for everyone who just ordered one and payed more, don't be mad...you guys and the people before you were the test monkies and made everyone else see they work and got the details worked out. no one has gotten the courtesy one yet so it's not 100% definate...so be mad once they get them, but think you still have one and were the first to get them. it's still not that much money and obviously you thought it was worth it to pay that much...so enjoy it, some of us get better deals down the line than others, it's the way it works!


i really need a job and start saving for fun stuff like this!

is everyone planning on putting them in themselves or paying someone to do it? i assume lots of you will be doing it yourselves and helping each other out. we should have meets for installing them.

So, let me get this something straight...

When someone orders, what do they order? the "vi" and everything that comes with it? Is it a package deal or do yuo have to order part by part?

they're not. you still have to use something like the Harlan RPM switch.

What is the 'support piece' that is missing from their DB? Can it be easily fabricated by someone with metalworking tools/welder/grinder?

SMX dont be mad if the ME VI they sell runs $380 shipped or what ever price they will sell I was thinking to myself we only paid but $490 for it. thats only $110 more dollars. Besides Cranman is a very nice dude. When baggs had trouble with his Cranman got on the phone with him and gave him support and ge got his working. I highly doubt that courtesy will do that. I know so for a fact cause I called those clowns for a suspension issue that I had about 2 years ago. Like someone earlier discussed a deal is a deal. I am 27 years old and what ever. You guys if courtesy gets this Manifold you guys jump on this shyt and enjoy it. It is a very good mod and if your boosted game on.

Holy crap!!!

I'm with Ian here I don't know how they pulled out such a good price. I can't wait til some max owners get the VI from them to make sure it is legit. Because the price that my supplier is getting them for is like ~$450+shipping (~$90). So, that is an incredible price. Unless they are getting parts at cost and selling them that way. I think if they get them in stock and they are truly that much. This should be the first mod for any 4th gen Maxima.

exactly... and an even better analogy would be for each and every one of us to look down at the computer we are using, and ask how much it is worth today versus how much it cost us

.....as someone else said also.....I am curious to know what kind of rpm switch they are going to use.

yea but these VI's haven't even been out for like a year right?

Iansw and cranman's group deals went for like 560 shipped or something (not sure if with cover or without). But this is 380 + shipping + the switch and that metal thing missing. We are talking like atleast 60 bucks for shipping right? then the switch may run 20 to 50 bucks and that metal thing who knows.

Before we call this a super deal we should see how much everything would cost with shipping and parts missing.

I still think it would be a good deal because they are a dealership selling this at that price and normally dealerships try to make a high profit margin. But as far as price difference betweent his and the other guys, i don't think its THAT much of a difference....

don't let the 380 blind u
