Well, this has been in the works for quite some time. Rowan (KiwiZ) of Sonic Motorsports has developed piping for a dual air intake kit for the Z32. It contains all the piping, adapters, and clamps needed, but you supply the filters and ECU. The kit came to us as unpolished pipe so I took them both to the local chrome shop that did all of my underhood goodies. Unfortunately, the day after I delivered the stuff, the place caught on fire and it was almost a month for them to get up and running again. The short of it is the kits were just finished at the chromers last week. It was about $150 to chrome each kit which was the two pipes, non-MAS side adapter, 4 large brackets, the center plate and bolts, and the 4 hose clamps on the lower side. Here is the set laid out before installation with only one intake shown. I'm running dual Blitz SUS metal mesh filters. I should mention the filter adapter shown on the top right and the filter itself were NOT included. 
Unfortunately for me the large bolt clamps were too large to work for me. They did work for Damon. The difference is the yellow silicon connectors that Rowan sent me are about 1/3 the width of the black rubber that Damon got. That circumferential difference made the clamps too large for me. You'll see in the install pics that I used regular hose clamps I pilfered from my 4 rubber upper intake hoses that were laying in the garage. Here is a pic of the assembled intake before putting it in the car.

 AFTER dual intake =)
 And, here's a shot of the full engine w/ intake showing:
 This DOES make the intakes too long to leave the corrugated splash guard attached, so both Damon and I had to remove them. Here's a head on shot showing where the intakes are positioned. No puddles for me!!
 Rowan says he is swamped for the next 2 weeks, so if you're interested, please hold off your inquiries for a short bit. I don't have pricing information on the kit, so don't ask me about that :-) And, for those of you brave enough to read this post, here's a sneak preview of what's shortly to be released! :-)
