Then when your tune was done they didn't disable the check engine light...
With the UpRev you should not get the SES light.

Ugg. I didn't have the problem when I got retuned. It showed up 3-4k later. And kept coming on. Having a tune doesn't automatically get rid of the light man. Yes they could turn it off, but like I said, I would have to go back to them. And no need now that the SS Wool fixed it.

Up-Rev can disable the light.. The SS wool trick did not work for me.. That S*&T Is way to flammable. It just burns away in the exhaust. Im jsut going b what i know and what My tuning performance shop is telling me and I believe them when they have Z's.. GTR's and what not in the shop all day long.. lol

I'm not getting TP's until I get a tune, specifically so I can have them disable that CEL. They will be added in conjunction with one another.

The SS Wool that Berk sent me will not catch fire. No idea what you had but Stainless Steel stuff they had I could put a torch to it, and nothing happens.

And AGAIN, this was after I had my car tuned. I was not going to drive back to UPREV to have them adjust my tune and turn that sensor off. It can wait till I get tuned again, but then what is the point, my SS wool worked just fine for me.

I trust Berk over any so called performance shop as Berk made the HFCs and sends out quality stuff.

You seriously need to stop giving advice You text me all day with questions that are more basic then the alphabet. Then come on here and try to tell people who know what their doing how to do something you couldnt accomplish. The reason the steel wool burnt up is because you put a damn acetalyne torch to it. OF course it will burn. There are dozens of people who have used steel wool on here with proven results. IF solo used the Uprev to disable his Light for the O2's he would still fail an Inspection because the monitor would never ready itself.

You packed in the Steel wool wrong, thats why your light came back on. Get over it.

Here again. You ask me for advice, and I give you a less then 10 dollar fix. Im looking at the gaskets right now by my desk, their like 1.50 a piece. If you would have asked if you could get them from me I probly would have given you them for free.

Get new metal gaskets from nissan so we can see you back here the next day complaining about the same noise.

No wonder every other state hates people from NY.

^ LOL damn OjiggyO!! Easy on the coffee.

Mind giving me some advice? Is my "hrisstle" from the gaskets then? I didn't get gaskets from turboxs so the shop used the stock ones somehow. Please help, my car sounds awesome when its not making that rattling noise aka *hristtle.

BTW light came on today and as long as it doesn't mess with performance I don't mind it. I'll just get it taken off when I tune it. I could just have it diagnosed every 5k to make sure nothing else is wrong.

Well for some reason my car got worse gas mileage when it came on. And I noticed the car was more sensitive to bringing the light on with Chevron gas over Shell. So I been solely Shell gas and now with the SS Wool, no issues at all.

NY350Z, Go pick up some of these: http://www.energeticforum.com/renewa...n-foulers.html

Spark Plug non-foulers. And follow his method.

And get some more Steel Wool and stuff it in there. Your problem will be solved. It's harder on Test pipes to get rid of the light vs HFCs.

well there may be something there. I had 93 octane on my car when installed. This morning I filled with 91 and it came on 10 miles later.

When the light is on the car begins to run richer from the low threshold code.. It's odd but for some reason the car burns more fuel.

And JIGGY! When I do eventually meet you.. Im gonna hurt you, hahaha. I had originally thought that maybe the stock gaskets were broken or worn.. So relaxxxxxxx, Looks liek im going to an auto parts store and getting a diffrent kind of gasket. I also want to put some copper silicone gasket sealer on them F^&kers.
