Who is using the z32 MAF?

I am still looking for a "cheap" z32 maf. I think I am going ot get 2 of them so I always have a spare.

Let me know if someone finds a good deal. Best I can find is $100 shipped.
Is there anyone that would test a maf for me if I sent one to them?

To run mine on the intake side, am I going to need to get a z32 intake cone to connect to the z32 maf such as this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2471197708

From what I understand, no one is running a z32 maf on the intake side yet?

z32 MAF adapter is the same as 4th gen max. if you already have an aftemarket intake, just use the same maf adapter. i think most people are running the z32 maf on the intake side. mine's on the pressure side.

Would one of these show any gains at all for a NA Maxima? What exactly are the benefits of the MAF?

It's been said, MANY many times, carparts.com has them for $65-$85 ALL THE TIME. That place ROCKS~!

95maxrider - No, you'd be lean and detonate.

of course I have looked on those sites. :>

The cheapest non broken or damaged ones are a little less than $100.

I was under the impression it would be around $50 for some reason.

what key word are you using on carparts ? i tried MAF, mass, air, flow, meter, etc with no luck.

Will an MAF off of a J30 work as well ??

This MAF goes in the place of the stock one and ther isnt a problem with puttin on the charged side correct ??

Yes, J30 is same as 90+ Z32 part number 22680-30P00.

You'll need to wire it up:

Try and find a place that includes or at least has a Z32 MAF plug.

I'll leave the MAF on the charge side question for the SC guys.

I did find the car-part fine, it is a real easy to use site and it automatically has the j30 part cross referenced. I have known that one for awhile gimme some credit hehe.

You said carparts.com and I am having trouble with that one.

If you change your MAF isn't it required to have it calibrated for your vehicle. If you don't calibrate the MAF won't it cause incorrect readings & adjustment by the ECU. Wouldn't it just be wiser to convert to a speed density system by using a vein pressure converter (VPC) and eliminate the MAF all together? I'm pretty sure most supercharger or turbocharger company's recommend eliminating the MAF all together. Maybe I am wrong, let me know what you think?

I'm not sure which setup Prodoje is going with, but usually people pair the Z32 MAF with either:

A. JWT ECU - programmed to accomodate the MAF, along with whatever injector size. Already tuned from JWT, so it's pretty much plug-and-play.

B. Z32 370cc injectors - the injectors flow about twice as much fuel as stock, and the signal from the Z32 MAF is about half compared to the stock MAF at any given point, so the two basically cancel each other out. Minor tuning done with FMU and AFC.

So some sort of recalibrating would need to be done for the Z32 MAF to function properly? I thought that it would have ill effects if recalibration to accomidate for it wasn't done. What about converting the entire system over to Speed Density. Wouldn't that be the optimal set up to have with a boosted vehicle? I'm just guessing here, but since speed density adjusts by reading manifold pressure & air temp. it seems the most logical thing to do when considering boosting a vehicle equipt with a MAF metering system. I want to learn more about how boost works so any website you can refer me too would be great thanks...

One more question?

The 370cc injectors, do they come out of TT300Z's. And are they a direct fit into the Maxima engine. I'm running a dry nitrous system right now & I would be intrested in swapping to the larger injector so my stock one's won't have to work so hard to keep up with demand... Thanks again!!!

I am using choice A.
I have a JWT SC programed for 370 injectors and the z32 MAF.

I have a couple threads lingering about the injectors. THe o-rings I ordered did not fit, so I guess one needs to get maxima orings.
I got the purple tops brand new from JR Nissan, they give us a maxima discount, but it is stll expensive. Ken at JR will know what injectors you need. They provide excellent service at agreat price for us.

Well, not so minor, actually. I found my setup needed at least a +25% correction in maf voltage with the SAFC to get to a 12.5:1 afr at WOT. That was with no fmu and oem fuel pressure. I think a better approach would be to use a Cartech adjustable fmu to get you close, and then some minor tweaking (less than 10% adjustment) with the SAFC.

Edit Ooops. I see you do mention using an fmu along with the SAFC. We agree, then.

Tell you what the cheapest I could find these MAFS were $90 shipped. I did call some guy here in Ga and he was been a *****. He said he needed my core. I told him I did not have a core for a J30

This guy appears to have good feedback. He will replace it if it is DOA.
Maybe I can ask him for a group deal?
Is anyone else trying to get one?

Dooooh I just bought one from Pa. The guy I called had two in stock. He was pretty polite, and did it for $100 SHIPPED. I guess thats the going rate. The reason why I did it? I am sick and tired of my car blowing gas fumes from running so rich at idle. My EGTs are precise up top and thats fine. I just hate the fact that I am too darn rich on the bottom . I did adjust low throttle on the SAFC and the car ran like a champ for like 2.5 months. One day the ECU over rode the low throttle settings so now I am back to square one I rather invest $100 and save some gas cash because the rates for gas aint going to drop no time soon. Time to pedal the bicycle into work 23miles , or buy another roach (Honda CRX)
