[musclesgabe]

i just got another 240sx after my old one was totalled and i saw all these intakes on ebay like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...38634 that are cheap for the full intake. whats up with these? anyone have any experiance with them or know if its worth it?

thanks, glad to be back on here after 2 years and have a 240 again

Well I think my 240 came with one. The kid I bought it off of was big into e-bay. It seems to work just fine. I switched out the air filter for a better one. Just keep an eye on shipping. You may get the CAI for $22 and have to pay $35 in freight. But if you want a cheap intake pick it up. It has all the hook ups you need.

I got mine off Ebay for my s13 for $51 shipped. It seemed to be of ok quality and was plently large internally. The welds holding the vacuum nubs were of average qualitly but they left the burn off inside along with a large amount of dust that needed to be cleaned out before install. Mine came with all the proper clamps and rubber conectors.

There were a couple problems I encountered though. The replacement "dress-up" silicone hoses were far too short to be useful and the filter was way too small. I just reused the stock hoses where I could and swapped out for longer hose where I couldn't. Expect to pay another $5 for hose. The filter might have been ok for a lawn mower or maybe a Geo, but I was just plain tiny compared to my other cone filter. Needless to say, I just swapped the larger one on but for someone who doesn't already have one, it's another $10-$20.

So overall, I actually paid closer to $70 to do it right.

[musclesgabe]

cool, thanks for the replies. i think i might get one just so i have some problem solving to work with. its fun sometimes

[red240ne]

yep, mine's ebay too. I got it for like $29 shipped, haha. It was a temporary thing, because I threw away my stock airbox when I went turbo. Then I needed to go back to stock, so instead of spending hundreds on stock crap, I spend $29 on ebay. w00t

yeah they sell for cheap like 20 bucks then want 40 for shipping. I emailed them about picking it up for the local socal ones and they all said no

Yeah, Ebay ones are perfectly fine.
