why would friday have counted as a holiday?

 

VQUICK, so what's the scoop? How is it? Gains....Losses? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

Well I already had a hacked airbox and had removed my resonator, so the sound is similar except now it comes from deeper in the engine bay. Does make a nice quiet whistling noise at idle (from outside) and if you floor it you'll hear a nice sucking noise just before the engine revs.

An intake is an intake for the most part; the CAI's true strength is in the summer where it cuts intake air temp significantly. Since it's about freezing here and I won't be driving at all once they start salting the roads, I don't have much to say about performance, sorry. I will say that I haven't noticed any loss of throttle response whatsoever, which was a concern of mine. Also, a CAI will flow better (smoother path) than the stock box and resonator jumble so it should result in a small performance gain over stock.

 

Well well, im expecting my cai anytime now but ma car broke down last night, so first repair it then ill put it in.
It SUCCKKSSS BIG TIME NOT KNOWING WHATS WRONG WITH IT!!!

 

Orlando, what happened to the car?

 

UPS sometimes has a holiday schedule after a big holiday. Friday only Air and International packages were being Delivered. Kinda weird, but understandable. The roads were crazy on Friday. It was the biggest shopping day of the year. I was at Best Buy at 5:00am and there were a couple thousand people. Got some Damn good deals though. Anyways let me know if you have any more questions.

Greg

 

Okay Greg, we'll be patient.

 

still waiting...

 

How do I pay with PayPal? who do I send to.

 

i got an email today about my shipping information. hopefully it'll come soon!!!!

 

Same here...

 

about the tracking number...do we have to call cattman?

 

i've been waiting for over 2 weeks and still havent seen mine or got a tracking number...

 

I just ordered a blue one for my 2k3 se. I was told the orders get processed once a week and then it takes 7 to 10 days after to get the product at my door. I figure for the discount we are getting, slow shipping is no biggie.

 

you get what you pay for. you got free shipping so you got slow shipping.

 

isn't it 5 bucks for shiping?

 

yup...but its not even that...dont get me wrong this is an awsome deal, but after waiting over 2 weeks since it shipped out, couse its been 3 weeks since i ordered it...i would just like a tracking number.

 

Hey Les, did you have them ship your intake to me? Because I got two. One had your name on it!! Just joking!!

No, I haven't recieved mine either. I have been out of town for the past week. If I do get it before Friday and installed, I have a dyno pull scheduled for TrackMasters (SOW) on Saturday and my final run at the HSV Track at Test-n-Tune on Sunday.

So, the size hole that will need to be cut is a 3.5" dia? Someone please confirm this.

 

I just found out it was the MAF, called Dave the guru parts guy and it'll be here tomorrow, after that its CAI time!!!!

 

i think its 3" from what ive read.
For 2000-2001 inst. you can go to www.geocities.com/nismorg/Maxima/cai.html

 

still waitin for mine too.....

 

Im sorry but the link is broken so if anyone needs more detailed instructions cattman send me the ones for 4th gen and the ones fro 2000-2001
If anyone needs them just post your email and which one you need and ill email them to you!

 

Well, the reason I was asking is that I went ahead and ordered a 3" dia hole saw. My local Sears store did not have one so I ordered one. I have a whole set of hole saws but they did not go up to 3".

 

The link is up again fellas, but thats only for 2000-2001, i have the 4th gen one, i dont know if its the same or close to the same for 2002-2003!!

 

Elon, you still up for a get together when they come in? What time are you scheduled for at SOW on Sat? I have crap to do Sat night, but I think I am free Sat morning. I just have a feeling that I will need an extra set of hands for the install, or at least another brain to make sure I do not do something stupid like use the saw on the battery. j/k

 

I will PM you on when mine comes in. It has got to come in tomorrow or Thursday. I have taken my stock airbox and such apart so many times I could do it in my sleep. Yours shouldn't be too much different from mine. The only thing difficult will be cutting the hole. (That is why I have the hole saw on the way). I will be installing mine in the afternoon of the day it comes in, so you are welcome to join in. I have a 4 car garage so putting them side by side won't be a problem.

Question for the group, will the filters be arriving ready for use? (i.e. pre oiled and ready for install)

 

Just call cattman directly at 1.800.759.9920 and tell Nancy you want to order the place CAI from the Maxima.org Group deal. She'll hook you up.

 

The hole gotta be 3.25", i just checked!

 

4:20 still nothing!

 

i got the cleaner solution today, but not my intake!!!

 

I just ordered mine today!!!! Hopefully I get it soon!!! but Im not in too much of a hurry.. Is the cleaner solution always going to be 25 bucks or is that on sale too?

 

3" is really not big enough. I used a 3.5" hole saw and it's just perfect. Once you add the plastic/rubber edge protector (included) to the hole, there's just a tiny bit of play to allow movement of the tube as the engine moves but not enough to allow much engine bay air down where the filter is.

3.25" might work but I'd really go with 3.5". With a 3.0" hole you will not be able to use the rubber edge protector and you'll scratch the intake tube on the sharp edges of the hole. Sorry I don't have pics of the hole I made.

 

I ordered mine today i cant wait

 

sorry for not keeping up with this posting, when does this buy end again?

 

sorry, but it ended about 2 and a half hours ago. Today was the last day. I only made it by about 5 minutes

 

cattman sent me a form email stating the intakes have still yet to be shipped.

 

They will probably accept paypal payments up until midnight

 

yep got it too...fuken A
what can ya do, just wait

 

BRIAN CATT'S EMAIL:

To our CAI group deal customers,

If you're receiving this email, its because although Place Racing
informed us that the batch of orders yours was a part of would be
shipped before they shut down for Thanksgiving week (meaning shipped
on or before 19 November), we determined yesterday that your order
will not be shipped until this week. We told everyone what we
believed to be true, that these would go out by the 19th, but I'm
afraid we were all let down.

I can't express how embarrassed we are about this. We pride
ourselves in our customer service, but since this group deal is based
upon shipping directly from the Place Racing warehouse, we're
dependent on their very limited staff to get the orders shipped. We
had a very definite agreement with them about how the shipping was to
be handled, and they have not kept up with the schedule. Everyone's
parts will of course be shipped, but we are very sorry that the
timing hasn't worked out as expected.

I found a way to access the tracking numbers for your orders, so as
soon as those are available, Greg or I will send them to you via
email. Place Racing has committed to getting them out in the next
couple of days and we will be very closely monitoring the situation.

All we can do at this stage is to offer our sincere apologies. Greg
Nanez is handling the group deal and a lot of the related
correspondence, but I wanted to address this problem myself.

Brian C Catts


It sucks but what can we do???
Brian has been very good at replying at each ones questions and concerns, but anyway the price is too good to be complayning about 1 or 2 more weeks!!

 

So if we didn't get the dreaded e-mail, does that mean that it's still on the way? Oh well, I probably can't install it until next week anyway. Still on the look out!
