DC Sports/Hot Shot Header install
Take a pic of the header and it's connections so that I can get back to you on your problem.......
I need 3 pics one to the head, the second one to the collector, and the 3rd one where the AIV port is on the header.......

AIV
Collector
EGR
I see what the problem is with your idle.....
You will need to cap off where the sensor is at the AIV port( that is the second port to the EGR.
You will need a CAT, you don't have one, that is just a resonator after the header. Your original CAT was butted up to the mani of your old header.
The second sensor is used to read your emissions after the CAT has converted NOX and hydro carbon elements.
You can go to any muffler shop and get a bung made for after the CAT. Or just purchase an OBX straight pipe and modify the hole for the second sensor yourself use that as your bung. Best CATS for the price are theCATCO high flow cats, they work great, and you need it for your OBD2.
Your problem with idle is typical and I have seen it happen with guys that have decided to use straight pipe instead of a CAT on the OBD 2. You need the CAT and the second sensor has to be located after the CAT.....
So the first sensor need to go at the collector, and you need a CAT, then a bung for the second sensor......

so the hole thats closest to the EGR needs to be capped, and that sensor thats in that hole needs to go to the collector? will that sensor reach all the way down there?
im going to the muffler shop tomorrow after school and get that cat put on. i'll mention to him about the bung too.
Wierd, once i took the car to the muffler shop to get that cat put on the idling has gotten better and the guy at the muffler shop said it wasn't really that necessary to create a bung unless i had a check engine light on.
other than that the sound has gotten a little bit better. sounds so good below 3500 rpms. but loud as hell past that.
Vin did you have to break your headers in until you got that permanant sound?

If you want the harnesses and wiring to extend them longer you can order the catalogue from www.digikey.com it is full of Nissan OEM clips and harnesses....
No.... Thank you, atleast we all know that you can use an OBD1 header on an OBD2engine with some minor modification, (YOU PROVED THAT)..... It's pretty much a good know how, know to do type of thing.......

I spoke with Ken the tech advisor at AEM/DC sports........
Don't mention the dfifference between s13 or an s14 to a guy at DC they wont know what the frick you are talking about just give them the model year and call it a 240sx......
BigV or anyone who gets to it first 4-2-1 One-Piece Header is what i want for a 92 s13 right? As i recall thats, and i might have missed it but what is the point of moving the o2 sensor etc..? Let me know thanks
