Sometimes you can read a language enough to understand it and comprehend what the other person is saying, but have trouble getting all the grammar correct when you try to answer. I hope this is the case. Only time will tell.

1. You have given a price of $469 + domestic shipping. Does this price include your profit and shipping from the ME?
2. How will you accept payment for the group deal i.e. paypal, credit card, check/money order?

I'll probably be using PayPal, unless someone can tell me a better way.

For the life of me, I still can't figure out how this intake manifold works. There are no secondary short runners like are used in the 2000-2002 Maxima, SHO, or Contour SVT. The butterflys open to the chamber, but where's the air coming from and why isn't there another set of runners? How is this possible that the intake makes more topend power when it still uses the long and poor breathing runners. The intake has been proved to work, I just don't understand the concept.

Part number list
Well, finally after emails back and forth with a Nissan dealer over seas I got the part numbers for all the pieces we need. I'm going to go to my Nissan Dealer here to see if they can order me the pieces. Just wanted to pass that on to everyone...because I remember reading that someone said if they get the part numbers they could have like Courtesy Nissan order it for us. So, just thought I would pass that on to you guys.

Very impressive research and initiation on getting this done.
Before you set up the group deal. Make sure you trust your source. Dealing with (far) overseas business/people can be ticky, especially if problems arise. You will be taking a lot of liability unless you pass that on to group deal participants. Ordering 10-20 intakes at one time, for instance, is quite a pot of cash. I'd hate to see any victimization, especially since few if any of us know how to proceed in the event that a scam is perpetrated.
In any case, your efforts are appreciated by the group (just as Roadbeast's are). Just think hard about the prospects of a GD... you may be better off just revealing the source and letting individual members deal with their own orders. I'm curious why a dealer/agent over there doesn't accept credit card. Isn't mastercard/visa worldwide? Even if they charge 3% or whatever, at least it offers some protection.

By providing a 'pouch', so to speak, for the air to sit in, closer to the actual inlet, you shorten the intake path volumetrically, a cool trick. I'm sure someone can pipe in and clarify, cause I'm no expert on this. The shorter intake runners are better, but this is nice.

You are correct. When the butterflies open, all the runners are then connected within the secondary plenum. The effective runner length then becomes the runner section between the butterflies and the engine (very short and a straight shot down). The effective plenum volume then becomes the main plenum plus all the runners between the main plenum and butterflies plus the volume of the secondary plenum (ie the effective plenum volume becomes very large).

Please keep us posted on the part numbers needed for this project and verification that Courtesy can order these parts. I would much rather pay more, get something from a reputable shop in state shop, than order from some place that doesn't speak English.

OK...I'm not hearing anything new from this guy. I think he's getting mad and frustrated because of the language barrier and the time difference.
I know I am.
I'm still 90% sure he'll come through, and I'll get my part.
This guy owns his own parts store, and I have seen pictures of the product (in the store even), so like I said, I'm pretty sure there will be no problems.
So the question is this:
Would anyone be willing to do a GD on this part with the understanding that it is a risk?
Just to be sure, I would like to do the first GD with only 5 people that would be of the understanding that if this guy screws us over, I am not liable for the fallout. That means you are trusting me and this guy with your money.
Of course, once I get the part, that eliminates 99% of any forseeable problems with him, as he will have come through with me. But you have to trust me.
Some of you know me, some don't. It's up to you. I make good money in my own right, and have no reason to screw anyone.
I'm mostly just worried that if I send him the money for 20 intakes, that gives him more incentive to run with the money. Also, since there are NO refunds from him, that seems to be too much of a risk for my integrity if things go bad, and I don't want to be responsible for that. But then again, he has stated he does not want 50 people E-Mailing him for this part from the US. So I am sort of forced to be the supplier for now.
I know this sounds shady, and I swear to god it isn't. (Insert flame here) I will wire him the money as soon as I get it from you all. But I can't be responsible for what this guy does. You have to basically trust him through me. You will, in trade, be the first 5 people to get this.
What I'm basically saying is that the first few of you that get this from me, do so at your own risk. I just can't guage how trustworthy this guy is, although he seems legitimate. I will be able to guage moreso when I get my parts, if they are all the parts I ordered.
But I don't feel comfortable right now sending him $4000+ that is not my own money.

arggggh!!!!! i got nowhere i have to put down a $250 dollar deposit for parts dept to order the parts. and the parts guy said that we chouldn't get a price on the parts. so i have no idea how much it will cost. i don't want to putthis order in because i am affraid it may come out to be more than the current price which would be gay. the only things is that the parts i will get will be brand new. the parts guy said that this is way they get the parts for the sentra motors SR20(DET) like the exuast manifolds for the turbos so sorry guys i got nowhere lets see how everyone else is doing.

GOOD NEWS!
I have probably found them for about $400 + S&H.
They are not too sure about freight costs but this is part of the message I got.
"Weight will be about 5-10 kilos. Freight around $100 but not sure.
Engine VQ30D model A32 for 85-90 model quantity available
stamp 38 U"
Price quote was Dh 1475 however I think they may have excluded one part number "08310-61462" is the one they probably excluded anyone know what that is? The intake cover and the collector Manifold seem to be the most expensive of the bunch being $100 and $220 respectively.
It would be easier to simply ship everything from there directly to you guys since I dont want 30 pieces of this showing up
I could probably get one sent within the next 3 days for someone who is willing to be a guinea pig. Sending the money should not be a problem you can either send it to me via paypal or to them directly makes no difference.
If anyone likes I can try and get some pictures but I doubt that will happen in a timely manner.

Price quote was Dh 1475 however I think they may have excluded one part number "08310-61462" is the one they probably excluded anyone know what that is? The intake cover and the collector Manifold seem to be the most expensive of the bunch being $100 and $220 respectively.
It would be easier to simply ship everything from there directly to you guys since I dont want 30 pieces of this showing up
I could probably get one sent within the next 3 days for someone who is willing to be a guinea pig. Sending the money should not be a problem you can either send it to me via paypal or to them directly makes no difference.
If anyone likes I can try and get some pictures but I doubt that will happen in a timely manner.
I have probably found them for about $400 + S&H.
They are not too sure about freight costs but this is part of the message I got.
"Weight will be about 5-10 kilos. Freight around $100 but not sure.

Forgot to add that I doubt the shipping weight is 5-10 kgs but the freight rate seems accurate.
I am assuming that it will be sent by some sort of sea post and the distributed via land through a ground carrier. I will have to check up on that. Lead time looks like 3 weeks from time of order to your doorstep.

When you said 85-90 model is that the year your talking about??? Because that is going to work on the 4th gen. We would need a 95-99 but I think they actually started making it in 96. Only concern on the part.

As for pictures I doubt they will get it to me. But as long as those part numbers you have me are accurate it should not be a problem (I've known this guy all my life and still go seem em every couple of years). He is not the dealer itself but knows people who work there thus the problem of no pictures.

. If I where able to get someone to do this for me for free I gladly would. However the nearest Dyno facility I know off is a good 130 miles away and I dont plan on going there till middle May, so there would be no way to test and verify the HP increase.Base cost is just over $400 Shipping is a different matter just depends on how soon you want it. I am quite sure that the entire kit would weigh at least 35 pounds (just from the pictures I saw of it). I could have a kit @ your place by this Tuesday if you wanted it sent via Fedex from the ME. Not sure about the cost of that though. I know it will be quite expensive. I will talk to my friend about shipping costs since that is his primary business.
As for payment either send me the money or wire it to them directly makes no difference to me. Though paypal would have to add the 5% fee or whatever it is.
BTW I thought the NZ ones where not compatible with US Maxs?

Got one more question for you... so are these parts all new or are they used. Do you know if your friend could find a used one in like a salvage yard or junkyard. Maybe get the peice a little cheaper???

Yeah the NZ one isn't but I sent the money the end of Feb. while he was getting the piece...and then when he got it and sent pictures it was the wrong one. Because, I was working with him and had sent him the money he was going to try a few different outlets. And if nothing turned up he would send me the money back. So, I'm going to check his progress today.
