MAF Housing Broke! Please Help!
Help PLEASE!!! I am a total idiot, I am in need of a MAF Housing for a G35 coupe, although I am sure they are the same for both the coupe and sedan.
I was installing a Pop Charger and accidently cracked the bottom two bolt brackets on the housing.
So to anyone out there who has installed a CAI and has this piece laying around please help me out! Infinity / Nissan says that I can only buy it with the MAF which means they want my first born child
Here is a picture of the installation withe the piece circled in RED.

Get a different intake tube that goes all the way from the throttle body to the Stillen air box. It will have a spot to mount the MAF and it'll look a lot better than your carbon fiber tube attached to the stock MAF housing. There are several available at reasonable prices. Let me know if you want to see mine (polished stainless) and I'll post a picture. (And to those that will say that any kind of metal intake will produce hot air going into the engine, it's hogwash. The air travels too fast to heat up. I've never even experienced a rough idle in 100+ degree Texas days)
This is what I have and I love it: http://www.grubbsperformance.com/Mer...G35CoupeIntake

You won't notice any change in idle though. The ECU is very quick to compensate for conditions. If metal intake pipes didn't make a difference, you'd see expensive cars like Ferrari's and Lambos using metal intake pipes.

(I doubt if most of us sit at stop lights worrying whether we're putting out 287HP or 286HP because the intake temperature has gone up). I would be willing to bet that the difference is no more than what is experienced on a hot day versus a cold day...
