Most of 'em already have trouble following our untuned/stock IM 4.5 gens...
Paradoxally, the 15-second Honda owners seem to be the most arrogant ones, doing huge overkill burnouts on their way to a 2.434 60 foot and 3 revlimiter-bouncing shifts. I've talked to a few all motor and turbo 12 & 13 second Honda owners and they seem alot more mature than the average I/E Si with a fartcan...

If it was then it be "pretty much" a direct bolt on for any 02+ Maxima.
And use links provided 
Don't be lazy

I own a manufacturing company - we do custom and OEM. send me what info you feel comfortable giving out and I'll see how feasable it would be for me to mfg for you.

Ok didnt really bother to read anyones post after first couple ones, so if this has already been said, then sorry. But here it is,
For the Kinetix plenum you are talking about the new one from them, the SSV correct? Kinetix SSV is MUCH smaller then a crawford plenum. On the Z the kinetix fits under the stock strut bar, and IMO is crap. It gives horrible #s, some ppl did not even see a gain in it. In all honesty it is all show no power. Now the crawford is noticeable gains and power. It does not fit under the stock strut, which is why they sell the strut for it, which goes to the side of the intake manifold, instead of going over it. The crawford is much bigger and if a kinetix plenum will not even fit, the crawford will def not fit.

I wonder what the difference is, though. The intake ports in the heads are the same, maybe it is only a height difference.

Is that correct krismax? I've seen this on my350z, and altimas.net
And if there's a height difference, hoefully it's in our favor.

I know that I have repeated the concern about hood clearance problems with installing the 350Z intake manifold onto a Maxima VQ35 engine, but does anyone know this for a fact?
The reason I ask is that when the 5th gen Maxima arrived on the scene, people said exactly the same thing about installing the 00vi onto a 4th gen VQ30.

It would not be that bad.

from the above pic it almost looks like it would be better to have an adapter to exten forward and just a bit to the drivers side, wouldnt be that far away from the stock position, anyone else see that?

Been there done that. You need the Z33 LIM if you want to install a Z33 plenum.

Why don't you guys go full upper sheet metal with velocity stacks, vacuum adapted with adapter plate with nipples, lower IM with the upper flange trimmed and retrofitted to the upper sheet metal. A bit like individual throttle bodies with the oem upper and lower manifold flanges??
A bit of fab but you guys over the states have done a lot of R&D.
My idea...
