Mattndew76 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 I can make them but no one wants to pay the $1200.00 it takes to cover my expense and time. 1 Quote Link to comment

Time + Material. Surface Kellering and sanding take some time. I can make weld up kits too, but you still have the expense of having them welded up.

Most folks have trouble getting that. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 In spare time I spent 6 months designing, planning and mostly finding out what didn't work when making an intake for my R-1 carbs. The end result works flawlessly. I would guess $400-$500 on experimental dead end things. Now I could knock one off in a weekend if I kept at it. 2 Quote Link to comment

Mattndew76 Posted October 24, 2020 Report Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) For anyone wanting to do the DIY I can make these flanges for less. ($175.00 to be exact) I can also make the rest of the items, but come close to 1000-1200 for everything. https://www.xcessivemanufacturing.com/nissan-intake-ka-n-ka24de-bif-ni.html Edited October 24, 2020 by Mattndew76 Quote Link to comment

Nismo did sell them back in the day from what I've heard. Hard as hell to find though. A few others have been produced from time to time, mostly one offs.

Mattndew76 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 If you guys want a weld up kit. I can make the kits for $650.00. You find the fabricator to weld them up. Quote Link to comment
