Since installing my Labree test pipes, I threw an SES after about 50 miles. I didn't do the non-fouler trick at first because I thought there was a chance I wouldn't see the light (I have an '04, turns out it must be an '04.5 since I threw the SES). Went down to Pep Boys, spent 8 bucks on the two sets of non-foulers, spent about 15 minutes installing them. There were two sets you could buy, I think the Z takes the 18mm (the guy at the parts desk actually went and got a 350Z O2 sensor to see which size was correct).

Here are the pics of everything. Even though there are alot of threads about this already, I made one because none seem to have pics, and hopefully this thread will clear up any questions for future instals.

First off, for those who don't know, you need to buy TWO pairs of the non-foulers. One pair needs to be drilled out with a 1/2" drill bit (Most drills can't hold this bit, look at the pics of the drill I used... its over 30 years old). Once one set is drilled out, you take a drilled non-fouler and screw it onto the O2 sensor. Then take the NON-drilled one and screw it onto the DRILLED one. So the order goes, O2 sensor-->Drilled-->Non-drilled-->test pipe/cat. Once you go to do the drilling and everything, the order makes sense.
