hey guys

driving a r32 gtst

my fuel economy suddenly went crap and i'm thinkin o2 sensor. i have read the o2 posts on this forum but cant find any conclusion. though most people do just say go to nissan. the sensor costs $195 there and this seems a but much. i tried repco and they said they only have a gtr one. so would this do?

and i'm not keen on the el falcon one as this seems not quite concrete that we should be using this one

the guy at repco said that he could look through NGK's or boschs lists if i had a part number. so just wonderin if peope have a part number for this

and/or where do u guys get urs from

worst comes to worst i'll havta go nissan as 200k a tank is killin

help appreciated

$195??? Guessing genuine..???

I bought one for my S1 R33 genuine cause I couldn't be stuffed fiddling around ! Mine only cost $104.00 with a trade card!!! Perhaps my local Nissan guy is giving me more than trade or there is a vast difference between your sensor and mine (no idea, could even be the same!)

thanks for the replies guys

but yeh i forgot to say that i'll be changing to a split dump pipee soon and i dont like the chances of getting my rusted 17 yr old o2 sensor out of the current dump to transfer over. plus i figure on a 17 yr old car its likely that this has gone or is due to go

it is perhaps a good idea to test it as u say MANWHORE but, i guess it will cost me $30 for an multimeter or wateva to do the test....so if i can find an o2 sensor for around the $100 mark which im sure can be done (seeing as nissan generally charge 100% on something they've just rebadged...hehehe), it will be a load off my mind knowing the plug is new, rather then tested...and ok...but still 17 yr old and possible to die the next day.

so just wonderin...because this is a part that people basically need if they want goood fuel economy, and as said nissan generally just rebadge stuff like this....so do people just get theirs from repco and if so what do they ask for???

Could message members who have used EL falcon 02 sensor

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...mp;hl=o2+sensor

"go to repco or autobarn and get them to look it up in the NGK book. i know they have a listing for R32 and R33 gts-t (i bought one for my r33 gts-t)"

hope that helps

thats a hot r32 man

....and thanks for the advice

but i am now considering just getting a genuine one anyway as i have seen people getting the el falcon one wiring it up and it making no difference...ie its not compatible...i'd rather have piece of mind that my o2 sensor is entirely correct seeing as i also have plans for a re-map. my current o2 sensor says nissan on it so basically thats the original on a 17 yr old car with apparently 85ks on it.....dun like the chances of it being fit and healthy.

tho i may give the "message people who've done the el trick" a go so thanks

Well matey, the reason why I said check it is because the o2 sensor is by far not the only thing that contributes to fuel economy.

I'll list a few things...

temperature sensor

dirty injectors

blocked fuel pressure regulator

blocked fuel filter

dirty air filter

wrong oil

tyre pressure

If you were to change everything, you'd end up buying a new car :D

What I did, is bought one of those diagnostic screens for $200. Pplug it into the consult port and see every sensor, see every fault code. While it didn't help my car (nothing wrong with it), I have diagnosed many problems for friends. While I didn't charge them anything, it was very rewarding and I know it was money well spent.

its good idea to buy the diagnostic screen mate

i was going to change my o2 sensor due to the f$%ked up fuel eco and i went to the mechanics and have done the check

nothing was wrong.... everything was perfect....

im going to clean the injector this thursday and bought SAFC.

hope those improve my fuel eco man...

anyway i recommend check all the sensors before change your o2 sensor..

r33 s2 your a champ!

i dunno how i missed that....that's more of an affordable price

manwhore...ur diagnostic thing would be handy but dun wanna pay that right now

plus as mentioned i have other motivations in putting on my split dump and not being keen to take the old rusted o2 out of the old dump

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
