Cold Air Intake for Nissan Pathfinder (1991-1995) Nissan Pickup (1995) 3.0L Engine

Maximize Airflow and Induction Sound for the Nissan VG30E V6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Nissan Pathfinder and Pickup owners running the legendary 3.0L VG30E engine family. Whether you’re navigating a trail or using your Hardbody as a daily workhorse, this kit is for the driver who wants more throttle response without compromising reliability.

The Problem: The VG30E is a stout, iron-block V6, but the factory intake system in the WD21 Pathfinder and D21 Pickup is a maze of restrictive plastic tubing and a heavy, heat-soaking airbox. This stock setup creates turbulence and restricts the engine’s ability to pull in the volume of air needed during heavy acceleration or towing.

The Solution: This Cold Air Intake replaces the entire factory restriction with mandrel-bent T304 aluminum piping. By streamlining the path to the intake manifold, we’ve corrected the factory design flaws of the VG30E, providing a direct, high-velocity air charge that improves combustion efficiency and gives the engine a much-needed performance bump.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Power Delivery: Optimized airflow dynamics provide up to a 10% increase in horsepower and torque by reducing the vacuum loss found in the factory accordion-style hosing.
• High-Grade Construction: Built from T304 lightweight aluminum, this piping resists heat soak better than stock plastic and provides a permanent solution that won’t crack or degrade over time.
• Simple Bolt-On Install: Engineered to fit both automatic and manual transmissions, this kit can be installed in under 60 minutes with basic hand tools, utilizing factory mounting points where possible.
