wtf is this?

These 3 photos are pictures of this brown duct-taped thing wired into another wire. I have no clue what this is, my friend said it was called a simulation and made my car faster, but I've never heard of a simulation before, and don't know what the hell this duct taped thing is. If you have any idea let me know

*stumped*

maybe o2 sensor, dont know, but it looks like it goes into that vacuum tube, which has an o2 sensor somewhere in it, i think. ask lodownluv if its an o2 sensor, he knows more bout em than i do

haha no it's not an o2 sensor. It's just a bundle of sensors that nissan was to cheap to make brackets for. 1 of them goes to the distributor and 1 to the MAFS. The big bundle that comes out the left side of it runs along the top of the fuel rail and then goes to the firewall, and then into the ecu.

i've got the same thing on my car with the same ugly brown tape.

the o2 sensor is on your exhaust

thanks j spec, i asked 3 different forums and you were the only person that really knew what it was. Are you a mechanic?

No problem. Nah man i'm not a mechanic. I just really enjoy working on cars, whether it's being modified with aftermarket parts or just working on a stock motor.... I love it all.

If you havent figured it out yet... J SPEC, well, he's just the man.Thats all there is to it.

lets just hump J specs leg why don't we? no I'm kidding.. your crazy! you are!

we have stuff in common :)

no im not gay!
whats this simulation thing?

i thought there were 2 o2 sensors, both on the intake, at least thats what lodownluv said, im just goin off of him

lol

there are 2, but both are in the exhaust. 1 in the manifold and 1 in the cat

Thats one thing i have noticed on my car. Its a '92 240 fastback and there is no o2 sensor in the cat or anywhere else for that matter. Is that an age thing where they started on newer cars or what. Oh and J SPEC amen to working on cars. I work on my car when nothing is broken.

The 02 sensor functions by reading your exhaust. It cannot be anywhere else.

Are you sure that you don't see a metal plug anywhere in your exhaust at all? Because if not, someone must have removed it/them. Cars that don't have an O2 sensor are carburated. Unless you converted your car from fuel injection, then you are either not seeing your O2 sensors or they were removed.

I try working on my car but nothing ever works or goes as planned. When I tried putting my stereo face plate in, I pretty much did everything right, wired it and everything, but I just didn't think i needed the antenna converter. I didn't know that was the ground wire, thought the black wire like most cars is the power connector. Well I blew my fuse so I had to call a mechanic and pay $35 when all I needed was the stupid antenna converter. Then the bulb installation didn't work, I didn't want to mess with taking our my corner lights and headlights so I called my mechanic to do it again and found out how. I'm going to take classes though, it's a good thing to know.

Ive put on headers and an exaust system. factory cat with a touch remains. The only o2 sensor there is the one on the exhaust manifold(header). I have a metal band that goes on the catalytic stud facing the rear of the car where the exhaust system connects. It goes on by means of a washer. It looks identical to the ground strap that goes between the engine and firewall.
