I went to local pick-n-pull today hoping to score a 300zx ECU and a MAF but the only thing waiting for me there is detached sensor connections dangling in the wind. There are two Z31's(one NA, one turbo) in the yard but the goodies are gone. Disappointed, I stroll around like a tool lugging zombie. Then I discovered 2 other sedans with VG30 engine in them. One is a unknown year "Shiro", the other a 90 Maxima. The MAF on the shiro is hard to access to. The MAF on the maxima can be removed easily, in fact, I have it stashed somewhere until I check out with you guys.
I checked the FAQ but the photo links are dead. Did some searching here and on the internet and found pictures of the Z31 MAF. The Z31 metal MAF has both ends ready to fit to pipes. The Maxima plastic MAF however, has one pipe end and one flanged end with 4 bolt holes.

Then I found the "maxima MAF adapters" on eBay :

I think I can make the Maxima MAF work, opinions?
quick question about ECU in 300zx : Where(please be specific) in the car can I find the ECU? What about ECU from Maxima or Shiro(they all have 3.0L VG30), can they be used as well?
Thanks
