Help!!
I hope someone can help me!!
My brother who is some-what mechanical, decided to install my Injen CAI for me today. He somehow managed to crack the mass air flow meter in the process of removing my airbox. (I swear if he wasent my bro I would have hit him so hard at this point) anyhow, I then find out from two different Nissan dealerships that this assembly is around $522
My question is, does any after market company make a Mass air flow meter for the Max that is of quality? and alittle cheaper? For the time being he's going to put it all back together and use alittle duct tape to ensure no air leakage. Thanks for the help guys!

There really are none available. You need to replace it. Call DaveB at Town North Nissan. You MIGHT just need a $100 part, not the entire sensor assembly.

exactly, the biggest positive to using Dave is that he'll often find the sub part thats broken and not try to sell you entire assemblies like the local dealer will, saving $100's usually. I'm not sure if the local dealers are just lazy, stupid or greedy (or all). I swear, every time I've walked into a local place, they act like they've never seen a maxima or pathfinder (or whatever car you have).
Local: "Lets see, a light bulb... oh, well the whole dash assembly is $800 and we can have it in two weeks"
Dave: "yeah, I got that, its $400 and two days to your door.. but I could just sell you the bulb for $2.30?"
amazing...

Very nice guy, and I would also highly recommend him for your OEM part needs.

Yea, I definately agree with you on this one. I think the parts guys are alittle lazy and largely focused on making $$. DaveB was a huge help, and always willing to help .org members pay the price we deserve to pay.

I think Dave takes alot of feedback from the service guys at the dealership about what works and where, plus he knows his way around the parts catalog... those two things are lacking at my local dealers. Makes ordering 1000x easier, the good price is just icing on the cake.
Locally I get alot of "well, we dont sell alot of those..." ok, youre the biggest dealer in a 3 state area and you dont sell/stock wiper replacements, crush washers, replacement bulbs, coils or belts? Damn, what *do* you guys sell? gumballs and coffee for the waiting room?
