WTB: C32 Needswings Intake

Hi Guys,

Wanting a buy a c32 needswings intake if anyone has one available.

The current exchange rate and shipping cost makes it hard to justify a new one from Needswings.

Im located in Australia.

Cheers

Good luck mate because I’ve been looking for a set too and I haven’t see one come up in the forums or online at all. They’re about 500 plus usd on the site. Have you considered retrofitting sl55 ones? Or maybe a diy solution? Perhaps a 3D printing place could print some CF or High quality ABS ones?

I've had my Needswings DCAI set up for 4 years and love it.. not sure the cost today to purchase. the filter used in that set up from NW was the K&N / Spectre cone filter #HPR9833 which you can still buy from the manufacturer or other resellers and maybe you can fabricate your own intake based on the dimensions of the filter used here. i'd just go buy the NW set up, but understand the costs to import are high for you so look into this filter and how you might fab a intake setup around this. ???

ive had my 2003 C32 for 13 years and still drive it daily and love it.... hope you enjoy yours

i've bought several products from Rob at Needswings and his service and quality is exceptional. their intake is pricey but quality is exceptional and fits perfect. my filters went bad early and Rob kindly shipped a new set immediately to me at no cost.

others have custom built an intake which certainly is cheaper and should get similar results, but I didnt have the time or expertise to take on on so buying was easier for me.

Mate - this is the air filter used in the NW Cold air intake system. If is too cost prohibitive to order and ship to Australia than you might want to try to fabricate a system yourself using the dimensions of this same filter used in the NW intake... just a thought.

Enjoy your C32 - had mine 13 years and still love driving it !
