I changed the O2 sensor on Sat and so far haven't noticed any change in fuel consumption from the first 1/4 tank. Do i need to reset the ecu? I disconnect the negative terminal and stomp on the brake pedal a few times right?

Is there anyway of checking the O2 sensor to see if it's connected alright? My crimping skills aren't very flash :glare:

Car is a S2 Stagea, RB25DET NEO.

Thanks!

I just did the same thing too mate. I reset the ecu as u mentioned above and i feel that it did make a slight amount of difference. Haven't driven the car enough since to really tell about the fuel econ. If you want to see that the sensor is working you can cut some of that black tube cover away just after the plug where the sensor plugs in. If you have a look there you will see the plastic insulated wires there. If you have a sharp knife you can shave some of the insulation away to see the signal wire. I did this and hooked my multimeter up to it to read the values. An analogue meter might be better to use for this testing.

I read somewhere on the forums that sometimes the engines needs a week of driving to "learn" before you see any affects of the new O2 sensor so i will keep an eye on it.

I don't have a multimeter so it might be something the mechanic does when i take it in for a tune in a couple of weeks. I'll try resetting the ecu though.

Cheers.

hey webng just wonderin were u got and how much the new o2 censor was

Got the NGK/NTK OZA395-E2 from Petroject in Stepney, Adelaide for $78. Unfortunately the plug didn't match so I had to cut and crimp the old plug to the new sensor. Didn't take too long but I would highly recommend getting a sensor socket, a lot easier i'd imagine!

Apparently the original Nissna part cost double that. I was quoted about $160 for a workshop to do it.

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
