ok so i am installing a z32 maf and i am concerned with the splicing of the pigtail to the engine harness wires. as i understand it, it is very important that the maf wires be "shielded" the plug/pigtail that came with my greddy intake doesnt appear to have shielded wires. the wires from my engine harness were extended long enough by phase 2 when they did my harness that they will reach to the plug no problem.

so should i use as little of the wire on the plug as possible? what are your suggestions?
thanks in advance!

The shield isn't too important, at least not so much that your concerns are warranted. As long as it's shielded up to say 18" from the plug you're fine.

IMO I think the shielded part not touching the actual wire is more important
