MAF sensors from Ebay?

I was looking at MAF sensors on Ebay and I found some brand new after market ones for $60 shipped.Are the any one or reliable?They do come with a one year warranty.I bought a used one not to long ago but, it went bad,don't want to risk buying a used one again and then it going bad on me in a few weeks.

I would stick with OEM. Drivability/reliabilty issues seem to be a problem with aftermarket MAFs. E-bay has several used OEM MAFs for $45 with a 30 day warranty.

ebay MAF

The $60 ebay one lasted me 6months and died. The ebay one started going out on me in FL summer traffic, scary! I did the o2 sensor and cleaned the TB/IACV thinking the ebay MAF couldnt be the problem. The hesitation/sputtering was terrible towards the end with that MAF. I then went to autozone to look at the OEM NISSAN stamped remanuf for $225(after $40 core refund). I even tried to leave without shelling out the $225, thinking the 6month old ebay MAF shouldn't be the problem-except my car stalled in the middle of traffic less than a block away. I reversed back to Autozone, changed it in the parking lot and it's been a lot of fun to drive again. Spend the $225 and do it right the first time.

How did the hunt go? Did dave hook it up? Cause 90 sure seems nice... Anything under 200 for new would be great for me

Why risk it? It's not like the 95-99s are known to be bad, it's a better chance to pick up a used OEM one from the JY... Hell if my car runs well w/ the Q45 maf you can buy mine....

Yeah that is true GO OEM!

I bought an aftermarket one, and I went through two within a year before I was like "screw this" and just spent the money. In the end what I saved going aftermarket I ended up losing.
