Hey all, been a long time between posts recently. I have to move to Victoria at end of year and thought I better address a couple of issues with my car.

1/ Poor fuel economy. Will replace O2 sensor with new item. First question is does it have to be nissan genuine part or will any generic 3 wire O2 sensor work. What cost will that be?

2/ Need new air con compressor and get whole air con system overhauled. New Drier/regass etc. Where is a good place to do this on gold coast. Any ideas on what this will set me back? I figure in region of 600-700. I live at the Gold Coast

Cheers

Generic is fine, in my opinion better than the factory one as they have larger holes for the exhaust gas to flow through and don't get coked-up as easily....plus are cheaper. I've got one on my R34 and it's great.

Contact these people and ask for a Universal 3-wire Oxygen sensor e-bay oxygen sensor

i also have a 33 4door and get bad fuel economy, how does a new O2 sensor help fix this?

It enables computer to read fuel mixture more accurately. I have two skylines and did an experiment with swapping the O2 sensor, the car that was only getting 350km out of a tank instantly shot up 550-600km out of a tank of fuel on highway. On the highway it enables computer to run closed loop.

For only around the $100 mark I think it is probably worth the investment for saving so much fuel. They are meant to be changed around every 60000km or so, but this is just a guideline.

      I would hope so. I worry that it also might depend on whether the person working on the claim has had a good day or not. I could imagine that for example modified brakes would be an easy thing to point to for affecting the outcome of an accident. I don't know. I will keep paying my premium and hope for the best. But at the same time keep safe distances, drive defensively and avoid dickhead P-platers in lifted utes

      I was just working on the assumption that a cammed V8 is significantly less polluty than a Japanese I6 turbo was at the way they tested it in an IM240. Perhaps I'm wrong! Perhaps cutting one of the readings I got in half is a tall order. I don't know too many people who actually got their cars emission tested with a RB to really compare the data.

      I thought it was just if “the modification effected/caused the incident”

      Ok, good to know. I have open loop I think, I forgot which ones which but I am running the o2 sensor, brand new and I got a new boost solenoid because my last one was faulty and overboosting by a lot, but it's still technically overboosting. Haven't really bothered to hunt it down as I don't send it hard regularly.

      You should not be able to see much smoke behind you if the mixtures are good - for ~13-14 psi anyway. It's not like you need to be running hell rich for only that much boost/load. Your tune might be a tad too rich. The tuner might have done that because they like to run a lot of timing. It's impossible to know what's going on from here. It won't be the actuator. It won't be the MAP sensor. Regardless of if by "MAP sensor" you mean either the Neo ECU's boost sensor (which is literally only that, a boost sensor so that the ECU knows a) that it's achieving boost, and b) that it is not overboosting) or you mean the dash gauge's MAP sensor (because it can't have any effect at all), or you mean the boost controller's MAP sensor (because it is very unlikely that it is running in closed loop, and so it is effectively just used to know when the pressure goes positive and so you can see the boost on the display, for the most part).
