Well the line has been returning abismal fuel economy lately and sure enough the O2 sensor was stuffed, so I got a new one. Problem is everyone wants crazy $$ to install it, or they wont give me a solid price. So it's going to be a home job. Problem is I'm still new at the whole 'do it yourself' and need a little help, I dont have the tool (It needs a specific one i believe) or the experience. If anyone could lend me a hand over the weekend, I'd be happy to give you a slab or something. If you can help me out Pm me.

Cheers

don't bother with the o2 removal tool.

buy a cheap spanner and cut it in half so you can get it in there

you may need to lever it out if the sensor has never been changed in the life of hte car. i used the handle of an axe, up against a block of wood supported on the chassis. it did the trick. no way i could've applied the amount of force needed on the spanner without doing that.

Its basically next to your turbo heat shield, kinda hard to get it out. I am getting a friend mechanic to do it next service.

I wouldnt pay anymore than 30 bucks for someone else to do it.

Thanks bud. I know where it is but after 10 mins of mucking about I couldn't get the little fu(k3r out, thats why I was after the help. But i'm just gonna get a mate to do the magic spanner chop mentioned above, and give it another crack.

Anyone know if there s anything tricky about the wiring?

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
