Cold air intake

maxente · Mar 9th, 2008, 08:06 AM

What cold air intake brand fits the J30 chasis best? I was searching online to get some price estimates and I could not fould one that was build exactly for the 1992 Maxima. What is the closest fitting one?

And for you guys that already have one fitted in, did you have any power loss or damage while driving in wet conditions?

in 92 there were 2 motors
which one do you have?

Ahh..sorry. I have the VG30E, on the GXE model. I actually found some cold air intakes, but they are not name-brand, not that is saying something. Thank you for replying.

you won't find name brand direct fit intake piping.

What would you recommend? Or even a better question, is it worthy the trouble to install one when I just want to improve fuel efficiency? Would it be better to get a nice filter and keep the OEM? I am not interested in "pumping" the engine up, but just to have a nice cruiser, and maybe get 1-2 MPG better.
Anyway, thanks.

Brian I am surprised that this came from you. You are one of the most knowledgeble guys on 3rd gens. Warpspeed Performance makes a cold air intake for the 3rd gen.

I don't consider them a name brand since they are pretty much only sold direct, and most people outside of the nissan community have never heard of them versus an INJEN/AEM/K&N cai.
it is not a slam against their quality though.

You coming down for maxus this year?

I know you have too much class to criticize another business.

I am planning on sunday. I hope to get some of the other guys in this area and set up a drive down together.

I had a WSP pipe on my last VE, it fit fine and worked.

I hope to see you, chances are I'll only be there on sunday as well. unless I get a car that is track worthy for the track.

seen some on ebay, but they look like crap though, but idk, 50 bucks total, worth a shot.

Brian, let me buy you a beer or two, after a couple years of internet shared input, I owe ya. If Matt could make it up it would be a perfect weekend for me. Add Mr. Gone and I have met everyone I respect on the org.

the ones on ebay are knock-offs. They may fit. Good luck. The WSP ones definitely fit.

make it a coke and we're good.
Matt has a "Z" convention to go to, and I doubt shawn will show

Wayne might, John had better be there, Josh should, don't know about others though.
Best thing we can do is spread the word.
Last year only 1 3rd gen entered the car show
