So i have finally decided to get a new oxygen sensor form Mr Nissan, but my problem is that its bloody impossible to remove as i can't get a spanner in there and get enough torque on the spanner to undo it!

i tried an ultratune which was open sat mornings that is nearby me, but they don't have the tool to do it :(

now i know there is a tool which is like a big socket that goes over the o2 sensor but has a hole in the side for the wire to go through.. i went to supercheap and repco but no luck. repco have one in toowoomba but that's not much help

this is what it looks like:

so does anyone have one?

or does anyone have another special device that could help me out?

a 6-pack of beer is in it for any kind soul that wants to help me out this weekend

preferrable near to the brisbane city

cheers,

Warren

PS if you can help me out, send me a PM with your mobile/home number so that i can contact you :woot:

would a ring spanner fit in there? undo the clip and put the wire through the ring spanner hole??? although the clip might be too big to fit through the ring spanner... give it a try anyway

i use a ring spanner with a piece chopped out of it

I have always used an adjustable spanner for the 02 sensor and have always found them to be just over finger tight...

When you put the new one in just pinch it up just over finger tight again, they dont need to be done up to 100lbs with a torque wrench... :)

must say the O2 sensor was one SOB to get out, just ask warren, the thing was on so friggen tight it wasnt funny, let alone there wasnt much room at all to get to it, but all in all supercheap came in handy, and finally got it out with a 22mm long socket, Perfect fit all round, as long as you do not require your old 02 sensor, and in with the NEW one with 1/16 to 1/8th of a turn after hand tight, perfecto.

Cheers and glad to help

Splash of brake fluid and a decent open end spanner never let me down.

Has the change of O2 sensor made your car feel any better in closed loop mode Warren?

I noticed it struggled to climb revs slowly when just touching the throttle but when you just started to back off the revs would jump then fall. Usually an indication of O2 sensor malfunction.

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
