Research has brought the UTEC, 350z t-stat, and obviously cams and internals.
With f/i now in play...we pretty much have everything "available" just at an ***-raping price!

true, but if you think about it...there are A LOT of parts out there right now. Some searching is required to see if parts from other cars (mainly 350z and Altima) are compatible.

Very nice, one can only hope your girl is as pretty, lol. Is it a deeper growl than with just the CAI? That's a lot of cash to swap a manifold IMO. Its not difficult to do just lots of hoses and lines to ensure are re-connected. I would like to do the spacers one day but will prob leave the manifold as is. They are a neat product and great idea. Enjoy the new top end!
Yeah it was a lot of money and she is very pretty

Way to go! I'm glad the install went ok for you!
Just to clear up a little something for those that may be reading on and don't already know. It's the Kinetix IM that some people are unsure about.
The NWP Engineering Intake Spacers GrimMax installed hasn't gotten a single bad review since they were release last Spring!

Seems like the intake gets rid of the slightly ricer (IMO) sound of the CAI. Its hard to tell without hearing it in person and being in the car driving but it sounds good. I doubt the service techs would even notice the spacers as far as warranty claims would go. Solid power gains are always a welcome addition.

The bottom line is, I didn't want people to easily notice these spacers once installed. That is one reason why the color black was chosen, among many other reasons.

Exactly! That is why I designed the spacers to follow the outside contour of the manifold while they are together! For the cleanest and most compact look, I had to make the spacer follow some curves on the LIM as well as the UIM. Same goes for the Elbow spacer.

The stock spacers are horrible!! Such a difference!

The sound is great and its constant during driving which is very awesome. Now I drive with my radio off just to hear it until I get use to it being there. LOL!!
I figured if the SES light comes on then I will first take her to Autozone for a card reading. If any issues then I will just slap the stock back on if the problem is urgent.

The Kinetix IM does NOT come with any kind of spacer. It does come with gaskets made from cork.
Read his question carefully. I am in no way shape or form associated with Kinetix.
The NWP Engineering VQ35DE Thermal Intake Spacer Kit comes with 5 phenolic spacers.
The Kinetix IM comes with zero spacers.

When I took the car in, they gave me these 2 stock looking spacers and said I dont need them anymore. They look like your spacers but are very very thin. I wish I kept them to take pics but I tossed them already.

I guess one was from the Kinetix and the other was OEM???
Damn I should have kept them for a pic. I know that one of them had to have come off where the stock maniolfd and the O2 meet though. But when the shop handed them to me, they really didnt look that different.
