"How To" Install an AEM Uego wideband o2 sensor and gauge on a QG1.8DE Sentra:

So i installed the AEM Uego today, and man was it a breeze.......here is how to do it, with pics of after i was done....remember i dont have someone there to take pics while i work, and i dont wanna get my camera dirty while working.....

1. Remove second o2 sensor thats before the second cat on the bottom....
and install the AEM Uego o2 sensor they give you.....

2. they give you a really long wire to go from the o2 sensor to the gauge......but the good thing about our cars(at least the series 2 dont know if the older ones have this piece there)

that piece is right above the o2 sensor, its held in by two 10mm bolts and its just a piece of rubber, i tood it out, drilled a hole in it to get the wire through and put it back.....i may run some more wires through later just cause it comes up right behind the center console
all the extra wire.....

3. then they also give you a shorter wire that goes to power, ground, and then two extra wires(one is if you have an AEM ECM and the other is for something else that AEM doesnt make for our cars, so they are not needed to be hooked up)

the one on the left is the power and ground wirethe o2 sensor.....I hooked the power wire to the turn signal fuse(10amp is what the instructions say to use) and the ground to a good chassis ground.

that is all the wiring you need to do.....so to mount the gauge, this is what i did.......
1. took out the shifter area plastic piece, idk what its called, and drilled two holes in the back so the bolts coming out of the gauge could go through and put the supplied nuts to hold the gauge in place....there was a top to that cubbie hole, but i cut it off......

and the finished look:

"How To" is smoothing out the front buck tooth...

1. remove grill, and take off the outer part of the tooth that has the nissan symbol on..
2. take these drill bits and use a drill to remove the 4 tabs that stick out, or you can use whatever you got your hands on to smooth out the tooth..use sandpaper to smooth it out after you make the holes..

3.get some cardboard and tape it to the backside of the tooth were the holes are now..i used 4 different kinds of sandpaper, 120-320-400-1500

4.im not good with bondo so i bondo'd the whole tooth....then i sanded it down with the 120 grit sand paper...and a little bit of the 320 grit.

5.prime it and sand again with the 400 grit if it needs it, if its pretty smooth just use the 1500 grit and prime it again...

6.Paint it and clearcoat it...the paint i used..

5. Clean off everything, The throttle body, intake manifold past the throttle body, just move the butterfly valve with your finger and spray the cleaner inside it, also spray inside the loewr manifold and in all the ports of the entire intake manifold....use the cleaner below for the best results..

"How To" install the $4 wheel hop aid........

1. Go to Home Depot and buy 14 3/4" washers, the SKU down here is 248-762, They were in a box by themselves, no packaging, and they are $.29 each......
2. Jack your car up, I jack it up by the front of the crossmember(the part that sticks down like a crater) and put jackstands wherever you can that makes it safe, I only say that cause i cant use my pinch weld to put jack stands, i can use the jack there but no jack stands, cause of my sideskirts, I put them on the frame behind the control arm mount.....Move the Jack out of the way.


3. Remove the front two bolts on the crossmember......take out the rubber bushings that are there......insert 3 washers on each side between the crossmember and the frame.......put bolts back in tighten all the way.......and i mean all the way.....i used a breaker bar to tighten them, they were out of thread but really tight too...

4. Go to the rear bolts of the crossmember and remove bolts again and rubber bushings........insert 4 washers on each side between the crossmember and the frame..........put bolts back in tighten all the way again........

5. You are done.........get car off jack stands and place to the ground...........start car, and feel the new vibration and go test drive.............
It has a small vibration but it does help with wheel hop........i also have MMI too...

"How To" install a 2.5 cat back on a 1.8

Just so you know right off the bat, that the tip will stick out further and one of the hangers wont fit.....
Also I am writing this off of my experience with only my Greddy Evo2 cat back, never put any other in.....

1. Take off your exhaust, i cut mine off with a sawzaw, do your however you want......you might have to lift the car too....
2. Put the first pipe in of the new cat back, it bolts right up to our midpipe cat........

3. Now hang the tip off the back hangers, closest to the back of the car, and bolt the tip to the rest of the exhaust, it should be right at the axle.........you might have to push the fist pipe and your midpipe forward a little, toward the front of the car......

4. You will need a longer rubber exhaust hanger thing.......for the left side of the exhaust, looking at it from the rear.........

5. Make sure all bolts are tight, lower car, start car and enjoy your new exhaust.......
