NEW
EXHAUST & CAI
I have always wanted to get a AEM Cold Air Intake (CAI).
I found a great deal on one for my car, well actually it
was for a similar car and I could modify this to fit mine.
I also got a great deal on an OBX Muffler and my local shop
could custom fit it. Finally my GXE was going to get some
work done!

I had
my local shop do the exhuast piping, but I wanted Team PLP
to do the CAI... so I called Hermen up and one weekend we
just went to work.
After
trips to Autozone and my local performance shop we got all
the parts we needed and got the intake installed. I had
to drill new holes in the MAF adapter, make some custom
fittings for my diameter throttle body pipes, and busted
our knuckles up working behind the fenders.
Once
we finished the install... the car did not run right. Hermen
and I worked all day Saturday and Sunday to figure it out.
Nothing!
I took
it back to my shop and it was my new MAF! The last thing
I would of thought it was since I bought a new one for the
installation.
A member
of my forum (b15sentra.net) helped me with the MAF problem.
So Wednesday after figuring it out, I went to Ann Arbor
to meet up with the guys group. With my MAF luck... as I
went to leave the meet, my MAF threw a bad code... some
of the guys helped me look it over, and we think that my
wiring is shorting out. So good thing I went to the meet,
I think we might of solved with my MAFs have always been
blowing out.
Anyhow,
enjoy the pics of my new modifications, man she sounds mean
now! I just need to completely rewire my MAF now...
