Administrators BRAAP Posted May 19, 2010 Administrators Share Posted May 19, 2010 For the record, NO 280-ZX or Turbo variant came from Nissan with a MASS AIR FLOW sensor! They did however come with an AIR FLOW METER, which is often misinterpreted as a MAF by those that are guessign about their car and its components vs researching and understanding the part in question. AFM and MAF are 2 different sensors, not interchangeable physically or in terminology. Hope that helps, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew what he meant.......... maybe a little too much internet time on your hands. By the way BRAAP I like your Vtec link Edited May 20, 2010 by UofA_ZCar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew what he meant.......... maybe a little too much internet time on your hands. By the way BRAAP I like your Vtec link Knowing what someone meant is one thing and yes I agree, most everyone on this forum knows what he meant. On the flip side, having OCD, I personally struggle with allowing grossly inaccurate terms to be used on a technical based forum, classifieds or not, it is wrong. Other newbs read this willy-nilly inaccurate use of technical terms and continue on perpetuating this assumed inaccuracy creating only more confusion in their future technical discussions because they read it on technical forum, so it must be true... Like calling a 4 stroke engine a 2 stroke. Yes, they both burn fuel and consume air, but they are not the same, nor should the term 2 stroke and 4 stroke be used interchangeably for them. it's just plain wrong. Wish I could take credit for that Vtec video, but its not mine. The Vtec comment is priceless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
