After blowing a motor sky high, I determined to stop ******* around and have my 7 tuned the right way. It's a helluva lot cheaper than a blown motor, that's for damn sure
Also, what mods do you have?

Slap forhead! For god sakes, don't use the stock O2 meter to measure A/F ratio!
BTW: how do you smell that you are running lean, if you are leaning out, you won't smell anything because you will be using up all the fuel!
You can use a SuperAFC or any other fuel computer to blip your fuel up a bit safely but if you have heavy mods, you should get a PowerFC or any other standalone computer.
Good luck

fuel pressure regulater before the fuel rail?? I think garfinkle put mine after the rail in the return line but I am not sure . I will check, he put in the SX one and the car run great.

well the best way i can describe it is a sweet smell, not like coolant.. kinda blandish.. im kinda bad at describing it so i dun't know.. but last week i was at the local races and there was a 300zx TT there and we were cruising around and i could smell he was running a lean too cuss i asked him.. his was way worse then mine..
if i ran just a little lean will it affect the motors reliability..
i can either fix this problem or start working on the reliability mods like a new dp and radiator.. which one do u think is the best?
do u guys know of any shops around So kali/Oc that do dynos wit fuel pressure gauges like the guy on top said for cheap?
75 bucks for that kinda test sounds pretty cheap..
thanx guys for the replies i really appreciate it

So how again does a lean car smell? And how did the 300zx guy know he was lean? I'm still puzzled on how you know how a lean car smells!

A T4 Turbine could be ANYTHING. T-04B for instance...
