during my installation today me and my friend ran into a little problem..i dont think its a big deal i just need an opinion...

ok im sure you are all well aware of the little pipe with the port for the MAF sensor...well when we were takin it off....it was cold today and we had all 4 screws out but the piece was still stuck on the pipe so we yanked it and one of the pieces that the screw goes in broke...so now its only attached with 3 screws....should i get a replacement piece or it will be fine? everything is running smoothly so far.....sounds great...like i got a turbo kit on it and i feel the difference when i get on it...love it so far....just concerned about that piece...

any help is appreciated....

thanks steve

 

Happened on my 03 Z, I used super glue on it. BTW, you can't just replace that, you have to buy a new MAF and tube, expensive!

Turbo Kit!

 

yeah, I wouldnt buy a new one cause its expensive. Should be ok.

 

If you still have the broken piece, I would recommend you super glue it back! Here's a pic of mine!

 

in order to get that part you must purchase a new mass airflow sensor...

$400!!!

I have one for sale. Like new. 50.00 delivered.

 

yup thats exactly wat happened....i kept the piece...didnt bother super gluing it b/c i figured it wouldnt stay

 

wow that is steep

 

so is it really bad if i decide to just leave it as is?

 

I think you should be fine as long as the seal is complete.

 

do you have a picture, i might be interested ?

 

I just replaced my MAF assembly in my 2000 maxima. I paid $110 at a nissan dealership in Enid, Oklahoma. Is the one for the 350z that much more? ($400)

 

seal is complete...but im gona get some epoxy from work and seal it up eventually lolol
