I installed K&N Typhoons on my Nismo, and their "hot air" intake burnt up my MAFs; not once, not twice, but three times.

It was not an oil issue, I believe K&N when they make that claim...it was a heat issue. This intake is open to the engine bay, and pulls way too hot of air in; killing the IAT on the passenger side MAF.

I'm in the process of putting the stock intake back on now, with K&N drop-ins.
