Here is the instructions on how to hook a Z32maf to the Ca18det harness

Looking at a z32 maf, you will see it labelled as X B C D E X where X represent no connection.

Z32 MAF ------------------------>Ca18det

B -----------------Green/black (0-5volt signal)D&C-------------------black (ground)E----------------------black/white (12Vs)

This also works for hooking a Z32 to a ca16de harness (pulsar 1987)

I thought the R32 RB20 MAF ( and the maxima/laurel/cefiro RB20 ) was rated at 310hp?( thats as its stated on the boostcruising page anyway )

89-94 Maxima AFM is same as rb20det one and it is rated for 310hp, it has a purple sticker and the part number is 22680-16V00.

z32 maf vg30de(tt) maxes out at 480hp

r33 2b25de(t) afm maxes out at 320hp

Ca18det maxes out at 190hp

you have to either run a blow through maf (with the maf relocated somewhere else on the intercooler piping) OR

run a MAP (pressure) sensor and a stand alone ECU that reads pressure rather than flow.
