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.

    • Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life
    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
    • Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
