Removed Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Just received it today from Kinetix. Looks a much better quality item compared to the V4, also better designed coolant hose "connector" solution compared to the V4. Brand new, just opened the box to check it's in order and no parts are missing. For sale since I decided to go the plenum spacer route. £250 + shipping no offers, or can collect. Full instructions included but I will also offer advice/help if you want to attempt a diy installation, I did. First to PM will get it. from the Kinetix website: "Detailed Description NEWLY RELEASED V+ intake plenum for the 350Z and G35 20 with new LOWER PRICE !! Imrpoved in EVERY aspect over our previous intake plenum, including performance: * 270% stronger than previous plenum * Incredible heat resistance, improved 170%, now up to 500 degrees F * Lower operating temperatures - 50 degrees cooler than ANY aluminum plenum option * More volume! 20% more volume than factory and 12% more than our previous version * Completely smooth underside with NO flow restrictions * Can handle boosted cars, with lifetime warranty on cars up to 15 psi * Lifetime Warranty * Check out our upcoming "Upgrade Program" for our previous plenum customers! This new intake plenum replaces the upper half of your factory intake manifold. This plenum bolts directly up to your car with zero modifications, and also allows the use of the factory strut bar, and engine cover. This unit will fit the 350z, the G35, and the FX. *** engine cover may not fit with the G35 or the FX35 ** This plenum increases the volume to the middle and more importantly the front cylinders. The factory plenum utilizes a very aggressive angle as it caps off the front cylinders. This new plenum equalizes the flow to all cylinders, while also increasing the total plenum volume. This plenum also uses a very versatile plastic to achieve a smooth interior for superior flow properties. The plastic also allows a lighter overall weight, by about 3 lbs. The overall temperatures of the plenum have also decreased by about 50 degrees farenheit. This helps with heat soak problems and to help lower air intake temperatures. Our plenum has shown a solid peak gain of 14 rwhp and a consistent gain throughout the RPM range. When matched up with our high flow cats, they together have shown peak gains of 20 rwhp. The plenum still retains all factory mounting points and also includes all necessary new hardware. The plenum also includes a permanently adhered flange gasket that is to be used with the factory gasket as well as a new throttle body gasket. Look for our package with our SMOG legal high flow cats for package savings. ** This plenum includes a lifetime warranty on manufacturer's defects. This will include any failure in the material used which may effect its ability to create a seal. We will also offer a new gasket service for a minor fee to replace any gaskets that have been damaged during installation or repetitive installations."

Guest prescience Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Well it costs $300, shipping is about $70 (when I got mine). Kinetix mark it as being valued at $100 (well they did with mine and my cats) so thats $490 which is about £255 - and that's shipped to your door and assumes you pay 20% fees on the $100 value. So its close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Here's one back then - you can probably import it cheaper no you can't, $300 plus shipping plus 25% vat and customs. I did calculate that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buds Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I think all Dorian was saying, was for someone who felt disappointed cos they missed out due to quickness of sale, that the alternative would be similarily priced. But obviously inherrent to all risks associated with importing of any goods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
