Click for full-size.

and this is the one that didnt burst, if u look really really closely u'll see a dark line above my finger on the rubber, its where the rubber developed a strech, eventually it would have burst there. this is the mount over the tranny.

sensor removed
top showing the bridgestone logo

Click for full-size.

base, showing a flat piece of metal(simillar to a small flatblade screwdriver)

Click for full-size.

pic of top with cover removed

Click for full-size.

and this is where it is mounted on the engine mount

Click for full-size.

still have no clue as to how it works. but inside looks like a motor with sum gears that turn the pin thing at the bottom of the device, or it could be that sumthing turns inside the engine mount causing the pin to turn sending a signal to the device. man only those lunatics at nissan and bridgestone know what this is for Laughing

oh btw this is meh car

ok just found this, its an intake for the 96-00 infiniti I30 and 3.0 cefiros

i wonder if this could fit on my car, and it comes with a K&N too, cost is about 600TT with shipping to the US, add 150-200 to ship to trinidad.

only thing is i dont have a credit card.
is there any difference in intake sizes for the 3.0 and the 2.0?

still that's a lot compared to mine, i never ran 1st to the limiter, but i prob get 60 for the extreme most. the A33 is heavier i believe, and it has mabey 10 more hp, if soo much. i dont know about the gear ratios, but yours seems to be giving u sum serious speed.

btw, when does your speed cut kick in?

at X to board mine comes in at 165, but if i gradually build speed, at about 1/2 trottle it dosent kick in until later, most i've ever gotten to was 195, was on a full tank of gas and 5 ppl in the car including myself, also the place was hot, and glasses were down.

sumone said the most it could reach judging by the ratios would be about 230~240

well alluh know wah my name go be Mr. Green

ah going to join now.

btw i got a response about the air fuel gauge.
if the sensor used is one for 1 cylinder it would give a jumpy reading, if its for more that one the reading would level off, another thing, if the O2 sensor uses a voltage signal the gauge would work, if it uses a resistance signal it wont work.

u all have any idea of what kind of O2 sensor the A33 has? Neutral
