I don't think they do $hit for Maximas, just waste of money.

The IM spacers work better (and come with a TB spacer anyway), but they're only for the VE and VQ35 guys.

i did make one and still have it lying around. My original plan was to make tb spacer, intake man. spacer, as well as a spacer for the secondary plenum of a mevi. I only got around to making the tb spacer. I got it dynoed and did not yield any benefits (may have even lost some horses due to it not being tuned). But my biggest concern was that it was running extremely lean. So in order for it to run properly you would need some sort of a/f controller. I now have an a/f controller but do not have time to get back to the dyno and tune it. The tbs was actually a project for school (Mechanical Engineering final project). Unfortunately, it would not be a marketable thing because you would need to spend another $300 on an a/f controller, that is why i never followed up on it; on manufacturing it at least.

As for the IM spacer...To install an IM spacer would require some extra work. The EGR tube that attaches to the rear of the IM would need to be customized as would the studs attaching the LIM to the UIM. Taller rear brackets would have to be made to accomodate the extra height of the spacer and after all that, hood clearance may be an issue.

The MEVI spacer i am still considering making. Theoretically, it would make create more volume equalling more air, but again without and a/f controller you are not getting what you should be (fuel!).
