Does the computer have to be reprogrammed? I get different answers from everyone. Dealer has never done it, so they don't know. Computer should learn on its own right?

The part numbers for the sensors are different and there are other detail differences between the engines on these years. If it were me, I wouldn't do it.

I'm not a Nissan Master Technician. But as an electrical engineer and part time auto technician, my approach would be to install whatever part was specified by Nissan for my car. However if, for some reason you must try to use the 2006 sensor, then find out what companies actually manufactured both sensors and compare their electrical specifications. Hopefully Nissan's MAF part supplier company hasn't changed in 3 years and it's essentially the same part. The MAF sensor has to go through a contaminant burn-off stage when the car is started to refresh it's sensitivity to air flow. You'll need to locate the website for the MAF part manufacturer and possibly talk to a technical support representative at the company to get the electrical specifications. Of course you can always just make sure you have the wires hooked up right and go ahead and try it in the car, but I guess it's possible it could damage your Engine Control Computer.

How do you know it needs to be changed ?? Parts swapping is not an answer to most problems.
