Am going to clean the mass air flow sensor and replace the oxygen sensor (as well as have the injectors cleaned and have the timing checked; already did plugs, leads) in further effort to recover a least a bit of fuel economy - only getting 7km/l, conservative driving (yes, yes, I know, people don't drive 4G63Ts for their fuel economy, etc.).

Re the MAF sensor, looks pretty straightforward, using MAF sensor cleaner or electronic circuit/connection cleaner - any tips, tricks, traps (i.e.: should know before screwing with it), or other suggestions for cleaning it?

Re the o2, I need some alternative mfr. part numbers that I can have shipped here, as finding it here is not going to happen. Search as I might, I can't locate the NGK (NTK) or the Mitsu OEM available for purchase anywhere. Does the standard Evo III sensor work for the HSG-R (auto) application, or maybe the DSM Eclipse/Talon AWD turbos? Anyone know any place there that will sell it to me and ship it to Chile? Cheers, Phil.

Hey, anyone know the exact specs for the factory original rear wheel studs for the HSG-R? The brainiacs at the brake/alignment shop cross-threaded one of my lugnuts and it twisted the stud right off when I was removing the wheel later (to paint the calipers). I think it's M12-1.5x45mm; can anyone confirm or correct? I should be able to find it locally if I can give them the specs.

Also, what is the recommended torque setting for the lugnuts? These guys must have been torquing at something like 200 ft-lb to get that nut on, and I am now done with letting shop drones torque the wheel nuts (last time, they torqued them so tight that the unlock key stripped one out the next time).
