Ended up using the Ford sensor in mine... Wrong plug, same sensor. Tried getting the plug changed at numerous auto elecs, Petroject, etc... ended up crimping it (stainless wire - no soldering...)

The were a few threads somewhere on here about which Ford sensor you can use.

I used to work at Petroject in Adelaide (same name different people though) & it was rare for us to charge more than $100 for any O2 sensor apart from stuff for some european cars. A lot of the time even if we didn't have a part number, we could normally match it up to something we had (if the customer brought it in) sometimes even with the same plug & all just different part number.

A lot of the manufacturers try to fool you into believing that the O2 sensor for every car is different. It rubbish, a lot of the time they use the same sensor maybe with a different plug & part number. I think it's highly likely the SR20 sensor is exactly the same as most nissan O2 sensors are very similar right back to the R31's.

As for the after cat sensor I'm not so sure we hadn't had barely any demand for them, though that may have changed since I left

All u need to look for on the sensor is that it has the same wire configuration, same thread size & hex head, & the same style of sensor ending. The whole sensor itself will look exactly the same because it is.

If you have to cut wires though crimp them with nice thick metal crimp connectors, don't solder them solder melts at too low a temperature for an exhaust system. It's also best to then put heat shrink over each join before wraping the lot up with vulcanising tape. If you do it like that you'll never have a problem.

^^ cheers guys i just hope it fixes my fuel ecconomy problems. I have cleaned the AFMs and am running a batch of injector cleaner through the fuel. I did a test that is specified in the engine manual i have and tested the resistance of the sensors, the manual said they should be about 2.6 ohms but i got readings of 3.8 and 3.9 ohms does this mean they are stuffed? I have also heard that the charcoal canister can cause fuel consumption problems, is there a way to check to see if it is functioning properly?

Well just for future reference for anyone that may look I just took a picture of both my R33's & my friends S14 O2 sensor. They were exactly the same with the same plug & wire colours. Couldn't be easier.

Mine is bunged, and I can't get it out! Took it into a workshop and they can't get it out either, they broke their tool trying to do it (had a 2m pipe stuck on the end for leverage).

Looks like I'm just gonna have to wait till I get a new exaust, I've still got the stocker :cool:

Good luck and if you find somewhere let me know, ive been trying to get 2 sensors for my GTR to no avail. The only place that has them new that i have found with them new is Nissan and they charge a premium.

GTR's cost $330 for the pair

One costs more than the other... no idea why, but the both have different plugs to distinguish them

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
