I have a series I RB25DET and the clip came without a MAF.

I am located in Canada where no RB engines can be found easily and was hoping it might be easier/cheaper to source a MAF from Australia rather than going through a JDM supplier.

I have heard that the 300ZX MAFs are too big and the ECU will require tuning to make it run right, so getting a stock MAF would be in my best interest.

Does anyone have a part number for the MAF, so that i might be able to order it in through the Nissan dealership here. Or does someone have a MAF for sale? What do the dealerships usually charge for the MAF?

BTW the engine is going into a Kouki S14 240sx. Thanks in advance guys.

Here are some pics of the clip BTW.

One shows the TPS sensor if i'm not mistaken (huge pic). Is anything missing?

The 300zx AFM is not bigger than the RB25DET's AFM but it is different and would at least some kind of piggyback system to make it work with the stock ECU.

A RB25DET AFM comes in two different types depending on the wiring loom you have as well. For a series 1 engine the plug is different to the series 2 engine.

From the pictures it is evident that you have an early model RB25DET engine so the Series 1 AFM is what you need. They usually sell for about $200 AUD on the forums but get snapped up quickly. You might be able to get one of the aussie import wreckers to send you one though since it's a fairly small item.

Thanks for the quick reply and info.

I thought i read somewhere on SkylinesDownUnder that the RB MAF is 70mm and the 300ZX one was 80mm. I have to take everyting with a grain of salt when working with foreign engines. I will check the classifieds here and hope for the best. Thanks again.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
