I went to carparts.com but I'm not sure which O2 sensor to get. There's one for about 19 bucks and one for around 90 bucks?? Anyone? Also, isn't the check engine light suppose to go on if your o2 sensor is bad?

The o2 near the cat is ussually the first to go. Its around $90. If you have a broken ground strap in your wiring somewhere your check engine light probly won't come on, but the computer still logs the problem

This is off the topic but how did u change your lights and how much did it cost u?

 

dang i remember Matt saying i bought a tranny cooler and his O2 sensor for about $100. If that O2 sensor is $90 his tranny cooler couldn't have been $10. Hmm well anyways...about the headlights. I bought those 3 series headlights off David the chameleon for $100. He polished them for me because they were used and a little dull. I used a dremel to cut through the metal parts around the headlight because the 3 series headlight doesn't fit properly. That's basically all there was too it. I'm still not too happy with the mounting. David did a good job on his. I still need to find a day where I can borrow someone's headlight aiming tool and remount the lights. Good Luck!!

 

Thanx for the info....I am fixing up the ol'max and I need Motor Mounts thats getting taken care off but now I am ordering some Powered Slotted Rotors(about $86.00each)with some Beck Arnley metal brake pads ($47.00each)....I am on a budget do u think that is a good choice?

 

hey kingston> what about the wiring? was that a problem?

 

you can buy the wiring harness that connects to the light bulbs at most car parts place. If you have some knowledge of wiring up a stereo or something like that, it shouldn't be too hard. To connect the wires, I used soldering iron, solder, shrink tape, and a test light to test for high beam and low beam. I went to Malaysia and saw the JDM stuff over there and the BMWs over there have the inner lights on as well, kinda like a parking light. I plan on doing that someday when I'm not bumming around.

 

aaiiiggghhhtttt

 

Through the years being on the list, I've heard nothing but good things on the Nissan O2 sensor. I believe they ran around $60. The VG max only has one O2 sensor.
