Do yourself a favor and don't. Narrowband Air/Fuel gauges don't really monitor anything (because your stock O2 sensors don't assign a value to the air/fuel mixture and also don't register anything under WOT), and taking away from the signal going into the ECU will cause your car to run worse. Narrowband O2 gauges are discolights that make cars run poorly, and should therefore not be installed on such a nice car as a 300ZX. Search if you want more info, I don't feel like typing all the details.
