    Some are OE as is made by the people who supply OE maf sensors to Nissan ,others are copies
    Shop wisely copies not that Good, spray and clean your one first and check with Multi meter before shelling out $$$$$

    Well I cant say for sure but the mafs I sell dont come in oem packaging but I can tell you mine are identical to oem. The early zd30 mafs I have even have the same markings on then as my oem maf in my own car. I have been running one if my mafs for nearly a month and its running perfect.
    I have 2.8Ltr mafs coming hopefully next week and also Denso branded mafs for the later 2004 - 2007 zd30's too. Just playing the waiting game...


    I tapped that app...

    I priced MAF at Nissan and was in the vicinity of $600+. For the housing they were asking somewhere about $1600.
    I told them I would never buy one from there, at that ridiculous price.
    I got one through Repco about $150 I think. Mid last year.
    Was looking through a company called Alibaba that contains many manufacturers and they were priced from about $15 each depending.
    They were a bulk purchase which posed some issues. They were identical to the OEM one in looks, markings etc.
    Not 100% on the resistance compared to OEM though.

    Big risk getting a cheap Chinese one, I'd be to worried as a 15 $ part can cause a bit of harm if its not right But screw Nissans price! That's crazy
