I was talking with the guys at Courtesy, VIs will be there within 2 weeks. Price is approximately 350 + tax/shipping. This includes EVERYTHING NEEDED, includign the switches etc... he's not sure whether the gasket is included though.... I just wanted to give you guys a heads up on what's going on. I'll post more details next week

 

that's a heck of a price!!

I'm in on this if the price is really that low

 

how about giving us a part number?

 

yeah thats exactly what i'm checking out tomorrow, making sure part #'s match up........

 

find out EVERYTHING that comes in it and all the PN's

that is a good price, but if everything is not in the kit then it might not be worth the hassle.

 

350?!?

 

My credit card will be hurting if this is true. If it is not true you will be hurting.

 

I really hope its true

 

WTF are you serious? If this is true aint that a Bisch I ordered one already oooh well.

 

don't worry, i'm not pulling your leg, only letting ya guys know waht the parts guys @ courtesy are telling me, he showed me the blowup pic of the vi, and it LOOKS like it's all there, but like i said, i'll confirm the part #'s.

 

I'm glad I took the time to try locating one on my own (never succeeded). I guess its worth the wait for this to come along

 

i really hope this is serious cause im about to join a group deal on one. please show me some hard evidence

 

depends on waht the VI is worth to you...

and seximagtr do you know about shipping?

 

no clue bro..... i'm sure it will be no different than ordering anything else from courtesy parts

 

find out if they can get that nice engine cover too please..... IMO the VI in the engine looks ugly without it...

 

WTF $350 glad i paid $650 for mine

 

Everything for $350? Wonder what they'll use for an RPM trigger. Can't see how they can pull it off but....

 

Glad i didn't order mine yet.

 

WoW!! 350 is pretty good. I hope we can also get the covers that go along with it.

 

Call me the group skeptic, but it all sounds too good to be true. The OEM US-spec manifold is ~$900 from Nissan and that's without gaskets. I don't know how Courtesy is able to get everything for the VI at $350. Something just isn't adding up because how can $350 even cover the Courtesy's costs for the VI? They sell a B-pipe for $220, but they can sell the VI for $350? I would have thought at least $800.

Just posting to get updates on this thread.

For $350 this would be the best hp/tq bang for your buck! Heck, I was about to even do it for $650. Still will if this falls through....

 

Sounds too good to be true, hope it's not.

 

Count me in if goes through.

 

HOLY COW! That's a GREAT PRICE!!!!!!!!!!

 

I know the Nissan Cost, and it's way above $350, not including switches.

I highly doubt this is true.

But if it is, that will rock for the Maxima community.

true, the cost of the parts from Nissan is higher than 350, I'm not sure how they manages it... even if it is more expensive... shipping will be alot cheaper

even with the GDs, the profit margin isnt very fat... dont see how they shaved 300 bones off the price

 

True that. I saw one for the first time a few weeks ago. I had no idea it looked like that. Really odd looking. Although, it can look as goofy as it wants, I still want one. I would definatly get the cover. Wonder if I can get a Infiniti one?

 

Shiet!!!

I just paid 697 for mine. It pays to be patient if this price is for real....

 

It costs Nissan more than $350 to make VIs. Not to mention Nissan STILL has a policy that forbids them from shipping VIs to the U.S. There have been a few people successfull at getting a few of them thru private transactions...but they're not dealerships. A dealership will never be able to get their hands on them...especially in quantity.

I'll beleive it when I see it. Until then, I'm calling bullsh*t

 

what the f#$k? $350 with the switch ,i though the kit itself already cost $140,not to mention the VI with cover from the GD $650, ,how could they pull such a great deal together for $350,just too hard to believe,but if that is true than the max will be smoookiiing alota car out there,

 

i smell used stock 5th Gen Manifold coming up

 

I smell bullsh!t.

 

i would like to see 500 but 350.. hmm

 

Well, even if it is true I already ordered from iansw and a deal's a deal.

Make sure it's not the visually identical but non-working one that some guys here got from road-beeatch. Something about oval ports versus round ports?

 

ok guys.. after reading this thread.. i think its time to calm down..

it has to be misinformation.. there is no way they can be selling htem for $350 unless they are a) wrong part b) used..

lets calm down and not decide to jump get mad that we overpaid..

i mean jeez.. even 95 - 99 fog lights are $2XX .. and you think a manifold will be $350? thats why i want the part number.. so i can check with my dealership..

but how did you know what part to tell them? did you just say japanese maxima? did you show them diagrams? what exactly did you tell them? this might answer a lot of questions..

 

once again darren.. good points all around... wow.. i am actually agreeing with JoO... hmmm something must be wrong..

 

yup, they have the blueprints on the computers, that's what they showed me.... looks exactly like the VI in the cars on the org... i'm stopping by after class today, which is about 12 o clock central..... it's 7:48 right now

 

guys I can't find a complete part listing, please someone post it here/email me/pm.... thanks i need this quick.

 

what is the part number for the real vi???

 

here you go...
