Sound right, MAF needs replacement?

[DonutHands]

Exhaust started smelling rich for the last week or so. Yesterday check engine light came on. Stopped by auto part store and said MAF needed replacement after reading the code. Unfortunately I did not grab the code.

 

Looks like the MAF is aftermarket right now.

 

Anything else I should look at or just order a replacement? This is $65

If that’s the code that popped up then it’s probably correct. I just recently replaced the MAF sensor and tube. What year is your pathy?

What code was it throwing? Also...go with either a junk yard r50 Maf, or an 01 maxima maf. Aftermarket mafs are not reliable and the maxima maf is a direct replacement and much cheaper new than an r50 Maf 

[DonutHands]

Saw the Maxima MAF mentioned elsewhere, but I believe that is for the VQ35, is that correct?

 

The parts I listed are Hitachi brand which I think is the OEM for the original Nissan parts, no? Just don't know which one to order.

Hit the 3.3l Nissan Quest at junk yards for the MAF

Im in Los Angeles, just wrecking yards that are too far away, too many rules, and too picked clean to even bother.
