Ok... I don't get it... at $379 from Courtesy who needs a GD!!!! I just came across some email from July 2002 when I was first considering this mod. At the time this was a "great" GD and the ONLY way to get one of these little preciousesssss!!!
"""No problem...I'm glad to answer any question you might have. The way that it works is he orders it once he gets the money. So, it is about a 4-5 week wait to get the VI to you from when you send the payment he gets the part in about 3 weeks and then he ships it EMS (3-5 days) or sea frieght (25-35 days). He insures everything so if you are missing something or it is damaged he can replace it. The are all new parts.
MO and check,
VI: $550
VI and Cover: $620
Pay Pal have to add like 2.9% to that
VI: $566
VI and Cover: $638
That is shipped EMS
Subtract about $70 dollars if you want it by sea.
But that is with our current exchange rate."""
Add to that the extra install parts and you're getting well over $800. Something to think about!

I'm sure you are correct to some extent that someone made money on that old deal ... The point I was trying to get across was that this thing has become far cheaper to aquire than before. Two years ago they came on a slow boat from china...errrr..japan , and the shipping costs (transport,documentation,bonding?,customs,duties,e tc) were a huge part of the price. I'm not sure how the distribution system for Nissan parts works now, but someone has to be adding these to a regular parts order from Japan, therefore the cost per unit is minimal.
All that said, if you can put this together at a better price than Courtesy offers then that would be a wonderful thing! If you can do it with all the extra bits needed to make this thing go...then my hat is off to you.
Cheers!

Have you look at the past post on this tread.
Where 8maxblackwind said he is trying to get all the parts for MEVI (not just what courtesy gives) for a price equal if not below what courtesy has.

Hmmmm...
Something for you to think about....
If you'd have read my ENTIRE post, not just look at the pictures, you'd have seen that it was refering to what was available TWO years ago.
That kit was the same as what you would get from Courtesy today, it would have cost you $620 and you would have still needed the extra $100 - $200 (depending on what you use and where you get it) in parts required to complete the install.
The point of the whole thing was that the MEVI is far less expensive a modification than it has been in the past.
I have also said that if 98maxblackwind can pull this together complete with all the extra parts at a $ less than Courtesy is asking, then I applaud the effort.

...except the MEVI beside my desk is waiting for a JWT ECU.

No other hardware necessary, I think that even the RPM switch was provided(not sure). Now it's $430 and add another $150 or so for the extra parts and you come out to about the same price.

For those who are new to this tread. let me explain what it is, in one sentence.
This is a group deal we are trying to get (as the title says) of a complete MEVI for our 4th gen maximas. as of right now we are waiting on 98maxblackwind connections to get the complete MEVI for something around $400-550 (correct me if I'm wrong) and probably there will be no instalation isntructions. If you search on the forum you can find good instalations.
Thank You
and welcome All new commers.

The mod is not for me, 99's dont have ECU's to get the full benefit. But don't get me wrong, the top end with an MEVI is great even without the ECU. I just don't use the mod enough to get the money's worth. If you have an ECU, GET THIS MOD!!!

well at any rate i apogize for the lack of updats these past few weeks. started a new job and have been trying to adjust to life(outside the military) so my time has been taken up. ill be hot on this again come monday. you have my word. :thumbs:
