Super cool Nissan 350Z

by David Allen on Monday, November 16th, 2009

The main image say it all really, three picture showing all of the aspects of the car. It is really a nice piece of work in every aspect and yet from the outside there is little to show that this is a car that is red hot, apart from the ice cool blue flames that run down the sides of the car that is.

Even the engine has not had too much done to it, in fact this is a car that is virtually as it left the factory, but that was over five years ago, so whatever the owner, Ken Axalson is doing it must be right. The great thing about this car is that it is roadworthy, but on a race day, it will be a different matter.

OK there are some serious wheels on the 350Z, Dante Designs Cragar five spoke chrome wheels, with some nice Yokohama tyres wrapped around those chrome babies! All in all this means that this Nissan is a great looking machine and well worth mention.

Secret Weapon Intake (Nissan | 350Z | 03-06)

Product Description – The air filter can be totally taken apart and cleaned. The foam is denser and more thicker than the Dragon filter.

The velocity stank inside the air filter is a TRUE VELOCITY STACK. The Air filter has Ram Air capability, by hooking up the hose to the top of the air filter.

The intake has another Air Passage way inside the intake pipe to create an Air Fusion, imagine two different pathways of air inside the intake pipe, one air travelling in pathway #1 going 2 x faster than pathway #2. When the two different pathways of airflow meet at the end of the pipe they create a fusion effect which enhances the AIR SPEED of the by three times.

The Secret Weapon Intake Systems is a result of countless hours of testing and tuning of air intake velocity, Air mass and Airspeed for each vehicle application. The Result, an intake system that performs better than any Cold Air Intake, but with a Short Ram. It is possible by Weapon*R’s Patent Pending Speed Velocity theory, by creating a higher airspeed in the intake path you increase air mass and airspeed, which greatly increase horsepower.

This is possible by creating two different paths of airflow, both flowing at different airspeeds, due to the tubing diameter in which the air is travelling. Now when the two different paths of air meet, they create a vacuum, which is where the airspeed starts to multiply, forcing more air into the engine at a higher rate, creating more horsepower.

The Secret Weapon Intake Systems are carefully CNC mendrel bent out of 6061 Aluminium, and then Hand Tig Welded in sections to ensure a constant balance in airflow, regulation in airspeed, positive seal and proper fitment. Each one of these intake systems are carefully tuned, by matching the engines displacement, air intake capacity and airspeed to the intake systems tube size, length and secondary pathway tubing diameters to maximize the full potential of the SECRET WEAPON INTAKE SYSTEM. This Intake is Matched with our New
