I'm in Topeka Kansas. you'll have to give me your zip code if you want a shipping price, and I could have it to you on tuesday if you want to pay for next day air. Since today is friday, it won't ship till monday.

Everyone's beat me to the punch, but if none of the above work out I'll sell you one of my 4.

Yeah, FOUR. It seems like everything I buy comes with a CA AFM included.

i live in 33162.Let me ask, I hear the KA24E MAF is the same as the sr20det MAF. If i use my old KA24E maf how bad will it read?

Cause i already have a ca18det maf coming (from Australia) in the mail, i just need one to use for now.

You can use the KA24E MAFS. It should read exactly (or pretty darn close) to the same.

that KA24E should be slightly larger MAF (physically) so less flow restriction, than the CA18DET one. You might as well use the KA24E (not KA24DE) MAF.

That's what I'm doing until I get my hands on a 89-94 Maxima VG (same as RB20DET) MAF or Z32 MAF ($$$$)

So the Maxima MAF is the identical to the RB20?

like this. Obviously need a retune or S-AFC type gizmo to use it..

actually not sure what the end year is might not be 94. its 89-91 at least.VG30E or whatever maxima

They're all over the place at a yard I frequent, didn't pick one up because I was looking for a Z32. I recall something about the small difference in part numbers between the two, N60 for the Maxima and N6x (N62? can't recall) for the Z's, something of the like, so I'd spot them and move on. It should be able to support more than enough. This is promising news!

Do you know what the voltage range is for it, and/or the pinout configuration? Just curious; this would be great for me. I certainly don't need the 500HP headroom of a Z32.

If you have ROMEDITOR or wtf that free Nissan ECU ROM editor is called it has a built in map for the RB20DET already, if you go into the menu (forget which one), then VQ Map replace or something like that, it has options for Z32, CA, SR, RB20, RB26 etc... it will replace the VQ Map with the corresponding VQ Map for the MAF, no other changes needed for the MAF change. If you also changd injectors you'd have to figure what the change in K value (base injector width) should be to scale from XXX cc to XXX cc (i.e. 370 to 450), should just be a percentage difference I'd think (assuming linear flow which is all we can really do), I think for 370 to 450 you'd multiple by 0.822~ IIRC. Stock is 370? Or was it SR is 370? regardless, example stands, if correct math, new K = oldcc/newcc * old K.
