thanks! 1st problem......the greedy intake is hitting the clutch master......??? WTF.......And can i scrap all those water lines that go to the old intake??

greedy intake, or intake manifold? I think the water hoses are needed, they go to theidle air control valve

yea, I see that now....I meant Greddy......its hitting the clutch master cylinder.....I will have to grind some off the back of the intake or find another master cylinder.....also, did your intake come with a new gasket? mine did not......so i just ordered the whole damn motor rebuild gasket kit.....I will powder coat the intake.....not really wanting to try and polish that thing.....how did you polish yours??

Didn't someone say (baz?) that the greddy intake showed a loss of low end torque over stock?

Post by **goichi1** » 24 Jan 2008 10:42

yea.....I already had it......so oh well.......I am sure that there is more to it than that.....if you have the right combination of turbo, intercooler ect, ect......(built motor)....and he also said..."it sure looks nice!"............

polishing was a PITA. I took a air grinder with 80grit, then proceded to 120-300-800-etc. WHen I got to around 1500, I wet sanded and then took it to a buffing wheel. ANd no I didnt have a gasket. I just bought the gaskets on ebay, OEM nissan INtake/exhuast gaket, and Throttle body gasket all I needed.

Goichi, i need your paint code! Thats the same color as my wagoon, cept the goon has a bit a green miniflake in it. Actually looks good, but I'd rather have the original color.

BTW. is that mani one of the knockoffs? I have that on my SR, but be careful. The threads pulled out on 2 of the tb bolts. Still a lot cheaper than the greddy unit tho.

Post by **goichi1** » 24 Jan 2008 18:10

its the Greddy unit, but looks like the knockoff.....I am skeptical that its the real thing.....I got it from http://www.240sxmotoring.com and paid 450 or so for it, i can't remember exactly....that is not the original color of my car, my original color is code 817, like a cream yellow, but I wanted to keep the color the PO had it, so I looked through the books and found a 70 somthing Chevy Luv yelllow i believe, i can get you the code later.......
