i bought an intake adaptor off ebay and they sent me a square maf addaptor and the vg is rectangular so i turned it so that i could get 2 screws in will this be alll right i tightened them really tight.

 

Drill out the other 2 holes so you can get all 4 lined up. It is most likely just aluminum.

 

the metal is not wide enough so there is nothing to drill

 

yeah i got one of those too. i could only get two holes to line up also. so it has worked fine for about 6 months no prolem

Same here. Just tighten the screws really good and you should be all set.

 

me too but i'm sure it's leaking air in, maybe try a home made gasket.

 

Just remember that there are 4 screws in there for a reason. 2 may seem to work fine but you could be sucking in dirt from that opening and over time... you can fill the rest...

 

You should be able to turn the adapter and drill out new holes for it to fit. You got one for a 4 cyl. engine. They don't specify because they're dumb, but that's what happened. I've seen it several times.

 

Same thing happened here. All I did was turn the adapter diagnally and screwed them into the bottom left and upper right hole. It was perfect. I've checked it every other week for the past couple o'months and its still there. Never had to tighten once.

 

ummmm yeah...so much for proper sealing and preventing the MAF from being damaged.

 

so what can i do addae to fix it.b/c i only have 2 holes screwed in. do i need to make 2 more holes. or can i buy a better one somewhere else?

 

my advice would be to get one from Cattman or lightningmotorsports.com...they will cost about $25-30, but they are the REAL Nissan MAF adapters!!

I'd just get it from Cattman, but if you go with Lightning MP, I think the "type M" is what you want. most of those Ebay Nissan MAF adapters are for the 4-cyl models which I think have a different bolt pattern("type N").

 

Because you wrote that, I went back and checked my MAF. Its ****ing flawless. No cracks, no opennings. Damaged you say....I've been using it this way for months and its still good. You crack on me when theirs some other guyz that has it screwed in on one side! So **** off. ****ing loser.

 

whoa big guy...he didn't mean anything bad. IF it wasn't sealed right, dust and other crap can get in and possibly damage your MAF and the insides of your engine. don't want that now do we? He just wanna point that out to ya. no hard feelins

 

I'm sick of his ****. I know about the dangers. My methods are different, but it works better than the other alternatives. I'm not dumb enough to risk exposing one side of my adapter to dust (no offense to those who have). Da-Max needs to stop picking on me cause if I ever meet him in person.

 

riiiiight..... I'm friggin terrified look, look, my hhhhaannnds aaree sshakking sssooo mmmuch IIII caaannn bbbarellly tttyppe....save it buddy.

 

If only you knew...If only you knew who I was and what I would do.

 

just curious...how old are you?

 

You gonna beat someone up because they are trying to save your MAF? Kick his *** seabass

 

i see a lock coming up...

 

you watch too many gangster movies
