He got the front

 

[RedAlertV]

Yes sir, front it is. But why is the rear the biggest pain in the azz? Looks pretty simple to me, then again I wouldn't know cause I don't have it.

 

[freddddddy]

Here it is folks. Sorry they're phone pictures

Random process pictures.


The issues with the installation are that:
#1 my O2 sensor that is attached to the oem header was stuck so we stripped it trying to get it out. Right now I'm running without the sensor but I should have that fixed soon
-solution: Cut the wires off the oem sensor and buy aftermarket one and just splice the ends. hopefully it won't cost too much.
#2 A bolt broke off in the connection between the straight pipe and the OEM cat-back so there's pieces of it stuck in the hole.EDIT-->Pic #4. I'm also running this part without the bolt on that side (there's two sides which you can see in the picture)
-solution: Buy another bolt like it and put it in and use a tool that will get the broken off part out of the hole.

Overall it took about 3 1/2 hours. The really hardest part was bending the heatshield out of the way so we could have more room to get the bolts and nuts off the OEM header. It's HELLA cramped under there! I used the stock gasket, OEM, bc others have reported a leak and I guess I'll be the tester for using the OEM gasket. No, I didn't put the heat shield back on the OBX header. Yes I currently have a leak but that's only bc the bolt broke off and it's not secured properly.

I think thats all, if you guys have any further questions, feel free

Whoops that second picture didn't post like I wanted... it's supposed to be the opening showing the end of the OBX header where the straight pipe attaches to.

Also, it sounds nasty

 

[RedAlertV]

So you decided to go Cat delete ah. Hope that don't present a problem when emission time comes. Overall looks good, all you need now is that Cat-Back exhaust and you'll be set =)

 

[freddddddy]

Yeah. Emissions aren't until mid next year so I'll let the future me worry about that lol

And correct sir, it looks a little sad connecting the rusted cat to the shiny header pipe

 

[Tubtub]

I'm worried that flared end that seals the downpipe to the backcat isnt going to seal correctly. Looks like a different size from the pics.

 

[freddddddy]

I ordered the replacement O2 sensor and got it for $87 as well as same brand that the stock one was. DENSO. Whenever that comes in I'll go and pull out the straight pipe and put it in as well as seal in the connected part. There's still a very small leak but it's nothing like it was before so the sound went way down which is good, kind of too loud in the cabin.

 

[Tubtub]

what exhaust are you using? oem?

 

[freddddddy]

what exhaust are you using? oem?

yup that'll be upgraded later when I get more money

 

[Tubtub]

What are you going with? The dc exhaust is real nice.

 

[freddddddy]

Yup that'll be the one, I already looked at the other option Greddy and decided with this one

 

[Tubtub]

I got mine from autoaccessoriesgarage.com for $387 shipped. I saved 10% since I was a new member and got free shipping. Not to shabby.

Nice. I like that

On another note, today on my way to the gym I found a spot by another versa hatchback and parked by it. It was an SL in red, sports kit and everything. When I stepped back and admired the cars :ihih: I noticed that the shades of red were not the same. Now I wasn't quite sure what year it was but it was very clean so I'm guessing new-ish. No one in my city takes care of versus but me lol Anyway, my red was darker than theirs

Does anyone know if during production of newer ones they're using different colors?

Back to the OBX topic:

The sensor came in yesterday from AUTOPARTS WEARHOUSE

The install will be probably this weekend hopefully along with the sealing of the straight pipe and stock exhaust catback.

 

[freddddddy]

Update:

False alarm, autoparts wear house doesn't sell the correct fuel sensor. I talked to them for a good 25 minutes and ended up not having the correct part listed in the catalog so don't go buying a header O2 sensor from these guys. Do your research throughly before purchasing.
I haven't gotten time to buy a new one. I'll probably end up getting it from nissan directly to avoid any more mistakes. Still having an exhaust leak :/ Maybe will be finally fixed around next week who knows

 

[freddddddy]

Forgot to mention, bought Megan springs and HID kit from hidextra.com . no idea when these will be installed. Someone needs to make a DYI video for hid kits so I can tackle it myself!

 

[Tubtub]

You can do the springs without removing the cowl, I did. In case the wiper arms are bastards like mine were.

I can not make sense of what the hell you are trying to say. Try using some punctuation man.
