NEW MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR MAF NISSAN VEHICLES 22680-9E005 | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MASS-AIR-FLOW-SENSOR-MAF-NISSAN-VEHICLES-22680-9E005-/150803126669?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A240SX&hash=item231c91198d&vxp=mtr#ht_1840wt_1270)
i saw that s14 maf on ebay and it looks alright, I was wondering if any of you guys had personal experiences with this sort of product? to know if it's legit or I should steer clear, please help out if you have any knowledge.
Thanks so much

People forsome reason assume EVERYTHING from ebay is bad quality and a waste of money.. they are wrong.. they just see other people buy the cheapest stuff because they dont look at feed back and how many items the seller has sold....
As you can see, this seller has sold over 107k items with 98% positive feed back.. that is basically AMAZING numbers so you can rest assured youll be ok with this part..

rule of thumb ebay quality parts are crap u get what you pay for
But how can you say that EVERYTHING on ebay is crap ??? If someone is selling a legit Garret turbo unopened... is that considered crap ? This is where its a matter of studying ... not everything sold on ebay is crap, its just that you have to mainly rely on how well their positive feedback is and how many items they sold... If the amount of items sold through certain seller is high and the feedback is high.. thats just fact that they are obviously selling good products if everyone is saying good things about them...
I believe the statement " you get what you pay for " is true to a certain extent ...... If you lets say buy a 400 dollar radiator ... and the next company lets say CX racing sell theirs for 180 .... its truely in my opinion just paying for the name.. i run CX racing radiators on all my vehicles and they are awesome quality and i would never spend such high prices on another rad like mishmoto or others etc... Its just knowing how to save money yet not waste it at the same time...
How ever buying turbos that statement is 100% true.. if someone buys a 100 dollar turbo then it WILL go bad..

so this isn't a debate on what item is best, I just want to know if anyone who bought something similar to this on ebay and what their experience was. Regardless, I bought it anyway to see if it works good

Just because you use shitty ebay parts doesn't mean everyone else should.

I just bought a used MAF off ebay that looks good(have not tried or tested yet), but Rockauto.com also has them for 20 bucks more than what I payed used for the lowest price new, and you get to pick your brand. I would check rockauto if you do not trust ebay enough, but I found the ebay OE parts are usually the cheapest parts off rockauto anyway.

good stuff, rockauto sells parts that work, with that being said I just need this maf to work and it sounds like it will. If rockauto will sell it, I'm sure it's a useable product
Thanks for that info.
