Hey fellas. Had my car up on the hoist the other day and did my Engine, Gearbox and DIFF oils. Were all black and put good fresh stuff in em.

However while the car was up on the hoist i noticed a sensor coming out of the cat. Which had tape over it.

I believe this sensor is the EGT (exhaust gas temperature sensor). The tape was around the 2 coils of wires in it and i think its rooted..

The car is running heaps rich so i thought i should give replacing this sensor and the O2 sensor at the same time.

Where abouts would i get an EGT sensor from. The O2 isnt a problem.

Could this be the reason. Cos its faulty... and its dumping more fuel in to cool the exhaust down???

Cheers Blokes.

egt isn't a problem unless the cat convertor light is on the dash.. does your cat convertor have a bung to mount it to? as alot of cats fitted for compliance don't thats why u'll find alot not hooked up. as for running rich stick a multimeter on your o2 sensor signal wire and check the voltage at idle when warm. it should fluctuate between 0 and 1v. if it is stuck on around 0.5v it is stuffed and this is why ur car is running rich..

Umm the car has a nismo dump, and down pipe.. but from cat back its all pretty much stock standard.. I think the EGT sensor is effffed. As the 2 wires that it has were taped together and yeah.. just looks rooted if u know what i mean,

And as for the O2 Sensor. Which wires am i putting the multimeter as is has 3.

I shall check for this problem.

Would the coolant temp sensor have anything to do with this?

Cheers.

teh egt doesn't effect the tunning of your car

it just lights up to tell you your cat is still really hot (been doing some 'fun' driving) and not to park on anything flammable

o2 sensor on the other hand will effect economy, just grab one from this sponsor:

      It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)

      OK...so dumb question to check....do the hi beams actually come on when the push the stalk to engage them (keeping in mind your headlight switch must be at ON as well)
