I should have done this along time ago. The car has never been this responsive, Never!!! I can't belive this!!! The MAF that I got is a different design than the one that came with the car. MAN O MAN. If your car is lacking power in any way check that MAF. Wholy crap!!! It on now!!

 

what MAF did you get? I wasn't aware that there was any other option.

 

I guess It isn't a new model but its diffrent than the one that came with the car. The Lady behind the counter said that they updated it awhile back.

 

come on man!!! you go nuts about it, and you cant tell us what it is, or who makes it!!! haha lets see some pics or something

 

whats the serial number ?does it start wis A60?

 

yea cmon! more info on it!!

 

... without a part #, or pics... just kidding. More info please. Thanks.

 

More info man!

 

i got mine in yesterday. and it does look slightly diff. the sensor is a little bigger

 

how much? whats the part num???

 

very productive and informative thread ~

 

this is the one I keep as a spare in my trunk....the dealer said it is the "updated" one for the 2k-1...I haven't actually compared it to the stock MAF to see if it looks different. Maybe when it stops raining.

 

Max_Vader_2K : Do you have any installations instructions for changing the MAF?

 

Thank you irish44j For that PIC. Thats the one I have and the install is easy if you have swaped out your intake. Also I noticed that its also called a Volume air flow meter. so if some one say your VAF is messed up, Its also called the MAF.

 

Oh yea and I got it from Nissan directly!

 

how much is this bad boy?

 

i think u can get it around a 100 bucks.. but i heard only get the ones that start with A60 cause the other ones blow

 

Mine was 113.05 after tax!

 

why is it the 2k-2k1 is this cheap, but I look for a replacement for my 2k2, and its $390?

 

are you getting the sensor or the entire MAF assembly?

113 is for the sensor only, IIRC.

 

For 2k's, do the new MAF sensors require an ECU flash? I recall a TSB of sorts for the 2k which required a new MAF sensor and an ECU reflash...

 

probably the assembly. A week after I installed my cai, it rained, and killed my MAF sensor. I just asked courtesy nissan what a new maf costs and he quoted me $366 (after the 25% off). Do I only need to replace the senor itself??

 

2k-2k1 MAFs are different than the 2k2-2k3. there are more sensors the 2k2-2k3 uses.......Nissan only sells the WHOLE ASSEMBLE (to make more money IMO) they never sell the sensor by itself.

 

Yeah that sucks. We are having the same problem also. MAF's suck on these cars. While your at it look at my car. I finally started my registry. Take a look tell me what you think.

 

i was curious as to how the design was different? i saw someone post that it was larger but did it have more tips on the connector? any info on the new desgin would be greatly appreciated.

 

interesting....inside the box I posted above was this: I thought it WAS the whole assembly, but I only paid about $100 for it...

 

huh interesting, that IS the whole assembly.

 

i put it on this am. there really is a difference. i got it from JR nissan. There is a GD for it. I got it for $80.00...you change that bad boy. Or clean it and get cotton stuck in there.........

Part #22680-2Y001

$88.04 with promotional code "sale30" it comes to $72.19

 

thanks...I didnt know that.

 

i know this is OT but yer sig pic, thats Deer Park....i use to be there on Sat. nights.

 

I just ordered that part for kicks. I'm putting on Illuminas, Goodridge, and the Stillen Oil Cooler next weekend...I guess I'll toss in the MAF too. I'll post on my experience.

 

Can someone who has installed the MAF themselves answer this question:

Did you have to flash the ECU to get the new MAF to work properly?

 

I recently replaced the MAF on my 2K. The battery was disconnected so the ECU had to relearn everything but I don't think that's the same as a flash. Anyway, it seems to work fine.

 

If you want to flash your ECU I think you have to leave your battery disconnected overnight. Not sure though. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I have an extra MAF w/ that code lying around, just as a backup in case the one on now fails. If it does what you guys claim it can do, I'lll swap it out tomorrow. I think BioMaxDDS is gonna wish he hadn't sold those MAFs.

 

flashing the ecu would entail taking to a nissan/infiniti dealer with a consult 2 and having a certain aspect of the ecu's programming updated. if you disconnect the battery terminals for a certain amount of time, it can reset certain parameters in the ecu but most will not change.

 

That makes more sense. Leaving the battery disconnected would be too easy.

 

So then why does this site show the part # as something different

Sorry for the bad link:

http://www.nissanx.net/gall/2k2k1oem...rts_378?full=1

 

thats the original part number I believe. The "new" MAF for the 00-01 has a new part number.

Those that changed the MAF, how was the performance improved?
