G50 : MASS AIR FLOW CONNECTOR REPLACEMENT / REPAIR

[lino]

For the G50 owners that have a corroded or broken MAF connector, wouldn't it be nice to get a replacement connector that plugs directly into the MAF with enough harness length to re-connect.

For the Z32, Tomei offers a pigtail:





I wasn't able to source a pigtail, but what I found so far was a post by 96Qowner. He mentioned that you can buy the connector and pins separate for the G50 from Infiniti of Scottsdale:

Part number on invoice: 38751-123 Pins (you need 3) $1.54 ea Part number on invoice: 38751-112 Connector Shell $17.08 Total: $21.70

Those part numbers are not Nissan, they are SPX Kent-Moore part numbers. They are not in the catalog because of how old they are. However, if you have an account with SPX Kent-Moore you can see the older connectors using their ASSIST program.

Below is their current catalog. On page 8 you can see how to cross reference an oem connector type to the SPX part number. Pages 31-37 is an application guide:

I wasn't able to find the oem connector type in Nissan FAST to cross reference.





If the part numbers I found from 96Qowner 's post are correct and those prices are current than than buying from Infiniti of Scottsdale would make sense. Allow me to explain:

If you decide to buy them direct from supplier it will cost you much more. First of all, to buy the connector part number 38751-112, you'd have to buy a package of 5 and to buy the pins part number 38751-123 you'd have to a package of 25. That's how they're sold to the dealers.

Current list price from Tech Mate is as follows:

Part Number 38751-112 Connector Shell - Package of 5 $113.53Part Number 38751-123 Pins - Package of 25 $45.43

Basically list price for a connector and 3 pins is $28.16 so if Infiniti of Scottsdale is selling it for $21.70, than it's a great deal.

Another online store has them. Pricing is very similar:

Kent-Moore J-38751-112 Connector Pack (5 In Bag) $120.28Kent-Moore J-38751-123 Terminal (25 Pkg) $45.84

The next question is do you to purchase the seals separate like the ones shown in the pic below:

Very informatve.

Difficult to beat OEM required parts from Joe, especially when time, service and guarantee are considered as part of the price.
