hahaha...and it even has a picture of a Skyline on the page!

I wonder if anyone is really gullible enough to fall for it and actually but the damn thing.

Too bad eBay doesn't have a forum like this one to debunk scams... Would have saved me some money!

Just wondering where you got that cool *** grill on your maxima? I dig it? Also what size rims do you have, along with what kind of drop do you have? I have progress springs and it is not nearly as low as yours, you must have a helluva bouncy ride?>

I e-mailed the guy and asked him what year "maxima" that is in the item description. I bet he'll say it's the 2004 SE or something like that. Maxima GT-R..

Buy my psychological advantage mod on eBay. It's a tape recording of myself saying "you are the wind" very softly and serenely. Play it in your car and you get an instant 10HP at the wheels!!! Either 15.99 with $5 shipping anywhere in the continental US, or 20.99 with free shipping

I know eBay cracks down...they've gotta be overwhelmed with a lot of BS if a LOT of these fakes slip through the cracks. Then again, I don't know ebay's specific rules on selling whatever you want.

read the guys feed back, people who talk about the product (and not the shipping) say it's a pos wire, does nothing, and waste of time, like we didn't already know that

His car is equipped with parts from Photoshop Racing (including the grille). And yes, those damn Photoshop springs are really harsh with that low of a drop.

c'mon guys, let's give him the benefit of the doubt ... FAKE!

Although in theory (remember this is JUST a THEORY) cars try to run at 14.X:1 A/F for efficiency and for performance 12:1 is best, so in theory you MIGHT possibly get some gain IF this truely did work ... still ... FAKE!

I don't know how our ECUs think, but when we go WOT, I don't think it tries to maintain 14:1 A/F (in open loop), that's one of many reasons to call BS on this.

Yeah and what was the purpose of having a Skyline in the picture if the seller is looking for the Maxima crowd?

relocating the intake air temp sensor is a regular mod on other cars. It's supposed to make the computer dump in a little extra fuel. I doubt it's worth 20hp, but it can't hurt anything.
