Which CAI? 95 w/ vq35

Which CAI will work in my 95 Maxima with a 2002 VQ35? I really want a Cattman CAI, and I know it will install on the motor no problem, but will I have any problems with the tubing?

Also, will I need a 2002 MAF? I'll be using the 2002 ECU and harness, but can swap harnesses if needed. If I can use my 95 MAF that'd be nice. Thanks

The intake is the easy part of the swap. Your gonna have to use the 02-03 maf if your doing the ecu swap also. Tubing can easily be modded to fit. What parts do you have gathered already, I'm in west palm and can help if I find spare time.

Thanks, ya I figured it'd be easy, worst case would have to move my battery or something but I'm just thinking ahead. I'm going to order that cattman CAI this week and realized I needed an 02 MAF. Dude your more than welcome to come help! It's been taking much long than I thought because I'm really limited when I can work on it and I've changed the plan 100 times. I really hope to pull the vq30 out this weekend. And then I can start rewiring things.

Oh believe me I know what you mean about the swap taking long. Mine was supposed to be done a few months ago. I've moved into a new place that has limited space available to do work on the car.

What transmission are you using with the swap? If you're doing the 5MT, what are you going to do about the flywheel situation?

I'm going with a 2002 AT that came with the motor. I got a pretty good price on them so I took them both. Later down the road I'll swap it for a MT. If you ever need help let me know. I go down south all the time.
