remove the stock intake, replace with that one. i dont really iknow what else to say, its pretty straight forward. just use the hose clamps and silicone tubing to fasten it to the throttle body, and hook the lines up to the places on the new one.

Well i thought it was that easy too, but my intake tubes dont seem to fit into the holes, is there a trick to it or something?

Jermey, i might be able to help you figure out your intake. Remember how you thought your car was turbo but someone took it off? Not to mention all the other things that the previous owner did to your car that might interfer with the intake. I would like to help you figure it out.

Ps. If your freaked out about how i know your name and your car, ask yourself this, who are you going to race on your birthday and is a fellow nissan owner?
