PaMountianbiker Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 How do I know that will fit? I have a VG33 motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Oh, I didn't read your year. This Maxima MAF is known to work with VQ35 equipped R50s, but I don't think I've heard of anybody using it on a VG33E Pathy. I have no idea if it'll work.

Tungsten Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 RockAuto.com Get a Hitachi sensor. It's a Nissan part with the name sanded off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo94 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 There's quite a few on ebay maybe its worth checking there? Unless its urgent and you cant wait for postage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zibi Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Grab one from a wrecker. I got a used one off of another board member a while ago for quite cheap as a spare (although I've never actually tried running it). Just clean off the wires with some alcohol and a q-tip and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 DO NOT touch the sensor wire with anything. Use MAF sensor cleaner only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaMountianbiker Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 dealer said mine was messed up and poor mileage. when I drown mine It got very muddy so I cleaned it with brake clean and rags I didn't know the right way so I probably messed it up.

Kingman Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Rubbing alcohol, a few clean q-tips, and a very gentle touch is all you need to clean them. Too much pressure screws them up. RockAuto lists the Hitachi (factory equipment) sensor for $126.99 with a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty.

new4x4r Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Let me know if your fuel economy comes up... mine is soooo bad these days. I'm sure my MAF either needs to be cleaned or replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
