Other than the few 92-94SE, 95/96 and (very few) 97-99 applications we have left, there will be no more of the Place Racing-style CAIs. PR went out of business almost 2 years ago, and we've been selling off their remaining inventory, but those are just about gone.
We could make them again, but the lower tubes are difficult to fabricate, and there was always an unacceptably high number of customers who ran into installation difficulties. Nothing wrong with the parts, but its a long and involved installation process, and 10-20% of those attempting it seemed to run into difficulties. When the work was taken to a garage, the "mechanics" often screwed up the installation as well (wouldn't read the instructions, cut the hole in the wrong place, etc).
I'll also add that the later CAI applications, 02/03 in particular, aren't easy for anyone to install, they have to be installed VERY precisely because the space is severely restricted in the newer engine compartment.
Anyway, the upshot is that when the installation efforts flounder, the next conclusion is that the wrong part's been sent or there's something wrong with it. Looking at it from the our perspective, I hope you can see why this discourages us from carrying the part.
We are in the process of developing a new line of intakes, though the final designs haven't been decided upon. They probably will not replicate the PR design for the reasons mentioned plus the need to cut a hole in the fender-top, which discouraged many from that choice.
We've always sold our Cattman Combo intake, which combined the upper tube assembly from the PR CAI design with either a JWT POP intake assembly or a Monsterflow/MAF adapter. Despite a variety of imitators, this design remains popular and its what I run in my '02. We're out of the upper tubes for 97 and later Maximas right now, but will definitely be going forward with new production on this part for the gen4 and 5 Maximas. We're getting some quotes for converting this part from tubular steel to a hi-tech composite material.

The biggest problem with short-ram intakes is that if there isn't a velocity stack in the base of the intake, the turbulance of the air is a real power-killer as it buffets the hotwire. We've demonstrated this easily on the dyno, using a plain K&N filter with a MAF adapter, vs a Jim Wolf POP intake (with a very nice velocity stack). They're both short ram intakes, but the naked K&N filter generated a much more jagged/erratic power curve on the dyno, and the JWT intake consistently made 2-3 more HP.
Our combo intakes come with either the JWT intake or the Monsterflow, which also has an integrated velocity stack. We're about out of the Monsterflows we inherited from Place Racing, and I think we'll switch over to a very nice S&B filter that also integrates a nice velocity stack in its base.

I should have thought to offer it in the opening thread, but I'll be glad to send a copy of the instructions to anyone who wants them. Just send me a PM with your email address and I'll flick back an attachment.

I'm interested in the RSB. Do you ship to Canada?

Sure, almost every day. We usually send the 95-03 RSB via USPS Airmail Parcel Post for $40 and the 04+ for $35, but since these prices are prepaid in within the US, we'll pay the first $10 of any international (or 2-day, or overnight, etc.) shipping.
So, if you wanted the 95-03 RSB, the delivered cost to Canada would be $149. When sending USPS, it doesn't matter what your postal code is, same price throughout the country. There also aren't any brokerage fees!

Hey Brian - Paypal sent for one Progress RSB for an '02!
To any's - I've bought from & spoken with Brian over the past few years &
have never received anything but the best in products & service. I'm sure anyone who's
ever dealt with him would say the same!

It's too bad on the Place Racing CAI. I have one and installed it without too much difficulty a couple years ago. I can see how people would run into trouble though. I have some 3" .065 wall stainless steel and plan to rebuild the top section because of some inconsistencies with the PR one. The lower pipe would be tough to build. Two mandrel bends tig welded together, not a task for the newbie fabricator. I can also speak for Brian's customer service and products. Y pipe was great Brian, thanks.

The Progress camber kit is simply a pair of indexable camber bolts; each replaces one of the two lower strut mount bolts on either side of the car. They allow approximately +/- 1.5 degrees of camber adjustment, a bit more than the physical limitations of Maxima camber plates due to the small opening in a relatively tall strut tower.
The camber bolts are simply a different approach to doing the same thing (as a camber plate). Instead of moving the top of the strut rod in and out, a cammed bolt adjusts position at the lower mounts. The difference in the point of leverage means that the top of the rod has to physically move quite a bit farther than the lower mounts to produce the same camber adjustement.
They don't adjust for toe, nor do most camber plates. Some would argue there isn't much need - if any - for toe adjustment (outside of factory alignment specs) in front wheel drive cars.
As far as the differences between bolts and plates...
Bolts provide more camber adjustment, but don't look as cool as plates
Bolts are more inconvenient to access, but they don't tend to shift or come loose like the little camber plate adjustment nuts do.
Bolts are a lot less expensive and you don't have to dismount the entire strut assembly to install them
I've used both plates and bolts, and maybe the most important difference to me is that CAMBER BOLTS DON'T RATTLE, DON'T GET SLOPPY, AND DON'T DRIVE ME FRIGGIN CRAZY LIKE EVERY CAMBER PLATE I'VE EVER OWNED!

Our throw-shortening shifter kit for the 02+ Maxima 6-speed is $150, and I'll include shipping within the US. I highly recommend installing it along with the Energy Suspension shifter bushing kit, which is an additional $19.
The difference these kits make is pretty amazing.

That's exactly right, $288 brings the 6-speed throw-shortening kit, the ES shifter bushing set, and of course the Progress RSB to your door. PayPal is fine, or give us a call.

These are great prices! Too bad I already have my Progress RSB & springs.
It's been a long time since I've order from Brian (I think it was a y-pipe for my turd gen back in 2000), but I know that he runs a top-notch operation and that I'll be ordering my cat-back soon enough!
