unplug the O2 sensors
#3
P0140 & P0160 should appear. this code is O2 sensor no activity, one for each bank. this will cause your ECU to go into closed loop mode and you run the chance of plugging your precats. if you get a y-pipe you will eliminate the precats altogether.
why would you want to do this? disabling your emmisions system in order to gain a few HP is rediculous. sorry just my opinion.

i am already got a ECU upgrade already...paid 100& 60 minimum check engine..the SES light came back on after 30 miles..damn...a waste.. any suggestion?? replace 02 sensors or y-pipe? cus i don't wanna pay 900 for the 2 stock pre-cats from dealer for my max(cali spec).

is po430 the front precat (radiator side) or firewall side. If it's the firewall side, you're in luck, a y pipe eliminates the "firewall side" precat. But if it's the front precat, then you'll probably have to get one from Nissan, try DAVE Burnett for a price. Or again, get headers and modify the location of the downstream O2 sensors. On the Cali spec cars, only one precat is eliminated because the front precat is used to fool the ecm into thinking you still have two precats. The "firewall" side downstream O2 sensor will read exhaust from the "radiator" side if you get a y pipe.
