That, my friend, is one of the coolest things I have seen on this website. No joke. Very cool. I think it will look sick installed.

You ought to let the rest of us know where you got it done, costs, etc. I would love to do that...

Thanks for the comment.

I brought the part new from Nissan which took 8 weeks to get. You might be able to find one on a wrecked 6th gen. or use your own.
You can take to a motorcycle repair shop where the send it out to get done. Thats what I did.
Price they wanted 375 but I talked them down to 250.

You're right... I suppose he could just sell it and buy a 10 year old car and mod that instead.

Nice

I don't blame you for having someone else do it, it takes forever to do by hand

get the inside worked over if you can (unless you don't care, then nevermind )

Now THAT is what a manifold should look like. I am speechless.

I like the idea of using a wreck intake but worldpartsexpress show it for $111, gasket $21. Used them before and always got NISSAN OEM.

How much time was spent removing the intake? From service manual, seems like a lot of parts to remove?

Again wow.
