I need to know what this wire is, its attached the O2 sensor. I thought it was the Mass airflow sensor, but it doesn't connect to the stock rb25 or ka24 plug. I need to know if im missing where this sensor attachs to or if it was wired wrong.

Its not the cam angle sensor, i already have that plugged up, its extended from where the oxygen sensor attaches. In all theory it looks like its supposed to be attached to my mass airflow sensor, but its not the right connector, im wondering if this connector is used for a different mass airflow, or if when i sent it off to Rawbrokerage to have the wire it up, they messed up and didn't wire the correct connector. I had issues with rawbrokerage sending me back broken and missing connectors, i had emailed them and he sent me a replacement connector for one of the broken ones. But they never contacted me about missing or broken connectors when i sent the wiring harness off until after i became upset. I need to know if i have to rewire this connector on my own because it is my mass airflow.

You have a Series I MAFS and a Series II harness. I think the ECU should be fine with running this sensor, buut you will have to get a new plug for the harness. Its a 5-wire plug, similar to the 5-pin SR ignitor plug...They are tough to find, but very doable.

Here is an upside-down picture of the RB20 MAFS connector.In your case, you have to match the 3 wires from the 3-wire plug to their respective locations in the picture...Orange/Blue is the signal wire, so it connects to the white color wire.

Good luck.

p.s. The black wire with a silver tracer is chassis ground.

I recognize that harness because I had it in my hands at one point.The harness was wired for a series 2 into a s13 chassis, that is THE CORRECT s2 maf plug and you have the wrong maf sensor...simple as that.Either purchase a s2 maf or an e60/e61 maxima maf and it will work just fine, they are about 35$ on ebay give or take any given day.FWIW the maf you have is off of some subaru, they use the R60 maf and that is definately a subaru harness plug, far from nissan.

and again FWIW when i recieved the harness the plug for the FCID was broken off inside of it, no possible way that I could have broken the sensor on the engine off inside of the harness while I had it.I remeber this harness in particular because you had sent ricky an email about it and I made a special trip to the junkyard to get a new FCID for your car at my cost.

Enjoy the swap but please get the facts straight...I have pictures from when you sent them to ricky of the plug with the broken sensor plug still in it.

Thank you for the info, and im sorry that i was upset at having paid almost $350 for a wiring splice and finding out that if connectors were broken they would not be replaced. I don't believe im the only person that would be upset in that situation. I liked the job that was done for the most part, i was just upset at the fact i paid a large amount of money and received it back in what i felt was unsatisfactory condition. I love rawbrokerage and will continue to buy parts for my car from them because they offer competitive pricing. I was not informed before purchase that if connectors were broken they would not be replaced, i had assumed that was built into the price, or at the very least would have been contacted about the situation, i don't believe that these things are to much to ask. Again, thank you for the helpful info, sorry for any inconvenience on your part. Im just trying to figure out this situation and adjust so i can finish my swap.

not a problem, but I do take a bit of pride in my work...which is why I have had very few (about 2 total) issues in the past 4 years I have been converting harnesses.

just track down an e60/e61 maxima maf like i said and you'll be home free.
