check it out....it looks like it has more functionality than the injen, fujita, stillen and any others im missing

[l33th41]

Sweet! I've always liked K&N products. Wonder if/when there will be some 3.5 love..

[Strik3r69]

Dude i'm digging that Intake...Would it fit my 4cyl. coupe also??

[adidas2go]

Tyler......bring the hammer

[ESP]

This isn't actually a K&N product, is it? I've been checking on their website and they've got nada for the Altima besides a drop-in filter.

I've always used K&N intakes for my cars so if they've got one for the A/C, I'm all over it!

[Jose3.5]

Yes it is, It's the prototype. Mike works for them but since mods here are so anal about posting other websites you'll have to look for it yourself.

[bunda4th]

From what I read on the other site that it was posted on.

The guy that work there said it won't be out until maybe 4-6 week time frame and that it would be going for less than $300 bucks.

The dyno for the car wont happen until next week and it will be only for the 2.5 engine.

I believe it will fit for the Coupe since the engine bay looks exactly the same for the sedan and coupe.

Ah! Brilliant...thanks mate!

[D-Roll]

Nice! now that's an intake...damn wish i would of waited. Wonder if they would sell the heat shield part of it separately.....

[LinkNuc]

YOu know that is what i was thinking about doing for the 3.5, we still have the scoop there even after adding an injen or whatever your flavor is, why can't we make a luke-warm intake...I do like K&N products..and I would certainly give it a shot if only there were a 3.5 version

I don’t get why you guys are so against posting links to the “other forum.” I don’t know if there is some beef or politics that I don’t know about, but isn’t a forum like this all about providing information to is members? That’s all I was doing….providing information. So what if I linked people to a different forum? If members are apart of this forum, most likely they’re members of the “other forum” as well, or at least know about it. I don’t know why this is a competition for you guys. Why not join forces or at least allow links to other forums and sites to help spread the wealth of information that others may have? I didn’t know I needed to expect grade school play yard politics from a respected website/forum like NICO.

The “other forum” doesn’t have a problem with linking you the NICO forums. In fact they WELCOME the links from the NICO forum because the mods over there are about sharing information about our cars, no matter where it comes from. I don’t know what you have against them and why you refuse to reciprocate.

Sorry for the rant, but this is something that has been bothering me since I joined the forum.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

I don't want to take away from the topic of conversation in this thread but to answer your questions....

The Nico Administration feels as a whole that if redirection of traffic to a competing forum may harm the amount of information exchanged here at home.

I understand your points and your frustration on the matter, I'm just following protocol. While I agree that members here "know"about other sites, I just don't want to give our members away to these sites. The internet is a big place, chances are you do leave Nico from time to time

If you'd like to discuss anything further I welcome you to contact either myself or an Admin via email.

If you have a reply to my post lets direct it to an email, I'd like to keep this thread on topic.

Most forums are against linking to other forums, at least the other car forums I am a member of have similar policies. Regardless, a lot of the issue we have with linking to other forums for discussion is the stability of information. We constantly run into bad links to forums and threads that contained useful information to the community that are no longer available as a whole, either by the forum being changed or sold. We have control over the information here and we sure are not going anywhere at all as our owner has no plans to sell out or change our storage and retention directive for any reason.

The above is one of the main reasons we look for members to do how-to's and document updates which we link off our tech pages. Helps make information easier to find and we can ensure it is always available to the community.

[adidas2go]

It really is a great design. Definitely the most functional of all the intakes for the a/c to date. If I weren't getting a turbo, this would be on my list to replace the injen

whats your beef with that specific "other forum" though? i mean "Please refrain from linking to competing sites (especially that one)." tells me that you (or that specific mod) doesnt like that other forum for one reason or another. in my eyes that forum is another valid forum with great information.....it isnt Joe's Blows Altima blog.

you guys are in the industry of providing a vehicle for members to swap information about a specific subject. youre not in the business of our forum has more members than yours, as SHIFT_COUPE suggests when he says "The Nico Administration feels as a whole that if redirection of traffic to a competing forum may harm the amount of information exchanged here at home."......."While I agree that members here "know"about other sites, I just don't want to give our members away to these sites." That may not reflect the ideologies of the rest of the mods on this forum, but the fact that he posted that in the forum isnt right.

running a forum shouldnt be about "giving away members." a forum is meant as something where people can "give away" information to each other.

im not knocking this forum or the mods because i love this forum and what i have learned about my car and all the information that is presented here. im just saying that if i didnt post the actual link to the other forum, and made the original post here like you wanted me to with the pictures the other person used and the same text, i would have still given him credit, saying that this member on so and so forum did this.....

I dunno.....everything just hit me the wrong way today.

So far it seems its only for the 2.5 altimas.

[dldjros69]

Group buy, haha i dont care. I will buy this the first day it comes out.

Will it mount to the 6mt?

Point out where I stated any particular forum?

Sorry, but generally linking to a thread on another forum as in "hey look at this thread" goes against the terms of service that we all follow. There are numerous reasons beside supposedly disliking another forum that include SEO link weighting, indexing and others. As I stated earlier, in the number of years I've been working on this site we have had a large issue with broken links to other forums which fully impact the amount of information that is available and found on NICO as a whole. If you want to spin that as a "us vs. them" mentality level that is fully up to you.

running a forum shouldnt be about "giving away members." a forum is meant as something where people can "give away" information to each other.

We give away information all the time and we work hard to gather as much information as we can and to make it as assessible as possible to Nissan enthusiasts. We charge nothing and give back to the community as well. If the majority of the information found here was simply links to other forums the we would be nothing but a link farm that is reliant on others. It's frustrating when you look for information and find a busted link, invalidates the usefulness of the site.

As I never saw the initial post so I can't really make any comments. We are trying to grow this forum and start gathering information for our "library" and learning as we go because each group of enthusiasts are different (G guys are different than the versa guys who are different than the 240 guys and they all need special consideration). The rule is no linking and that is what Tyler is responding to. As we learn the environment and he gets more used to the moderator position and the growing group we have here, things should sort themselves out nicely. Until then there will be some bumps.

Everyone has bad days. It happens and I'm trying to explain as clearly as possible without getting into any attitude issues. I appreciate that you are doing the same.

[adidas2go]

It wont take much to retrofit it to the 3.5. The space is there

[alphapig]

Hmm.

This is definitely replacing my Injen... Which doesn't even fit properly

**Post edited by moderator. Please refrain from linking to competing sites (especially that one).

right there where whichever mod edited the post said "especially that one" refering to that specific forum that i linked to. Whats your guys problem with that specific other forum?

yes i agree that busted links are a frustration, but the "other forum" that i linked to is a very credible forum, and is not just Joe Blow's Altima Forum. I mean its probably the second biggest Altima forum out there.

Nissanclub has proved they dislike the a/c community time and time again. They are 2nd and 3rd gen sedan guys, the a/c steps on their toes the wrong way. I tried both forums in the beginning. Nicoclub wins, hands down. Way more knowledge here.

[theoctopussi]

amen.

[dldjros69]

Aight bina it is over. Your wrong Quit ruining this thread.

I have been holding out waiting for K&N to make an intake.

I am finally going to get this.

Any New INFO???

[bina12834]

how can you say im wrong.....there is no wrong or right here.....and this is MY thread....i can ruin it if i want.

all i wanted to do was provide some information to the people on this forum, and all od this started.....if things were just left alone this all wouldnt have happened.

there may be more knowledge for the coupe here, but i think theres more knowledge for the sedan over there.....im not saying one is better than the other....i never have and never will....they both provide pertinent information about the same subject.

so just because they dont provide as much info about the coupe, means that they dislike the coupe? i dont see that as a reason to not like that forum

[dldjros69]

Wow you jacked your own thread.

Give it a rest. Go to the other forum.

LoL. With an attitude like that, maybe you should be over at Nissanclub.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Ok we are done here. The topic of this thread has veered off to a debate on our policies and it can only go further down hill from here.

To the OP, we have explained our policy. Simple as that. I welcome you to email myself or Matt (audtatious) if you have any further concerns.
