In other words does mine look low or about right?

The reason i am asking is because i have a new Walbro on the way and in 2 minds whether i need to even change it. Guess we will know once i fit it and test again
Quick update, I whipped out the wideband sensor again yesterday as it was still playing games. It didn't look mega dirty..
but nevertheless i left the wideband sensor to soak in petrol (Tesco Ultimate if it makes a difference) over night.
I dipped it in for a few mins yesterday before leaving it then gave it a scrub with this
then today i gave it another scrub, blew through every hole with compressed air, then shot some electical contact cleaner down each hole, then blew it all out again with air. Then i calibrated it once again then i did this test on it, and things looked good!!

So bolted back in the hole and guess what???
It's not much of a surprise though.. look at the crap that came out
I am a happy bunny for now. Just saved myself a few quid.

On a separate note, I ordered a brand new lambda sensor and walbro from Jez last Sunday and nothing turned Up! They didn't even have the courtesy to call me! I had to call them to chase up what was happening. Apparently they had run out of o2 sensors and were waiting on a shipment which didn't clear customs by Friday.
I also just bought some Tein Track Rod Ends so will be fitting them when they arrive

Ok update time. Walbro and O2 sensor arrived and so did some Tein TREs
First I fitted the o2 sensor.
Initial Obesrvations:
Quality sensor and had copper grease with it as well as some nice clippy zip ties to clip into place.
Wire length looked a bit short.
After fitting:
Clippy things were a waste of space as the wire is shorter than stock and you can't run it around like it does stock. But it is tucked nicely out the way I guess.

Next job Walbro.
Never remember the job being this hard maybe I am old now hahahaha!
Out with the old:
Obesrvations:
The rubber hose was swollen as was the sleeve that covers the pump. The plastic plug was also a little swollen.
The the Mrs called me in for lunch and it started chucking it!
I waited a bit but it wouldn't stop so I just carried on anyway.
I put on the new hose that came with the new pump and the new sleeve. I even unsoldered the plug and soldered in the new one.
And already to go in

Then I checked the fuel pressure
Looks the same!!
The old pump has been in the car about 9-10 years I suppose. And it was a bit noisy. The new one is quiet as a mouse.

Have you done the track rod ends yet? I need to look at mine. I've fitted offset rack spacers so my arms are now 20mm too long with standard arms. So I need new ends or shorter arms. Might have to mod something up.
Hey bud, ain't got round to it yet. The TREs need doing as the boots have split. Got an advisory at the last MOT.
I now also have Tein tie rods so gonna swap it all out at the same time.
For yours I think you need to get adjustable rods like these Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/152666814514

I think japspeed may sell a similar item, also Part Shop Max do tie rods in 3 different lengths, but shipping could be pricey
I'll have a look
That was just an example. I am sure hard race UK have them on their site too. And yes there is a cheaper option
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322210523699
But they maybe made of cheese.
Yyes I maybe interesting depending on what you come up with

OK so i spent the best part of 5hrs!!! yes 5hrs!!! trying to fit the oil pressure gauge. What an absolute CNUT of a job!!!
Update time.
I ripped out everything on the centre console and re-did it. Out came the EVC 4 and in went the evc 5.

While I was there I ripped out the cream armrest cover and gator. I can't remember who the seller was for these on eBay, but they were 200sx tailored. However.. the leather wasn't of good quality and with age it went dry.
So swapped it out for good quality black with cream stitching.

Cover looks better. I had one of those cream ones back in the day as well as the gear gaitor, never fitted it as wasn't a fan when it arrived.

Next.. time to swap out the track rods, tie rods, tension rods and arb.
Godspeed arb
Poly bushes
Tein TRE's and tie rods
Hard Race tension rods
The passenger side tension rod was a nightmare to get out as the bolt was seized in the sleeve and the Bush was spinning in the hole. If this happens to you then removed the ARB and 4 other bolts and you can removed the whole bracket with the tension rod attached and take it to the bench. This only occurred to me hours after struggling under the car. Anyway.. an angle grinder and some effort later
