03-06 Nissan 350z Test pipes with Built in mechanical O2 sensor fix

Before you begin, allow engine to cool down. Spray down all bolts & nuts with WD-40 (or similar) and allow it to soak into the threads. The nuts & bolts will seize themselves onto the threads and spaying them down with Liquid Wrench or similar will make it much easier to remove the nuts & bolts.
- Test pipes laid out & test pipes laid out w/ additional wide band O2 ports.
- Close up detail of mechanical O2 sensor fix
- Remove 3 14mm nuts at exhaust manifold/catalytic converter flange. There are three nuts holding the catalytic converter to the exhaust manifold. Two nuts are facing the ground on one side of the flange, the third nut is on the opposite side of the flange. Use a 14mm stubby wrench or “S” wrench to remove the third nut. Repeat for other side.

2007 Mercedes Car Development by Dummies

2007 Mercedes Car Development by Dummies
Climate control experts from DaimlerChrysler haven’t been particularly nice to Dr. Oscar. Recently, for example, they raised his temperature significantly by pointing a heater at his head for half an hour. On another occasion, it looked like they were trying to put Dr. Oscar into deep-freeze hibernation by exposing him to a temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius. Dr. Oscar is a tough customer, though - and he doesn’t hold any grudges about the tortures he’s been put through. He always remains calm and cool - which isn’t surprising, given that Dr. Oscar is a test dummy. Still, he’s anything but stupid, and he’s also remarkably sensitive (see box „Dr. Oscar’s inner values“).

2002 Chevy Avalanche 1500 Installation Instructions Kit #10073

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS, or air bag) must be deactivated during lift kit installation to avoid accidental air bag deployment while working near SRS sensors and wiring. Do not allow anyone near the air bag during lift kit installation. Accidental deployment can result in serious personal injury or death. Refer to your factory service manual/owner’s manual for the recommended procedure to disable the SRS. The SRS must be reactivated before driving the vehicle.
