I got mine from Z1, but I'm sure you can find one from the junkyard somewhere. It's about 1/3 the cost of a new one. I've been reading about symptoms of a failed MAP sensor, and most of my issues were similar: hesitation, lost power, etc. It's something I've dealt with even while bone stock. I can tell you even with my oil temps around the 200F range throttle response is still great.
so has this really solved it? i hardly ever drive my z these days (probably put 1k miles on it this year so far). today i drove it to work and the fucker was not going anywhere in any gears until i hit 3k RPM. as you said, a restart at the next redlight seemed to cure it.
