How about, take it to a shop that knows how to properly fix the car?
Instead of wasting your time and money throwing parts at it that might not do squat.

Go to Canadian tire, buy a bottle of Methyl Hydrate and follow instructions, that stuff even "guarantees to pass air care or money back."
Before going, do some highway passes at a lower gear and when lining up, keep your revs @ 3000+ just to keep the catalytic converter nice and hot!!
Passing this way is sort of like cheating and defeats the point of air care really. It's sort of like running a cat just for air care and then right back to a test pipe!! You all know who you are  | |

Did you warm your cat up before you went to air care?
Try doing that next time you go.

Lol you want to cheat air care do what optiblue suggested.
NOx is related to the combustion chamber temp, I don't know why you felt the need to change an O2 sensor for. At any rate check for EGR for proper operation first and go from there.
What are your other numbers? Easier to see what's going on if we have your other numbers.

They'll give you even more ideas on how to throw money away!

i say take it to a local shop and ask them to retard the timing a bit so it burns longer
it worked for me.
then go pass
and come back and have them put it back to normal

Put a hole in your downpipe...
Or be like me and pass on a 20 year old motor boosting 16psi on Megasquirt (with the performance map running) and a straight pipe turboback system and pass with flying fucking colours. Jealous?

japan doesnt have emission laws and egr is used for emission control and since you have a jdm motor, then your car has no egr, so assuming you dont have an exhaust leak before your cat then your gonna need a new cat or the other option is just keep trying till you pass, your only off by 50

put a higher temp thermostat? loosen up the top bolt of your exhaust, so theres an air leak in there.

as an alternative to holding revs at 3000+ you can turn off the car, and with no exhaust flowing thru the cat, it will act like an oven, but not for very long.
