thanks, it's actually not bad at all man - took me like 10 minutes, and i didn't even have a 3 inch drill bit.

i just removed the fuse box, set the intake tube on top of where it would be going to, traced the outline with a red sharpee and used a really small drill bit to go around the outline. actually really easy & doesn't take long, trust me u should do it - the short ram was how i had mine setup at first cuz i was worried about drilling into the car - but after about a week, i figured "screw it, i put this in by myself so far, i can drill a hole"

NISSAN runs awesome on cold air.. & that short ram does no good unless u have a heat shield. without a shield it just catches all the heat from the engine bay.

down in the wheel well it gets nothing but cool, clean air. have had no problems with hydro-lock, and i wont.. LOL only way to really have that happen is if you are in about 2 feet of water & smash on the throttle. other than that, it doesn't have enough suction to pull water in to it, especially thru the K&N cone filter being sealed.

THats pretty ingenuous man. I like it.

I know u mean about the heat. what a lotta of us did was keep the stock intake funnel installed to direct cold air onto the intake, effectively creating a cold zone behind the battery. It works nice. When i tested it out after an hr drive to boston, the entire intake was cool to the touch while the engine was still warm.

Honestly you can leave it out or just slip the cone filter over the air temp sensor. Not to be a D but you did buy a ebay intake(Which I know many members have). They aren't always going to be built correctly.
