Cheap But Quality Intake - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Omega · 02-17-2002, 11:54 PM

I found a guy who makes custom piping with K&N Cone Filters they seem to be of great quality for the price. On eBay he sells them for $84 and $9.99 shipping for 48 states and $17.99 for Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska. Shipping rates via United Parcel Service with tracking and insurance.
He told me if we get 10 people he will take $7 off so you almost get your shipping free.

He makes 4 240sx kits so specify which one u need
89-94 12V, 91-94 16V, 95-96, and 97-98

Pipe Material: Polished Stainless Steel
Filter Material: K&N Cone Filter, Million Mile Guarantee, Cleanable, Reusable.
Also: premium silicone hoses and connectors, stainless steel clamps and completely bolt on

1990 Nissan 240SX 12 V with 97,552 Miles
Performance K&N Intake Kit
5.8 HP Increase at the Wheels
5.1 TQ Increase at the Wheels
This is the Dyno run for the 12 Valve Engine, on the 16 Valve. You will get both more Bottom End TQ, and Higher RPM HP too.

He will accept money orders, and checks, but does prefer paypal

Btw he says for $7 he will change the hosing to ether red or blue it comes yellow normally (there goes your discount hehe)

*Grant* · 02-18-2002, 01:48 AM

can i get everything except the filter for less? I already have a brand new K&N cone.

stix · 02-18-2002, 10:25 AM

yea, same here. i already have a k&n cone filter and maf plate.

Omega · 02-18-2002, 01:22 PM

Im not sure but i can ask him

Omega · 02-18-2002, 01:49 PM

Ok he said he can take $20 off for kits W/O filters BUT your filter must have a 3" inlet.

Price for FULL Kit:
Ok Price before Discount: $83.99
After: $76.99
Shipping: $9.99
Total: $86.98 (Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska add $8 for shipping)

Price for W/O Filter Kit (your filter must have a 3" inlet):
Price minus discount and no filter: $56.99
Shipping: $9.99
Total: $66.98 (Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska add $8 for shipping)

Please mark if u want FULL Kit or W/O Filter Kit and if u want the blue or red hoses

DuffMan · 02-18-2002, 06:15 PM

Just out of curiousity, who did the dyno runs, you or him?

EDIT: btw its a 93 16v

Omega · 02-18-2002, 06:28 PM

I am in no way affiliated with him but he seems very professional. He says he runs dynos on all of his products he makes and sells.

eBay rating

Yea he’s got a few neg. But look at how many he has traded and if u look at the neg. most are not really serous problems anyways.

stix · 02-18-2002, 06:40 PM

i'm in for one w/o a filter, with red hosing.  oh, and its for a 12valve, sohc. thanks man. (i dont care about the extra charge for the red hosing)

*Grant* · 02-18-2002, 07:38 PM

ok, just wondering, does his MAF plate have a flange to mount the air temp sensor? if so I'd want that.

hotdogg · 02-18-2002, 07:47 PM

darn it, i just bought one of those from him last night.  i guess i can be the guinea pig to see how it is and if he is for real.

Ok he says: it does have a hole for the air temp sensor
To work this problem I’m messaging u threw the board with his aim name u so 2 can talk it out

*Grant* · 02-19-2002, 01:02 PM

Alright, lets see how it goes with hotdogg, I'm down for one if every thing goes well. Can you have him measure the length of the filter? (I'm not sure if mine clears or not).

Otherwise, I'm getting the AEM :biggrin:

02-19-2002, 02:18 PM

If everything does go well, count me in as a '90 SOHC 12V with the filter, with blue piping. Btw, this is completely bolt on? Thanks!

Omega · 02-19-2002, 04:49 PM

Yes everything is bolt on
I hope everything goes good too because I’m trusting his word just like u guys
At this pace we should have 10 people in less than 2 weeks so I’m really happy

Grant what do u mean? The height of the fattest round piece (bottom) when lying on its side? Or the length of it from top to bottom?

AZN GTR · 02-19-2002, 08:03 PM

It should be real easy to install right?  I am in for one if it is.  

Omega · 02-19-2002, 09:43 PM

#### yea its just like any other bolt on intake should be done in under 30 min max I would say that most of us here know our way around our cars about and could do it in under 20 min most of that time would be taking out the stock intake

Everyone please include the following info: Year & Make (12v or 16v), w/ Filter or W/O, (Optional) hosing color, and if you are in Canada, Hawaii or Alaska

Also must include valid email  !!!

(Edited by Omega at 9:45 pm on Feb. 19, 2002)

hotdogg · 02-20-2002, 12:24 AM

he's giving you an option on hose colors?  he told me he only had yellow.

jeff

Omega · 02-20-2002, 12:26 AM

i talked him into it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> i think hes doing it custom for this group buy

AZN GTR · 02-20-2002, 01:07 PM

I am in.
97.
[email protected]
He charges $7 extra for different color hoses or not?  If not, I will take red, otherwise, I will stick with whatever that I don't have to pay extra on.

black0ut · 02-20-2002, 01:55 PM

Btw, my email is [email protected] if you didn't get it out of the profile. (That is a zero in 0ut.) And the reason I was asking about whether or not it was completely bolt is that it does not have as many hose fitments as the stock intake. Thanks!

justinc · 02-20-2002, 03:30 PM

Does this come wit any instructions hahaha.
What should we do wit the extra hoses that the stock one has. Should we just use breather filters?

Im intrested 91 nissan 240sx 16v . blue hoses ,hole kit. Canada.
[email protected]

*drifterx* · 02-20-2002, 04:05 PM

doesnt a company called Iven make intakes that cost about the same?
OBX intake is abt the same price

AZN GTR · 02-20-2002, 04:18 PM

So it's not that good of a deal, you saying?

justinc · 02-20-2002, 04:42 PM

Yea it is obx is crap
Ivers is 135 dollars

gh6o6 · 02-20-2002, 05:00 PM

i wonder if he will make a cae for cheep - id buy one

*Grant* · 02-20-2002, 05:43 PM

so it is stainless steel and not aluminum?

hotdogg · 02-20-2002, 07:10 PM

the auction i won says its billet polished aluminum.

Omega · 02-20-2002, 07:13 PM

Ok I’m not sure but if u look at the pic u can see where the other hose should be I think it comes with it and he just doesn’t have it on in the pic. He told me it was SS and that the ebay thing was wrong and we will change it. OBX most likely doesn’t have K&N but im not sure.

I hope it comes with instructions I’m sure it must hehe but if it doesn’t I will make a faq with pics and post it, I’m sure most of us could fig. it out

Ok did I miss anything that was a lot of Q:s

Ohh and yea it is 7 $ for the diff. hose colors

Omega · 02-20-2002, 07:15 PM

I wish he made a cae I don’t know he might ill talk to him and see if we can get him interested I’m sure most of us would buy it hehe
