On my G35 the wire connection is Terminal point 35. I would suggest getting a Wideband meter, once you hook the Autometer up you will see what I mean. That thing jumps all around, not very accurate. I sold mine on eBay after about 2 days. No offense.

Cost is about $400 for a wideband..
I use this http://www.zeitronix.com/

You are reading narrowband right now, which is not accurate.

Here is what I would suggest. Get the M-300 or M-250 from www.plxdevices.com and their wideband to narrowband converter. This will allow you to use the Autometer gauge. The M-250 can be had for around $300 with the sensor and the converter is like $40.

u know, next time i should do a little more research BEFORE i buy stuff. first and last time i do that.

the main reason why i went with the gauge was because it was a specific fit and it was the same name brand as my other 2. i didnt want to have different brand name gauges.

thanks for the help everyone. i appreciate it.

teh215, you posted just what i wanted to hear(read). ill probably go with what you mentioned. even though its going to cost me a bit more overall, the gauges will match, and i wont have to worry about selling and buying gauges. thanks a ton.
