    Go 80mm and use a piece of 70mm pipe as a spacer. That way if you decide to upgrade to vxr stuff (injectors, maf, turbo etc) then you already have the 80mm pipework

    Not sure about playing around with the MAF wires. Better just to connect an extension plug up to the factory one.

    Another problem I've noticed is that many of the crossover delete kits are for an 80mm MAF. Having trouble finding one for a 70mm. Click here to enlarge
    The wires are fairly easy to free from the main plastic holder. I cut a small u-shape into the plastic and covered it with electrical tape. Can't even see the difference.

    Where would I get the 70mm pipe from?

    Nice pics. Yeah, that's the sort of intake I want, but I want it with a pod filter. Very hard to find as all that stuff is based in the UK.

    I had that Apexi boost gauge in an R32 Skyline. Loved it. Again, very hard to find now with all the fakes getting around, and many of them nowadays require a control unit which is too much headache for just the one gauge. It does suit the factory instrument cluster though, a lot more than the Blitz SD.
    The airbox I got secondhandand the pipe is an off the shelf Roose Motorsports. This will fit the standard maf. Can easily be upgraded though if you want a vxr maf later down the track (with an appropriate remap of course)

    That, not fake, boost gauge, I got from the USA, well under hundred dollars delivered. But it is a bit hard to find an american company that doesnt want to use expensive couriers. But they are out there. Search Ebay. Also this is a mechanical one , always works, quite accurate and much cheaper.

    Sadly, I think I still have a boost gremlin somewhere.

    She doesn't have the dip in boost that she used to, but it's still not what I think it should be.

    Going to get a boost gauge and get her running right before I do any more mods. Stay tuned...

    Did you notice any difference swapping to the CDTi airbox?
