Dual intake
What you would need is some kind of 'adapter box' for the airflow meters and throttle bodies to plug into for the stock ECU - this is technically possible but takes some electronic voodoo to accomplish....
OR, just bolt on whatever you like and tune with your favorite standalone EMS. That would work for sure.

Ok I'm looking at a kinetix v+ raceing plenum. Single intake.
I just received Nissan coupon for an oil change. But it listed off a few things like spark plugs, co2 sensor.. And the other basics to help with fuel consumtion.
At what mileage did you change out the transmission and differential fluids?
I'm also looking at the stillen intake. That with the new plenum should help. I'll probably go ahead and change out the spark plugs and fuel filter at the same time.
As of right now it's staying pretty steady at 22.4 mpg at 45mph avg with me driving about 120 miles a day. Weekends vary since my wife insist on taking my car everywhere. It's not that like my car more then hers, it's because she like me driving and she doesn't want me driving her car. But I don't mind. I'm in control! LOL! <evil laugh>

That is really nice! I'll look into it and do some investigation. Do you have it? What results have you seen?
I've had too many people come back and say the Plenum and the air intake are two major issues where Nissan just didn't do their homework until the 07 and 08 models where they put two air intakes. They also say they have seen fuel savings along with HP with both. So, over this little project of mine, I'm going to take stats and monitor everything to see what does help and what does not. But I will take that into consideration. Especially since you can adjust it to what your wanting at the time. That's very cool! But I'm sure it's not as accurate as putting the car on a dyno with experienced peeps tuning it.

Dude, learn to do math. If he doubles his intakes, he will double his mileage/power, not 20%. Its pretty simple.
Im working on a quad intake system right now, ill post my dyno/fuel economy results this weekend. I expect to get about 2400km/tank though, which will be nice.

on a serious note, 120miles a day? Good on ya mate, I can see why you want to buy less gas! I get about the same as you though, around 22-24mpg depending on how much of a ***** I am driving like. On true highways (not stopping for 100km+) I get closer to 30mpg, and in pure city its more like 21mpg. My girlfriend gets a good 5mpg more regardless though consistently. I think it has something to do with her vagina.

@ Snowboard599 - That's really impressive for 31mpg! Please give me stats with what you actually have. From what I've read, the tuner will work, but works best if you have larger plenum and more air intake. The tuner then adjusts the car to utilize those modifications better. That could be why you have seen such am adjustment in mpg.
@GT-Rob - how are you putting a quad on? That would be very interesting to see! I used to get 30 on highway, but over the past few months I've noticed it's going down to around 24.8 now. I need to look at those spark plugs and fuel filter.
