So me being the idiot that I am, I overtorqued my IAT sensor and ended up breaking the threads inside the bung.

Luckily I managed to get the broken piece out of my bung.

So now I need another sensor as it sesms like my best choice at the moment.

Pictured below is the aftermath, as well as the box the sensor it came in.

I am running a Nissan S13 SR20DET (RWD) engine with the Power FC D-Jetro.

Questions:

1) Is this sensor easily available from local Mazda dealers (in US/Canada)?
I ask because I am in Canada and from the little bit of searching I did, it appears this is a factory IAT sensor for the Mazda FD3S and a friend told me a base FD will also have it?

2) Would the GM IAT sensor be an alternative? How is it to calibrate/configure?

The GM IAT is not compatable as this had been tried before by others. It has a different temp vs resistance curve.

Just buy the correct Mazda one.

Are you able to confirm whether these Mazda ones can be readily available or have to be shipped from Japan?

Sometimes, I am just tired of playing the waiting game. I had such anticipation for this Sat. to hook up the PowerFC and all I had to do was break one little sensor.

My friend told me I can run without the IAT but I'd rather not. Comments?

Well I just called a few Mazda dealer around town, and I was quoted $62.65CAD ($56.50USD) for the part.

Sucks having to work f/t because I could get it same day but now have to wait till next Monday/Tue.

Well, lesson learned.
