The system this customer order is a generation 2 system, witch comes with tunner and knock sensor light.
Im new to 350z's, I have been tunning mustangs and more domestics so this is a first for me.
Well my question is.
Is the tunner mounted on the car or is it only used for the tunning process?
Also when installing the O2 sensor it says to drill before the cat, but theres hardly any room. DOes it go on the header?
Also anyone have a link to a proper install? The one that came with the kit is very vauge. Im looking for a step by step tutorial. I can do the tunning as far as installing this is a lil new to me.

The tuner stays in the car. Good for home tuning on the street and to keep an eye on A/F ratios.
Most ppl install the O2 sensor on a set of test pipes. They have a hole drilled and threaded to fit the sensor.
UTEC should plug right in. Make sure you start developing your map (on a PC with a 9V battery attached to the UTEC) for the UTEC before you attemp to install it in the Z. The base map that's on the UTEC isn't very good and can potentially hurt motors that utilize a turbo or supercharger. SO PLEASE SET ALL YOUR FUEL, TIMING, and KNOCK SENSOR SETTINGS BEFORE INSTALL!!!
Sharif or some of the guys are MRC could probably help you out with anything else the UTEC has to offer. They are the pros around here.

AAM I assume?
I would ask Sharif or the guys from MRC. I run a stock fuel system, so I don't know. I use the UTEC for my nitrous setup. SOrry.
I believe I have posted some pics of my setup when I installed it.. Search around the tuning forums for them. I have a G so its a little different as far as the interior goes, but pretty close..
If you still have the stock cats then I would recommend getting test pipes.. If you hvae test pipes then drill BEFORE where its NOT resonated...
Heres a pic..
If you were to drill for the o2 sensor just drill the bung a few inches away from the sensor that is already there.. If you need any more help, pm m will try to do the best I can..

Well you can keep it in the glovebox when you are using it to tune. When your not using it just unplug the cords and take it inside, leaving the cords that are hooked to the UTEC and/also the power cord in the glove box.. The G is different as I have a cubby above my glove box, that is where I keep mine..
There are pics by audible mayhem of his in his glove box somewhere in the tuning forums.. He made a cutout so he can see the LED at all times..

hey man, the utec should have come with a cd that has all the info on it, if not go to www.turboxs.com and download it. its easy to find on there. it has all the install instructions and everything you need to know.
after you do that and read the manual at least 5 times, no kidding, all the way through, then pm me if you still need help.
i have all utec accessories as well and can help you if you need anything else.
thanks
the tuner is mounted in the car but most people hide it due the the larger size. you just need to add a bung on the driver side up high, before the cats. utec and tuner instructions will be on that site i posted. good luck
the tuner is basically a wideband that datalogs through the utec along with the rpms for perfect tuning,

that o2 sensor isn't going to reach the depth necessary to read the exhaust flow....just a thought. your sensor is inside your spacer and not the cat exhaust inlet...don't know how that's gonna work out but let us know.

why are you using a spacer on your wideband sensor? won't you be getting false readings with it setup like that???

you are correct though...there is very little room before the cat. also remember to put the sensor at an upward angle. i didn't do this but it can be done if you take the cat off for the bung install. mine is pointing slightly downward but away from anything that would cause the cable to bind up

guys please don`t tell me that i can`t place the WB Sensor after the resonator on my UTR Resonated TP, if not then i have to order Fast Intension's Resonated TP :/ then why the hell i did order the UTR from the beginning 
BTW, i`ve read on a couple of manuals such as Tuna and Innovate LC-1, that on the cars with cat u should place the WB Sensor before the cats, but they didn`t mention anything about the Resonated Test Pipes.

I fixed my message as it did sound a little misleading.. The pic I posted above is showing you the test pipe with the cars o2 sensor. I have a bung on their so I dont throw a code.. That is NOT my wideband o2 sensor as some of you may think.. I didnt have a pic of my wideband sensor so I threw up the test pipe with the stock o2 sensor for reference.. Of course your not going to drill into the resonated part of the test pipe, that will destroy it. Also there is plenty of room to drill and weld a bung, you just gotta do it to it..

What will happen if i disconnected one of the O2 Sensor Permanently, and installed The WB Sensor instead of it ?, on the factory manual it says this o2 won`t affect the car as much as the Front O2 Sensor ( the one on the headers ) what do you think, i might try it before drilling my UTR :1 really don`t wanna drill this Great TP :P
