R36 Cold Air Intake

[mikinoz]

Welcome old mate. How many days this week has your wife coughed up the keys?

I am unsure how hard it would be to modify the R32 modshack unit from rennenhaus. I modified one for a MKV TDI quite simply.

Mine is currently off the car if you want to dummy something up...

$1130 for a CAI...

[revhead]

80,000 yen is approx $1,130 lus $12,000 yen shipping $165.00 and if you are lucky it will slip through customs otherwise add $113.00 duty, then GST onThe freight , duty and the goods $141.00 and customs charge $56.00 and broker fee $125.00 plus warehousing $75.00. Total $1,850.00.
This has happened to me on other things I have imported, sometimes the goods get through but anything over $1,000 has duty, GST etc added.

I know, expensive ain't it? I mean for air filters....

those power gain look abit hard to believe for just air filter / box mod.
especially when power out is ~300ps!!

That is just stupid!!! Im sure that if you go to any engineer he'll be able to make a proper CAI that goes down to the bumper. CAIs are not worth $500 let alone almost $2000!!!!

^ what he said...

LOL... I'm sure there's a bit of engineering in it (I assume there's a MAF sensor mounted somewhere on the intake tract), but almost $2K for a CAI is ludicrous.
