Cold Air Intake For Nissan Datsun (1975-1983) 280Z 280ZX With 2.8L L6 Engine Blue

Wake Up Your L-Series Inline 6 with This High-Flow Blue Intake for the 280Z & 280ZX

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Nissan and Datsun enthusiasts running the legendary L-Series L28E engine in the S30 and S130 chassis.

The Problem: The factory air box on the L28E was designed in an era where noise suppression was prioritized over raw efficiency. The stock plumbing is often restrictive, featuring corrugated rubber boots that create internal turbulence and an intake tract that pulls in stagnant, heated air from the radiator area, robbing your classic Z-car of its potential.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to maximize the volumetric efficiency of the L28E, replacing the restrictive factory baffles with a smooth-bore, mandrel-bent aluminum tube. This allows your engine to draw a consistent stream of cooler, denser air, correcting the airflow limitations of the original 1970s design.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Optimized Airflow: By smoothing out the intake path, you’ll see a noticeable 7-10% increase in horsepower and a sharper throttle response that the factory L-Jetronic system desperately needs.
• Signature L-Series Growl: Replaces the muffled stock sound with a deep, mechanical induction note that only a performance-tuned L-Series inline-6 can produce.
• Bulletproof Construction: Built with high-grade aluminum and a washable, reusable high-flow filter that provides superior filtration without the maintenance costs of paper filters.
