surge performance chip?
EXACTLY! which is why it is not so "cut & dry" (pun intended) as some people think.
I wasn't asking for a wire tuck DIY... I was simply asking for a DIY vid of MAF wires being cut... you can lengthen, shorten, or leave the same length - doesn't matter... just show your method of cutting/reconnecting and having the car run proper.
Wire tuckies can use that and do their own thing with it.
Until someone does that - there is no point in going on and on about "it works because I say so".

Anyone know what type of MAF sensor the G35 uses? I believe its a hot wire type sensor (as opposed to vortex type, or vane type) -
In that case, its just basically two heated wires with thermistors (in wein-bridge configuration) which output a DC voltage depending on amount of air flow. Nothing magic there.

Geezus, even I knew and I'm not the "Expert".

And as I said before, you make the false assumption that the reason the car doesn't work is because the wires were cut, when in all liklihood it is because of either A) a bad connection, or B) improper routing of the sensor wires - with improper routing being more plausible.
But of course, you have some crazy belief that connectors are magical and when you disconnect them, they somehow don't obey the law of physics and an electrical connection is still made. Thats real brilliant thinking.
WTF???????? You said you've removed it millions of times - and you don't know whether its hot wire, vortex or vane?????
You obviously want to act like an *** in these discussions and hear only what you want to hear. So if you want to keep believing in blatantly false claims made about the MAF sensor by people named "BikiniLust" or other mystery people which you purposely don't name (thats convenient, isn't it?), then go ahead.
No sense in arguing with you anymore.
I'm done with this thread for good - go figure it out yourself.
I'm sure everyone else here will agree that simply making a DIY that involves cutting a wire or two and then splicing them back together is about as asinine as it gets. Other than showing one "how to cut a wire" and "how to reconnect a wire", it proves absolutely nothing otherwise.
Get a clue!

^^^ blah, blah, phucking blah.
I read two sentences and realized you are pointless.
I NEVER asked you for a wire tuck DIY - dumb @ss... I made it real simple - post a DIY/vid of how you "cut maf sensor wires and reconnect and have your car run without issues". According to your on and on posts, that should be a piece of cake. Why cant you do it?
As it pertains to the sensor itself - are you seriously trying to tell me that you have unplugged the sensor, removed the induction tube and maf housing and NEVER looked at the gawd damn sensor????? I thought you were an expert - how stupid is it that you profess to be an expert and you don't even know what kind of sensor we are talking about... Hell, most of us have cleaned the damn thing at least a dozen times... and many of us have removed it all together several times. You are a horrible "expert"
You can type all the garbage you want (I don't read half of it)... but until you show that you can cut wires to maf sensor then reconnect and not have your ECU through a fit - then I don't give a **** what you have to say or how munch you don't like me.

Was there ever a clarification of how these guys were actually screwing up their maf wires? IMHO the only consideration is the quality of the ground and the resistance of the 0-5v wire before/after.
FYI. The maxima crowd has been successfully relocating the maf sensors in order to place it in a better position (for their SC applications) for years. That obviously entailed lengthing the wires.

I wonder if liche ever cut his MAF sensor wires... seriously, why wouldn't he since he is so positive that it can be done?
I figure either he did and his car is phucked so he wont post about it... or he is afraid to because he knows he was full of **** when going on and on about it being okay to do.
It's totally irresponsible to post multiple times that something is okay to do (when many people know its not) - and then not posting results from his attempt.

I contacted the manufacturer of one performance chip maker last year (unable to recall which one now) and they stated that the chips had been slightly effective for trucks, Hummers and larger SUV's "to some extent." The tech suggested that the chips had been mildly effective with vehicles not known for efficiency.
When asked specifically about the Infinti G or M, the technician stated that they had "fried some engines" and thus concluded that higher performance engines were not good candidates. The performance chip market may have made some advances since then; however, this conversation alone was enough to discourage me from pursuing this line again.
The tech did not recommend it for the G or M and strongly believed it would not only not work, but that it could cause some damage to the electronics and possibly the engine.
