I can't exactly fit my socket over the damn thing, thanks to the wire. Crescent wrench is a no go, the head of the o2 sensor is in a hole, where only a socket would reach into.
there is a tool for it

if it's still tight use some PB blaster and let it soak for a few couple.

You can also tap around the 'bung' where the O2 sensor threads into to shock it free.

The G mostly a car show baby then?

I'm willing to bet hitting the bump jolted a battery terminal, turning on the SES light. Happened to my G all the time. Every now and then the negative terminal even pops off, stalling the car. That happened until I decided to put a wood screw through the terminal to make sure it holds.

If you are having problems driving over those bumps at even 45MPH, then you might want to rethink your suspension. Something firmer, that doesn't give as much or have as much rebound might be better.
How do you drive a car like you stole it with a ridiculous set-up? Your bound to cause damage, so why do it? I'm thristy, u?

Anybody know if I want to throw on the 03-04 rear OEM bumper with nismo rear lip on my 05, do I need the mudguards as well? Or can I just buy the bumper and lip and boom pair it together?

what's up everyone I'm back.
I sold me sedan a week ago.
but before I sold it, my steering wheel was severely crookedn from a month ago where I drove fon dirt onto pavement and not realizing the pavement was hire and I hit it and my alignment went wack.
I adjusted the tie rods so the wheel could be center lol.

but as I did this, sometimes I I aligned it wrong, the trac and ses light would come on.
then u adjusted it so the wheel was straight and no lights.

but why would those lights come one. is the ecu tht smart to know that the alignment is that messed up?

ISO a g coupe or a Z now!

From all the problems you've been reporting with that car, it should have been scrapped for parts. I feel bad for whoever bought it

Hey guys wanted someone info to make sure ive pin pointed the issue so I can order the right parts.

1) When making U turns if I step on the gas more or am carrying a lot of speed; the car makes a metal clanking sound (its pretty loud and is very annoying). When I straighten my steering wheel the sound disappears. Are my wheel bearing shot?

2) Brake rotor on the front left side has a crack in it. Im considering Stop tech slotted and OEM rotors. Which is better? Price difference between the two is about $40 in total for 4 rotors.

3) Looking to get rotors, pads and bearing hub assemblies changed (if the problem in 1. is the wheel bearing) so how long should it take the shop to work on all 4 wheels.

Thanks in advance.
