hey , i've got an r32 gtst, and just bought an xforce 3inch cat. i tried to remove the sensor in the stock cat but coz its rusted in heaps i just rounded the bolt. any ideas on how i could get it off??

I was also thinking as a last resort to just cut it off and not run one at all, would that be a problem??

Need help.

thanks.

what about in a 33 ?? I thought they did connect to the ECU....

makes sense for the ecu to know exhaust temps... its important for tuning vehicles to have exhaust temps.....

For tuning yes, for stock, prolly not so, as zhaust temp can be derived of sorts from the O2 sensor.

I doubt strongly the sensor is of any real accuracy; and truly IS just to warn when the things too hot (blocked)

Thread revival :D I just found out my sensor cable coming out of the cat is snipped and I can't find the cable that goes from the car to the cat but my question mainly is in reference to its importance in tuning. I am about to have my car tuned. Should I get this sorted out beforehand?

Don't worry about it - it has no effect on the tune.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
