maf replacement
s'posin i have a really good reason to replace my stock maf on my 90gxe, anyone have any suggestions as to how i could improve upon the stock maf. i saw skymax's really subtle, mysterious mention of his modded maf, and was wondering if you all had any suggestions as to something a lil better than stock. should i expect to pay $300 if i go with a new maf?

it'll definitely be much less than the new $300+ price

MAF upgrade
If you need one replaced, going with Craig is your best bet. If your looking to upgrade, Mustang Cobra MAF recomended. Of course it'd be a good idea to get an ecu upgrade with it. But, with that thought I doubt your looking to put that much into it, although it's an option none the less.

You're right....
I mentioned the Cobra MAF as an option only because you had asked for suggestions and it was not established if you NEEDED a MAF or wanted to upgrade. I thought that if you were going to NEED a MAF, you would buy from Craig. If you were upgrading, you would had already made several other modifications which had led to wanting to upgrade your MAF which subsequently would benifit from an ecu upgrade as well. You can have the ecu reprogramed for a small portion of the initial cost for the chip installation by JWT. But, you are right. I apologize for the confusion.

yea but if you do decide to start to mod your car there is absolutely no sense in spending the money on a stock MAF which you will only upgrade later. Why spend money on a MAF twice? Just get the upgrade and if you decide to keep modding so be it

but I've read about a few people who pieced it together JWT's "450 package" on Zcar.com....I think they used the Granatelli MAF(I think it was for the 36lb. injectors??) from the Cobra forgot which injectors they matched it with though, I'm guessing one of the two Nismo injector choices....

Believe me, you're not the only duct-taped Max out there

lots o air = maf that'll say, "GIMME AIR", aka 300z tt
faster car = more air and fuel delivery (among other things)
but i could be wrong because i know very lil about mysterious mods or even maximas hah, i'm just learnin as i go. as i drool over all of your maximas, i can't help but wonder what kind of maf that is.

Re: You're right....
OK, I was also thinkin about doing this mod to my car, But one of the things that I'm not sure about is, does it matter what year cobra you get the MAF from? Or are there numbers on the MAF that you need to check?

Something you're forgetting....
Unless you can successfully wire in the Cobra MAF and are willing to take a chance on one working out of a junk yard, you are much better off buying from JWT who also sends you the wiring adaptor. Remember, you also need proper fuel management. Otherwise you'll subsequently cause the engine to burn lean. Hm, I thought this thread died already?
