Hi all, when I installed the Stillen intake onto my K&N typhoon CAI I noticed that one of the plastic ears on the MAF was cracked...it appears to have just broken on its own...or maybe it was a week spot...in any case my servicing dealer is not going to warranty it b/c they feel Infiniti will not pay them for it...I asked what this comment was based on and all I got was a bunch of mumbo jumbo about Infiniti never paying for anything and Infiniti putting a team of engineers into looking at the part and assuming it was done by me or a mod I must have done...at this point I needed to leave the dealership for fear of losing my temper.

All I know is that this part cracked...why, I don't know, but why is it such a big deal to warranty this part? Does Nissan not have the money to replace a part that must cost them...what...$25 to actually make??? the sad thing is all I need is the housing...not the actual sensor.

Anyway, enough griping, I apologize...Does anyone know where to get the OEM MAF housing or a complete MAF Sensor/Housing for a good price?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Dealer cost is roughly half of MSRP.
http://www.everythingnissan.com/

will give you roughly 25% off of MSRP.
There are a few others on the web. They are dealers who have decides to use out of state ecommerce for additional sales.

 

Thanks Q45 Tech. The below pricing from EverythingNissan.com is 25% off MSRP. Is this the best you could do or can you swing a better deal where you work?

We are a group of 2 independent shops who repair Infiniti and Lexus ONLY in ATL [after the warranty expires other than services], well a few Nissans and Toyota........a JAG or two and a few assorted SPECIAL vehicles.
We pay the same discounted prices [25-30% off] as are available on the WEB but local dealers deliver to us as we buy around $750,000 worth per year.

$366 is a good price. And a cheap education.
You could have swapped/bored out cats learning what expensive things cost.

 

I got the part about getting a good deal but you lost me at the CATs part re: boring them out or swapping them and learning a lesson that way...

This is what you do, rent a g35 for a day, swap out the MAF from the rental and yours, viola you got yourself a cheap MAF. This is not my idea, a buddy did it and it actually worked out ok.
