$$$ Test Pipe Install $$$

Yeah you can pick up an OBD2 scanner at Autozone for about $50, you'll have to look up the codes somewhere else, but at least you can erase codes that

My question is now what do I do about my O2 sensors? I cleared the code but I figure it's now only a matter of time. Could the sensor be fouled from running too rich?
Uprev tune and you'll never have to worry about those codes ever again.

Ha would you be able to get me a price for that?
The way I see it, is if I didn't have the money for HFC where would I get the money for an Uprev license?

Have no idea what your financial situation is,... buy yeah a tune is initially pretty expensive. Thats what happens though with going HFCs or TPs without a tune. Cels seem to become inevitable.

Cause I know that Uprev has an the Osiris base tune for $100 bucks so that's not bad at all but I'm not sure if that's what I need or if I even need something else

Oh, I forgot to mention, I got a CEL after I had TPs, can't remember the specific code but it was due to an exhaust leak. I used high temp copper sealant on all the exhaust flanges along with the gaskets and everything was good to go. But after my tune I'm good to go anyways.

Not trying to sound like a hater, just wondering why you'd go through the issues associated with removing the cats unless you're building a full on track car.
HP Tuners software? Nissan is not supported per their website.
