How does that work you just monitor the one side or do you need a y pipe with the sensor in the middle?

It just monitors one side. Monitoring both is unnecessary because both sides of the engine will be equal in terms of air/fuel. I have my sensor welded in front of the cat area (so its not on the headers but it is extremely close

Hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmm how is it wired just a hook into the power outlet and run the sensor?

Not that I could adjust anything of my AF was off anyways but It might be nice to know.

Its relatively simple wiring. Power, ground, dimmer, and exhaust sensor. Power can be tapped into anything that has 12V with the ignition on (I tapped into the radio). Ground is straight forward. And dimmer I tapped into the headlight wire going into the headlight housing itself. I found the wire that has voltage when any running lights are on, so the second lights turn on, the gauge gets a little dimmer.

Im sure I can find an install manual on their website

I too have a wideband welded in just before the cat area. I've diagnosed problems about 50 miles before getting a CEL, twice now. It's a nice piece of mind to let you know if something is wrong.

First big trip with the new diff in? Let us know how the extra rpms are.

And I'm stuck on campus with project work until Thanksgiving. All I want to do is get my Z working and lines tucked away. 'le sigh

So far I've probably got 50-60 miles on the diff. The change from 3.5 to 3.7 gears is minimal, as expected. I dont think anybody other than myself would notice the change by riding in the car. I do feel like the car has some more grunt to it. More so feels like it gets into the power band quicker.

The poly bushings definitely feel better than 105k miles rubber ones, havent tested if my wheel hop is reduced yet so I will report back.

And so far I think Ive only picked up 2-300rpm at 80mph so really not bad

Hey CJM, is there any chance you have your oem exhaust still?

So the potential buyer is coming tomorrow to check out the car instead. He actually asked me if I still had the oem exhaust cause he prefers that over an aftermarket exhaust but will take the car as if if he has to.

Now I really want to find a way to switch out exhausts. Dboyz, I actually do want to get your exhaust but man you're a bit of a drive from me.

And I managed to find a brand new leftover kicker amp from 2010. Its the newer version of the one I had. And yea I would say that kicker did in fact under-rate these amps


Hey Craig, check out my old setup haha. Just ran into this.

I do not have one on me, however I'd be more than willing to trade my Nismo S-Tune for it if that is what the buyer wants. Could even give you my OEM cats if you need them still. If you haven't heard the S tune in person, they are close to a stock sound, but louder above 3500rpm. They also look near stock with the standard looking muffler with just slightly bigger tips

yup, I actually had the nismo S Tune before the motordyne.

The meeting with the buyer was moved to today. If it doesn't happen, we can work something out for the trade.

Let me know how it works out. Also let him know that if he does want to purchase the car, that a more tame exhaust is available for him. Good luck!

Made it to Rochester. The poly diff bushings feel SOO much better. The rear end feels much more solid under any kind of acceleration/spinning

O yeah bushings make a solid difference, I changed my subframe and diff at the same time, its noticeable difference for sure. My oem bushing was blown to **** and my car hopped like a champ...

Mine weren't blown (surprising being that I'm at 105k miles), but I also had mega hop. Very minimal hop now

Jesus my car only has 78k miles and my **** was blown to shitola... I had the bright idea that it would be easier to just change both at the same time... It was so much fun.

I assume by both you mean you changed the bushing as well as the 2 diff ears? I also swapped out the ears

O no by both I mean the differential and the subframe bushings
