Testing O2 sensors of the car.
It switches between the 2 banks - left O2 sensor test then change to right O2 sensor test to see each sensor in turn switching

good job I won a flux capacitor on ebay for my zed then!!! :thumbup:
-
Testing O2 sensors of the car.
Agreed! Stick it in mode 2 diagnostic mode with the sensors installed & check the O2 sensors are switching. I have never tried testing by heating them up to be honest but not sure what this would test - yes, the sensor has to be up to operating temperature to work but switches depending on the oxygen content (how rich or lean the mixture is) not how hot the probe is?! If it switches just because the temperature is in the operating range & when it cools down, how do you know if it is switching based on mixture??

Really nice zed interior pics wanted for viewing
Tony Lacks was one of the nicest interiors I have seen on a Zed - I dont usually like light interior colours but the pictures really dont do the seats justice - it really was a great job!! http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=87575

running bov-less - help for people considering it!
LOL! what timing gear did you use for this as the tests I have seen had a recorded difference in favour of using recircs! Or did it just "feel" quicker. A bit like the lad at my work who fitted a max power air filter to his fiesta?! :whistling:

LOL at this thread!! A dyno will prove nothing at all as the BOV or recirc valve will not come into play until after you lift off the throttle!! Why do you think they fit them then?! I have an article somewhere where they tested a car with BOV's, Recircs & no BOV - the recirc fitted car came out on top. Now this is only by a small margin but that is the same with most mods - an induction kit will make a small improvement, so will a lightweight flywheel, as too with an underdrive pulley etc. Add them all up & so the differences add up. Facts are a BOV will reduce compressor stall allowing the turbo to build pressure quicker when you hit the throttle again on a gearchange. As small as it may be it will still improve performance!
