Why you gotta be mean about it? I don't have as much $$$ as you, I would think.
if people don't want to help, they won't, and it will take that much longer to get this going.
But I'll get it done nonetheless.

i mean. we gotta all try to contact as many sources as possible to get this going.
no point in all of us trying to out bid each other for stuff.

I'd like to see your NOS setup and talk to you some more about it. I may still do it this year...maybe later in the year when I have the money.....
Howabout you, Jeff? You wanna come? Anyone from the NW is invited. Maybe a mini-meet?
Would be a fun afternoon....
Although I bet you'd all rather just come for the "after".
Everyone else:
I'll be ordering it tomorrow afternoon (morning NZ time).
Once again, any help with Dyno costs is greatly appreciated. If it's gonna cost me $200+ for the Dyno's, I'd rather just use my Azz Dyno 2000 to measure it. But I do want people to see results, so please help with a few bucks if you can.
And I'm NOT trying to make a cent or pay for the parts with this. I just need enough for a portion of the Dyno Costs.
E-Mail me if interested in helping the NA Guinea Pig.
Jeff92SE, could the Syndicate maybe help with this? Any word on the Dyno day in Portland on the 16th??
And MardiGras - I appreciate all you've done and all your help for everyone. This should be called the "MardiGras VI Mod".
Thanks All,
IanS

Hmmmm sounds good, but I think I'll wait. I don't want to hear the word custom. That word just means more cash flow. but this seems like an awsome mod.

This would also explain even when Kev had his manifold honed, it still didn't see much gains(still had the long runners to deal with) My $0.2 on this.
I would think for a high boost turbo application, a custom high flow short runner log type manifold would be best. But damn, that would be expensive on a V6 engine.

Ian. Down in Portland again? Hmmm I don't really have a big urge to drive down there. Maybe after my "project" is done. I haven't kept up on the dyno day. You are going to have to hop on over "there" to get info. Syndicate? I don't know those guys. You already have DaEignma, me and Matri(sp). I mean that guy is a heli mechanic! I "think" we have it covered.

You know those guys...Mike, Matt, Mike, etc....
But yes, I think we have it covered. I've got some work to do right now, but I'll be calling around during my lunch break. I hope to find somewhere local that is cost efficient.

I found a Dyno shop in Seattle that allows 6 runs for $95.00
I'll keep looking around, but this is the best price yet.
Once again...any help with cost is appreciated.

Sure I'll come with ya. NOS is out right now for emmisions testing, but I'll be putting it back in as soon as we get warm weather again. I would love to help with $$$, but I don't have a job right now. I can however offer free mechanic service...

I knew it would cost $200+ (after tax) for the Dynos.
Cheston is just lucky because he's in Cali.

I can install the VI, and just keep it turned off (RPM switch not engaged, and test that way.
Silly me. I was thinking about doing a Dyno before even installing it, then after. Nevermind that.
So it shouldn't cost more than $110 with tax. Donations once again are greatly appreciated for Dyno and Shipping costs.

Hi, here are the photos of the Collector.
All our collectors have 35U on them but they don't have the oval ports that I was told the 2.5L have.
In fact it is exactly like the pictures sent to me.
Anywhere you want me to measure to make sure.

So what hsould I have him measure???

Bad news, that pic is the wrong manifold. The one we need should say 38U. The 2.5L has round ports, we need the one with the oval ports.

I'm working it out with him right now.
Please be patient.
Apparently, someone sent him the picture Mishmosh had taken when he mistakenly got the wrong part (the 35U).
he took that picture and found one just like it. It is unfortunately the wrong one.
He's looking into it and will get back to me shortly.

Looking at Nissans Pictures the Collector has round ports but the Manifold (top left) Oval ports.

Interesting diagram. It has some inconsistencies though. The lower intake manifold has oval ports. The cut out of the butterflies to the air chamber is also likewise oval. But the gasket shown is round. Doesn't make sense. The butterfly valves will be in the shape of the ports. For the 38U, the valves are oval; for the 35U, they are round.
I'd ask him to confirm the 38U and if yes, whether or not the bottom has oval ports. There is no point in having an intake that has oval butterfly valves/opening to the air chamber, but round port openings. Functionally, that would be the same as the 35U.

Iansw,
Do you think that this source could scan in the whole schematic? Seems to cut off the part# of the intake as well as (potentially) the vacuum actuator system.
I noticed that the part# of the gasket with round holes is different from ours. In the diagram, it is labelled as 14035P and the upper-to-lower intake manifold gasket I have is part 14032-38U00.

Hi, I am sending this e-mail to everyone.
We have rung everywhere including the NZ Nissan Head Office and checked every major Nissan Wrecker and we get the same answer.
Our 3.0L V6 Maximas with Variable Air Intake have Round Ports on the Manifold that match up to the Round Ports on the Collector.
To get the Collector to fit you will need the Manifold. It costs an extra $145.00 plus the Extra in Freight.
I have been guaranteed that the Manifolds will fit your V6, I will of course still send a photo if anyone is still interested just to make sure.
Sorry not to be able to supply the same Collector as shown. The Middle East Maxima must be different than hours.
Regards
Rockie Ellmers
So what now?
I'd shell out the extra money, but could someone tell me why or why not that manifold would not work on our cars?
This is a really lame question, but where does the manifold connect to? Wouldn't whatever it connects to have oval ports?? Would a gasket solve that problem?
I don't see how you can fit a round peg into an oval hole, so to speak.

Hi People.
Sorry I haven't been able to reply for a few months. Things have happened that have meant I havent been able to come here. Just to clarify a few things I noticed while reading this thread.
1. New Zealand manufactured maximas dont have variable intake manifold. they have the same as the US.
2. NZ manufactured maximas dont have catalytic converters
3. NZ imports a lot of vehicles from japan. these have the variable intakes because they are JDM spec.
4. A JDM spec VQ25DE in a cefiro will leave a NZ VQ30DE for dead at top end.
5. JDM spec maximas (defiros) have catalytic converters.

the part that Rockie has is the wrong one. its got the round intake ports. BUT... if it IS a Variable intake runner. and if we get the lower intake manifold. then all the better.. it will still work.
Ian-- if you get the VI from rockie, you better get the lower half.. what? because oval doesnt line up with round. dohh.
