thanks Dan with his versa for providing me with the headers
and thanks to weapon r for never coming out with my header...is nice to see the real deal and the real reasons why this cube header will never come out...simply because you guys never took off my header off...im no stupid lol! i been doing this for years but anyways now there,s a new solution for those who are in the search for more power...OBX headers for the versa fit 100% the cube...yes it will take a long time to install this is no 2 or 3 hour deal here

i got engine service soon ligh ON but i know a way to make this light go off is a similar way the Gcoupe drivers do and the 350z driverds as well, i,ll just have to get familiar with it later...is on the down pipe (test pipe) sensor i think it uses like a spacer in the middle of the sensor and the down pipe
the thing is that the first night i did it the light didnt when on until next day when my wife turned on the ac..... :mad: :mad: :mad:
damn ac lol!

now that most of you heard it here,s the info
is the OBX header/down pipe for the nissan versa
it fitted perfectly on the nissan cube i actually think the cube haves more space to work around in the back of the engine
i did took my sweet time making sure everything went good so yeah total time installation was around 5 hours...im just happy i know how to do this other wise i dont want to imagine how much a muffler shop or a performance shop would charge me, now lets remember that i have the fron ultra racing underbrace and i did thought i was gonna end up removing it but for my good luck i didnt need to.
many parts had to come off the cube such as
intake
intake manifold
throttle body
a few hoses and on mmy case the oil catch tank i trash it out after works lol!

now performance talking : i think this is the best performance mod for the cube yet...overall the intake and the exhaust but of course if you have one or both of thems the difference will be even better, runs faster the pedal haves a much quicker response, before headers my oil temp gauges will always show around 220 to 240 after the headers installed is runing around 190 to 210 the most
you can find this OBX header mostly on ebay for $200 shipped NEW but i dont know how much the installation will be or if you actually can find a nice shop who can do it with no fears lol!
overall is a great mod if you can afford it is a must have

now for the only con of this great mod is that after a couple days your "engine service soon" light will go on and this is mostly because the down pipe sensor ,i guess this is because now with a straight pipe i am runing rich the cube brain reads it wrong...now this is fixable this problem is common around nissan such as the 350z the 240sx and the infiniti g35 and they found a fix for this problem so i will work on that on the next couple days...but hey i already have like 4 lights ON my dash so another one is really no problem at all still i will work on a fix to this problem...
