Just keep in mind that EPA rats have also something to say about o2 sensors, so make sure it is in right place, and 100% operable as the rats at EPA have acquired a new computer that anylizes everything and shows a graph of how your o2 sensor is operating.

However, it is good for the environment, but also makes a difference in economy, i get around 50k out of a full tank more since i replaced the o2 sensor.

And as 'GTS4nMore' said, dont confuse the o2 sensor with the exhaust temp sensor, to complete different things, yet so similar in shape.

there is no obd ii software for skylines in oz, u can tell it its a 300zx and some things will work but the rats as u call them cannot do jack about it because its inaccurate and not for the right model car.

Well mate, i dont know about you guys in Brisbane, but down here in Melb have upgraded our systems.

I just went for EPA a few weeks ago, and failed it, he showed me the graphs on the copmputer that test the o2 sensor.

It shows a complete analysis of the things they look for, and in my case the o2 sensor was operable but wasnt 100% like it should be, he asked me about my fuel consumption etc etc, i had to replace it Costed me $155 for the sensor.

2nd pass, it passed no worries.

      Welcome Thomas! Sounds like you've made some progress. Are you able to drive it and enjoy it a bit now ?

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
