88pathoffroad Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 There is no aftermarket MAF sensor available for Nissans AFAIK. If one of the wires is broken, you definitely need a new one. You'll have to just plain get a stock replacement. You don't have to replace the whole aluminum body, just the sensor, OK? The hot air is coming from a torn rubber boot underneath the leather boot on top. Common problem. Some people fix it with a replacement leather boot instead. How hard did you look for the headers? Cause with one search on Google, I got... http://www.rocky-road.com/thorley.html http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?...art=DTE-QH464-2 http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...1af3b6fb2b08bb4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statikuz Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 yeah you should always use google, and right after using google, use the search engine built into this forum... maybe search for "headers" =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 are there any other headers besides the thorley? and i was looking on askjeeves, maybe i should start looking on google, lol. Pacesetter makes a set too, but from what I have heard the Thorleys fit much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Yeah. The Pacesetter headers are cheaper, but there's a REASON for that. They're made in Mexico by children with stick-welders. *nodnod* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelmanLS1 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Child labor rules!!!!! We need more here, keep the damn kids from getting fat if they were working! I completely agree! People around here are complaining about child labor in other countries. I know of this freaky gothic girl in my English class who won't by Nikes because of it. Those people forget that those children CHOOSE to work in factories. Nobody points a gun at their head and tells them that they can't have a break. Better working than building eye-hand coordination on the XBox. I don't remember where I heard this, but don't the Doug-Thorley headers only fit manual transmissions?

Precise1 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) Nobody points a gun at their head and tells them that they can't have a break. I understand the spirit of what you are saying, but when they chain the doors shut to prevent breaks/pilferage and a fire happens, it gets un-funny quick. This has happened many times in many places. You need to see where the people come from, how they live, the choices they have and the conditions they work in before making cavalier remarks like that. Not trying to crap on you, but I've traveled down there somewhat, and even a few hunderd miles from the border the conditions can make you ashamed of what you have. Why do you think a lot of them are trying to get here ?? B Oh, Xbox ?? That means a TV... Try a 8x8 corugated tin shack with no running water, sewage and certainly not electricity.

wheelmanLS1 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 how much reworking? I would like to know that too. Would an exhaust shop be willing to do it? I have a bad leak at where the crosspipe meets the catalytic converter and it's melting my floor. My shoe got melted to the carpet yesterday.
