I'd hate to have to keep resetting the ECU to turn it off if it's going to keep coming on. Thanks.

Basically you add some drilled out spark plug non-foulers to the O2 bungs. It ends up basically spacing the probe of the rear O2 sensors out about 2". By doing this you take the O2 probe just far enough out of the exhaust stream so that the change it is looking for in the lean rich signal is read correctly. Its a relatively simple mod and works well on various Nissan motors even those with a wideband O2. These are pre-welded in the bungs on all Turbonetics kits....bottom line=no O2 SES light.

I'm not too familiar with how our cats/sensors/ECM work/communicate, so the more info. on this I can get prior to making a decision, the better. I just want it to be able to pass the inspection process that I described above.
The best thing to do is install the Turbonetics down pipes with high flow cats, that's what I will be doing.

If this is the case, I think it'll be fine here in Houston, as all they do for OBDII inspection is jack into the OBDII port and see if everything is kosher according to the car's computer; they do no physical sniffer test. Am I missing something?

its a defi d-gauge.... i know i know its not accurate for anything and "just a light show" but will it even show anything at all?? its a needle type that would normally bounce back and forth just to look cool... will it do anything with the reflash or is it just going to sit there? if it is its fo sale never been opened! 52MM black face amber numbers, matches the stockers perfectly
