Here's a couple of pics of my latest project... the CAI locks for the NISMO intake from Zeetoyz. I scratched the heck out of them during install, but that's because I am a klutz. I think they give the engine bay quite the look. What do you think?

 

luck you. I bought the kit but couldnt' install at all since my nismo version is different than the one he sent to me.

 

wow, those are beautiful!

 

What problems did you have? Mine didnt fit 100%. I had to get creative with the rubber sleeves to make sure everything sealed properly, and on one I had to use a dremmel to grind it down to allow for the lock to screw on properly. I know there's like 3 versions of the NISMO CAI out there, but they could be made to fit.

 

i have V2. I still have the kit somewhere in my trunk.

 

Nice! Please add your pics to this thread as well.

I think that is the one I have.

 

no. Your is V3.

 

Really? Wow, it was sold to me as V2, so it is news to me. I guess that is a good thing!!!

On the lower portion (the little elbow that plugs into the water diverter), I had to double up on the rubber sleeves to get a good fit. My locks came with rubber sleeves, and my CAI also had sleeves, so I took one of the CAI sleeves and cut a 1" ring that fit snugly onto the elbow, and inserted that into the sleeve inside the lock. Otherwise, I couldn't get a good seal.

On the middle portion, I could not get the lock to close for the life of me. The tube expanded the sleeve too much and prevented the lock from threading properly. So, I took a dremmel and grinded (ground?) the sleeve down to where it would fit. What a mess of plastic dust!!!!!

The top portion fit fine. The key for me was to make sure I was using the right lock on the right spot - 2 of the locks are uneven, meaning one opening is larger than the other. You can tell by a little diagonal slant on the side of the lock. These two go on the ends (on the throttle body at the top and at the elbow on the bottom end - the wide ends go to the outside). The 3rd lock is a straight lock and goes in the middle. I drew a little picture in MS Paint to explain it better:
