Almost looks like my Ford Explorer 4.0 intake.
No numbers or markings on it?

Well the lower is a DE-K, but the upper isn't a VQ that I've ever seen.

It's definitely a newer style, probably '04+, something like that (inset rubber gasket). Looks to be FWD, based on the TB location.

I'm not seeing any USDM Nissans with that manifold, gonna have to check JDM engines/models.

What were your search terms?

I dont remember what I used but what I am looking for is a lower plenum that will work for my application. I need the lower plenum top section ports to be like whats pictured above, but I need the portion that meets the block, the ports need to be shaped like that of the VQ35. If that makes sense. Its a long shot but I am hoping Nissan made such an animal

Really? The way those runners are grouped didn't look familiar to me.

I thought the 4.0 ford explorer comment was a joke too. no offense lol.

looks like an 00vi to me. I see 1 nipple but the other is broken off

The LIM looks like a stock 4th gen though because if I remember right that is where the blehmco grounding kit grounds to ~ [the two holes that are really shinny due to camera flash] And i know my 00vi LIM doesn't have those.
