Default How an Air Intake Works

I took apart the air intake on my G35 and made a short video on how it works:

Its pretty neat to cut open some of the components inside the air intake system.

Here is the entire air intake system removed:

Of notable mention:

The accelerator pedal sensor uses two potentiometer tracks. These measure resistance inversely with each other as fail safe:

The throttle position sensor also has two separate tracks in its potentiometer for redundancy:

This is what the thin wires, temperature bulb and calibration circuit look like in the MAF sensor:

And finally, this is what's inside the drive by wire throttle body:

Love your write-ups man! So are you rebuilding the G35 or just chopping it up like the Corolla you had?
