you can attempt something like this, but the HELP! method is much easier without the need to hardwire anything. Also, I don't believe they would work based on the datalogging I have done on my car. The Z seems to be the opposite of other cars. The ECU is looking for higher voltages rather than lower ones to show the cats are working. With the resisters you attempt to lower the voltage. The opposite of what the ECU is looking for

they are basically spacers used to space the o2 sensor out of the direct path of the exhaust.

you used one for each bank and they screw into the test pipe and your o2 sensor screws into it:

only thing is, you need to drill out 2 of the 4 nonfoulers with a 1/2" drill bit to allow the o2 sensor to fit

Maybe a dumb question but, do you drill all the way through the nonfoulers or just a little hole so the sensor plugs into?
