@@brokeblasian depends. I went ACT for mine and there was some chatter but it wasn’t unbearable by any means
@@brokeblasian You don’t really notice chatter when you’re driving around. It is annoying in a drive-thru or at a red light because people think your car is about to blow up. Mine is also in a MK6 GTI.

its wearing through the exhaust is why its gaining power
thats the first thing that came to mind yeah
Every pull had less resistance. Metal dragging on the rough roller surface acting as a brake.
The power kept going up because the exhaust was getting worn down and the rolling resistance was decreasing with each pull.
A stock HR makes like 250 torque. So if your logic is correct it should have been making like 170 while the exhaust was scrubbing and then as it wore down it moved up to a max of 250 torque.

Good morning! Exciting stuff here Patreon gang.
This indeed is exciting stuff Nick
Always forget he’s got a Patreon just joined 🤓
I fucked up and slept in on my day off. I’m sorry I failed you
I prefer forced air intakes, but that's just me :D
Shutoff on the battery please. That's a whole lot of fire between your legs.
My man!
Each pull wore the exhaust more causing less resistance on the dyno making your horsepower jump up each time!
It is so puzzling to me, that Jimmy didn't pick up on this immediately after seeing the exhaust lol
Great to see Sammy back again. Them winter blues get me to..
Dj: you got the exhaust on the roller
Jimmy: it’s all right
Ant: it’s good
Jimmy: oh wow that’s bad 😂
you know somethings up when DJ's the one who notices a problem
And still don't understand why the power numbers are going up each pull. lmao

Add some air ducts in the bumper to provide more air to the filters
@Rinda Foty reported 😊
You have the intakes installed backwards. with aftermarket intakes, the MAF sensor is supposed to be on the bottom. That should help with the clearance.
The dog licking the floor where he took a dump 😂
I LOVE some hr vq action
Hrs/vhr have good manifolds from the factory because they hold heat well, my car doesn’t actually run good until I drive it 20-30mins give or take. They like running in a sweet hot spot. Stock tune 07 HR
It was already tuned. Stock tune on a hr is around 275 wheel max. Plus the burble. It was definitely already messed with.
Ants reaction to all these numbers is killing me 😂😂 “OHH GAHH DAMITTT”

Stevie is a great add to the channel! Keeps things fresh and those music videos are on point lol.
JIMMY YOU HAVE THE INTAKES BACKWARDS THATs WHY THEY FIT WEIRD. Maf is supposed to be looking down! Like this so he can see
Dude I swear we tried both directions and they fit better this way 🙃🥲
@@JimmyOakes hmmm i have them in my G37 and they fit great not sure what happened with the Z 🥲🥲 that rubbing is going to be annoying

The eye lids look dope the just need a respray. Then it will be killer
The exhaust probably grinded down a little more each pass and letting it make more power
R33 looking fire on camera need more 33 content
I don't see many people answering Stevies question so I'm gonna say the little dog makes like 5 hp and about 15 lbs of torque!
2.5hp 20 torque
Get an ISR single exit and itll sound 10x better and more quiet!
With TP?
I ordered a z1 single, is that good?
Good morning Patreon gang 🙏 Stevie your dog is adorable 😍 RIP headphone users btw.
I've a engineered cold air plenum under the front rail of my R33 GTR. It then runs into a cold air ram to a cold air box surrounding the pod. When the weather is cold it increases intake noticeably. 👊
And Jimmy wonders why his Dyno reads all jacked up, 6th gear limiter pulls! This is by far my favorite group of friends!

Temperature of the shop.
So obvious but not once did it occur to me.
Temperature of the shop dropped enough in 5 runs to effect the numbers every time?
.. That is the silliest thing I've ever heard

Good call on the Z1 intakes. Definitely a good addition. Love seeing Z content.
Seeing Stevied lil fourlegged friend almost had me tearing up as my fourlegged bestfriend knocked on "heavens gates" just a little while a go🥺

Get ready to.drift it DJ hit the 10k quick have a goodnight and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Massachusetts
That Map after the bumper put on made it look almost like you put cams in.
s/o you and your friend group for spiking the value on my car

@6:29 only a rider would notice the wall ride marks on the wall in the background at this moment. 😎👍
I can’t wait to see all the z in one spot
This 350Z sound like the car in the first underground games. Yust turn donw the the world nois. Love the vids
Can confirm, just got my first Z last month. Owning one makes you fall in love with your inner teenager again. BRAAAPPPP SKIIIDDDD!!! BRRRAAAPP!!!.

Keen for the Z! Always been a dream car, they are just crazy expensive here... Let's see that thing RIP!!!!!!
I rewatched the beginning of the video and found the Frenchie finishing his doo-doo on camera @ 0:17 🤣
I have 2 French bull dogs and they dump everywhere. Especially inside if it’s raining lol
Had me looking at 350s in the background. Want to see that 370 drift
I second the kid who recommended calling it the NoiZ
The HR in the uk is 308bhp stock on 98+Ron factory spec - 287hp was the original DE and the rev up was 300bhp stock.
Good morning from New Zealand 🙌
I'm from the mountains of Oregon.....glad you like our beer DJ. Lol
The tomei is great just change the test pipes to resonated or run stock cats
perfect. sat down to shit and i see jimmy uploaded. can’t wait for my legs to fall asleep
as a gold LINK distributor, you should have something to say in other car models ECU's
very first shot of the dyno pull u see a spark by the strap
11k , lets GOOOO!! Go DJ!! 😂👍

Z makes more power on every run.
Tony - “No God damned way” 😂😂
Get berk resonated test pipes,isr Y pipe and tomei or isr single exit for a nice no rasp setup 🔥💦
silver and gold space theme livery would be fire
fk yer we will get to see tommy slam into djs z now. stoked
funny how you could see the dog taking a douce in the intro
0:16 LOL! Totally missed that until you said it.
Power going up each time because he's clearancing the exhaust with each pull. 😂
Gotta love getting home from work to a fresh upload!
Donald drifting. EXCITING STUFF!

gaining power as they grind away, the titanium resistor.. the great mystery
Run the INTAKES!
Immediately hit that like when you said we should. It's at 10k DJ gonna be whippin it!
Diy twin turbo kit for the z , Johnny pipes can make headers or you can weld them yourself, and learn to weld , do something to make it quite, turbo charger , air to water intercooler and custom ecu, so the z will be quite with good power
Need that “exciting stuff!” merch
very exciting stuff for next video
19:30 Lets get DJ to drift his Hotboi 370Z!!!!
More lenght and smaller diameter tube affect air velocity and usually generate more mid range torque. As long as the air is nice and cool should make more but if air gets hot propably makes less than on stock intakes
Dj definitely has to hit the track in the 370.
9.8 at 7 hours.. dj’s gunna join the club
We doubled the normal 7k likes. DJ better drift that 370!!
Went to like it as soon as they said 10K for DJ to drift his Z and the videos is already at 12K 😂👏🏽
Hahahah jimmy out here dragging the coast with the z on the dyno, Jimmy you also can cut up a bicycle tube and slide a small piece in between the hard pipe and the strut bar!! It won't rub through it
1350 says it all in the back ground NO GOD DAMN WAY !!!!!!
Already 12k likes
Can't wait to see DJ doing a drift event that'll be content
10k let's see that 370 slide around Dj! 👌
When stevie said learin to be salty is my favorite saying ahahah died 🤣
I’ve always felt like the 350z HR’s “factory claimed” HP was a bit underrated.
Jimmy, I know this is an old video, but the intake tubes are swapped left for right and upside down, MAFs go on the bottom.
my mans is so goated wit the lunch break uploads 🐐😭
Yo jimmy you can fix that strut bar rubbing against the intakes if you simply use strut bar spacers!!!
Z is looking mint now and a new shop dog? W's
Mine picked up 13whp from just going to K&N drop in filters along with silicon couplers
I dont normally hit the like button on vids but for dj to deift the z i will
Exciting Stuff!!
THIS IS SOME EXCITING STUFFFFF!!!!
9:11. The dog wants to play chase.
What you need is 3inch intakes and a tune z1 is good if you can’t afford a tune .. definitely get catch cans as well
Steve with the glasses 🤪
"you're a wizard Stevie"
Love to see the frenchie more on the channel 😅
Lets see DJ try to drift
