My '95 240sx just died one day, fixed the electrical problem that it had and now the MAF sensor its gone!!!!! I need some help, what should I do? I've heard that I can use the one from a 300zx but I don't know, and as ironically as this may sound it happens to be cheaper than the one for the KA engine! can someone direct me?

Um, you are not going to want to run a z32 maf one unless you have some sort of fuel management, etc.

You will run mad lean (and probably detonate) if you put in a z32 maf & don't do anything to compensate (i.e. injectors, tuning, etc).

Just go junkyard, ebay, whatever. Don't put in a z32 unless you are modifying your car for turbo or something, otherwise, it will not be worth it.

Thanks for the insight, now I have to find a junkyard that actually carries a 95 240, not an easy task since ebay didn't have any, and I really don't want to fork 280 bucks at a part store

You can pull a MAF from a 95-98, it doesn't have to be 95 specifically!
