I just priced one of these at the ford services place. EL-EF Falcon o2 sensor $144. Where was that guy on performance forums getting it from??? Im looking for a bosch equivalent at the moment.

is busons like repco or something?? I went to repco and asked about them, $117 for one of them, $150 for the other.

Think i'll give them a call and ask specifically for the EL one.

Thanks wld747

Repco still said $117, called aussie auto's and they said $84.95 and conventry said they would match it. So for all the qld people check out aussie auto's for your EL o2 sensor. Hope this saves a lot of qld people a fair bit of work!!

Cheers

guys save urself the hassle and buy one at petraject in melbourne, they sell you it with the corect connector and theyre reasonably priced, i bought one for about 120... its awesome, better fuel economy and no black smoke out of exhaust anymore, no running fat, get a new one or ull be up to buy a new one again soon with a second hand one...

[Guest RedLineGTR]

"petraject" do they have a address...or a web page...do the new oxy sensor..just connects up or do u have to cut the wires from the stock one and soldier it up agian. Can u pm me some details.

[zandi2000]

ahhh ill go downstairs and look the addy for ya...!! they come with teh connector, just plug straight in... very easy... all my problems were solved after that... very nice ppl too....ahh ok sorry its petroject.... mate im not sure which addy it is, but ill give u their number and u can call em up, its 9873 7006.... and sorry again, it wasnt 120, it was 90 dollars for mine, but that was an r32 one... good news for u ey

[Mase]

is there any difference between the 32 and 33 ones besides the plug though? I have to try and work out which wire goes to which one. There are two black wires and one blue. This could take a while!!!!

How about a group buy?? Lol..

[Mase]

Big improvement off boost everyone!!! The ford one was $85 and there is nothing wrong with a bit of crimping!!

[Cubes]

I slapped my RB20DET in to the O2 Diag mode and drove around a little just to see what it did.

On cruising and quite a pit of part throttle it flicks rich lean rich lean, it also does the same on idle except some times it would stay on rich, i would notice the car would then pop on idle.

But yer it does appear that the O2 is still in closed loop mode even when boost is only just starting to build so I guess it could off boost balls and even feel a little more gutsy when boost is starting to build.

[Mase]

After cruising last night im wrapped, i was originally getting 340 to a tank, i put the o2 sensor in with about 1/3 of a tank left, made the 400 mark. Can't wait to fill it up completely and get a klm reading on a full tank.

[WLD747]

Mase - im getting the same very fuel efficent car now when not boosting 2 much.

how much you pay? and where from?

cheers

[howhow82]

just a quick question. how can u actually tell that the 02 sensor is not working anymore?

Cause my car is running damn rich now... can even smell the petrol out from the exhaust....

Anyone got a photo of 02 sensor? where is it located ?

[browny]

Its screwed into the dump pipe just after the turbo - its a cylindrical thing about the size of a C cell battery

[Guest RedLineGTR]

thanks for that zandi2000

Any one thought of using a Skyline oxygen sensor? Just had a look at a R31/VL 3.0 ltr type, and they have the exactly same type of plug, so you can just screw it in and plug it in. A lot easier I think!
