Would this be worth $20-$30 or is it easy enough just to splice the Z32 in place of the A32 connector? Or are they the same?

 

splicing the one on Max ODs 3rd gen took 5 minutes...that beats $30 IMO chop off Max plug, wire in Z32 plug. I think the plugs are different, if I can remember one had an extra ridge on the plug or something, so they can't fit in the same slot I think, but no the wiring isn't the same at all

 

it all depends how much you can source a connector for.. z harnesses are more valuable than 3rd gens but should be the same maf connector

 

However, I thought that the Z-mafs have a 5-wire harness on them??? Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

They have a four wire harness and a six pin connector (two pins aren't used). There are two ground wires, one 5V source and the maf sensor output wire. I don't know why it uses two ground wires, but one is connected to the ground wire in the harness (maybe it goes to the ecu), and the other goes to some other convenient grounding location of your choice.

I bought the Tomei plug and used it for my Z32 maf. It's convenient if you can't find one in a junkyard.

 

I'm pretty sure the connectors were no where near the same

 

Thanks......

 

can one of u guys make a map out of where the wires goes?

 

I'm pretty sure I've got a jpeg of that at work. I'm at home right now, so hold on till tomorrow ...

 

I don't know how far maximas would go without u guys. I thank u.

 

theres a diagram on JWTs site...not Maxima specific but you can get an idea from it

 

Okay, here's what I got.



This came from: http://www.sr20development.com/LIBRARY/LIBRARY.html

 

the third gen maf plug works 100% no problems there.

The Tomei one does make life simple though.

 

really...then I ****ing wired his car up for nothing...WTF? he was so sure we needed the Z32 plug, he chopped the 3rd gen one off, so I went ahead and searched high and low for a Z32 plug and wired it up...arrrrrgh time for me to go smack somebody up! and you're 100% sure the wiring positions are 100% the same?? then that means I can sell this other plug lying around...if I can find it at the shop

 

my car runs and drives... I am using Jeff92se's 3rd gen plug...

As far as the 3rd gens, I don't know if the wires themselves are the same but the pins are in the right spots, so you could clip it into the maf, and maybe have to modify a couple of wires in the harness

but for dead sure, the plug works.... It's even in the JWT PDF I have...

And to boot it says...

So I would take that to mean... that the pinout is identical, but you need to actually swap the MAF.

 

interesting, makes sense to me
