If you place a voltmeter in series along the sensor's signal wire, you should see the output voltage oscillate between 0.4V and 0.8V (for RB26). If it is outside that range, doesn't oscillate at all, or the mean is not around 0.6V, then the sensor has had it.

If you have access to a Consult cable, that is 1000 times easier, as you need to check the sensor when hot (ie. scorch your hands trying to place the meter along the wire).

Hope that helps. If you're near Western Sydney I can help out with the Consult cable. Cheers.

thanks for the offer mate, i'm unfortunately in WA. looks like i'll have to find or buy the cable.

If you jack up the car, follow the front pipes to where they are bolted to the dump pipes. The oxygen sensors are about two inches long and are screwed into the dump pipes. They will be the only things screwed in, look like a thick brass pen and have wires coming out the top.

It would probably be cheaper to take the car to Mr Nissan and have them run Consult to help you check the sensor function (and everything else whilst you're there) :P They'd probably charge 1h labour but you could save a lot of hassle with wiring in meters etc and it'd be cheaper than using a mechanic to hoist the car and have them do it. The Consult plug is in the drivers side fuse panel - ie. very easy to access :D

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
