Recently my CEL went on and I went to autozone to see what was going on. They said I need a new Oxygen sensor downstream on the right side. I have a sedan 03, do i need to get a OEM one or can i get an aftermarket?

 

OEM is always better for smog related components.

 

Okay, do you know if that part is hard to replace or should I just go to a shop and pay the labor?

 

Shouldn't be too hard. They are usually on there tight as fug, and I'm not sure exactly how hard they are to reach in this car. If you can't get the leverage you need it may be difficult. Not sure. Of course I always find one way or another, so I can't say go to a mechanic. If you are not sure tho, I guess its an option.

 

Okay thanks for the feedback!

 

hello, i just bought an 06 black 6mt g35 and its my first non-bmw car im looking to make my G35 sound 5 times better. what do you guys recommend ?

 

motordyne. use search bar and you will see

 

Any slammed guys here run with their splash shield off? Mine is hanging off from the back and is scraping every small imperfection in the road, looks like a few of the mounting holes are torn. I'm gonna try and duct tape it or something but cannot afford a new one after getting my lower control arms replaced..

 

What's a splash sheild? Lol its fine I don't have any on my car anymore and I only have the back half of my front fender liners just so dirt doesn't get kicked up into my door jam.

 

Splash shield/undertray that thing thats below your engine, the thing that hangs the lowest under the car lol. Wow if you dont run your fender liners, you know what your fender height is at? I'm at almost 24.5" on coupe 18s and my tires rarely rub the liner.

 

LOL yeah I kinda didn't have choice though, the splash shield got ripped in half on the freeway and i lost the one half lol. But I had to take off the front of the liner. If I remember correctly I set the height at 23" on 245/35/20. It rubbed the crap out of them so in the shed they went.

Although I recently hit a huge puddle and it kicked up water into my headlight and blew the balast. But the person I got the lights from didn't seal the holes from the hid fog lights so I fixed that and it should be good now. That's the only problem I've had so far.

 

Anyone know the Low Tire Pressure warning threshold for when the light kicks on?

According to the inside of my door, the recommended pressure is 30PSI, I usually do 31, but either between a slow leak or colder temperatures, my light will turn on when I have a tire at like 28.5 or 29PSI.

That seems pretty extreme to have it engage so soon, I guess I am used to other cars where it turns on much lower like say 25psi where it would really show immediate need. I just get annoyed that it pops on and I wonder if its safe to drive to work before I can fill it and come to find out its only 1lb low.

 

I've got coupe 19's that I also try to keep at ~30PSI. TPMS light doesn't come on for me until they drop to around ~25-26 PSI

 

Ya that sounds more like I would expect. Are the sensors able to be calibrated or something if I go to a dealer? It obviosuly isnt a huge need for me, but if its cheap/free I'd tag it onto an oil change. Maybe something got screwy the last time tires were put on, I bought the car just after they had a new set so I've only done rotations, but I'll need new tires within a year.

Also I just though of this side question, for those of you with bluetooth phones, what speakers does the sound come out of when talking to someone? I feel like mine has always been bad or its a poor design because I only hear things from the passenger side of the car, I believe its the door tweeters, but would have to double check which exact speaker. Is this normal or should the driver side have voice too?

 

I can't answer the first question since my TPMS system has just worked (assuming the wheels have had it installed).

With respect to your 2nd question, my bluetooth audio has always come from the passenger side.
