Doesn't hurt to have a spare OEM starter and alternator if your planning on traveling. Nothing like being stuck on the road and having to pay $400 in labor after.

At the end of the day I'm done with MAF's, thanks to @JKTUNING I'm 100% MAP'ed and drove to work and around town without a MAF today.
When I had the N60 it was setup for that. I just had to update the nemu to see the DE maf now.

Gotcha, if you care, you can try to spray it down with some MAF cleaner, but I honestly wouldn't bother. Run the DE one until you max it or E60, lastly you can run a VE/Pathfinder one too.

That entails a weight penalty which is no bueno on an SE-R/NX. I do carry a distributor in addition to the MAF but I've never had an alternator blow on me that fast, and the two times a starter died on me it was near a nice slope... nature's starter.

After I swapped the DE my AFR was thrown for a loop! With the N60 they were all normal(14.7 idle,13.5 WOT, 15.6 cruise) Now cruising the freeway its all the way up to 16.4+ and idle is like 13.5..

This tells me the tuning was way off. The K value and the MAF VQ map were probably not adjusted correctly.
The car hasn't been tuned yet. I am just running the base VE with DE MAF. Finding a bay area tuner that deals with Nissan is a little tough.
But like I said all the AFRs worked fine with the N60 maf.
With nismotronic you set your injector size an select your maf, from there u may nees to tweek the maf load factor a hair to get desired afr at idle.. from there its mostly tuning the fuel map..
