Will An Infiniti G35 O2 Sensor Fit An '01 V35 250gt?

As the topic suggests, I need two new pre-cat O2 sensors on my 2001 V35 250GT (2.5L).

I have looked on the net and can get aftermarket O2 sensors from the US for the Infiniti G35 2003-2007 sedan for US $29 each, whereas the JDM version costs $500 for two shipped from Nissan Japan - a huge difference in cost.

Is there anyone (at all!) who can tell me if the G35 sensor will fit and work on the V35 250GT? Or is there a way I can find out? If I contact Infiniti in the US all they will do is ask for a part number (which won't match being JDM) and they will say no - much like Nissan in Australia do with imports.

If anyone can help or give me some advice on this I would realllly appreciate it. I'm going around in circles with this issue and $40 vs $220 odd for an O2 sensor is a massive difference.

I have contacted Bosch directly and they have told me they do not make a generic part for the V35 so already tried that avenue.

OK. In case anyone ever finds this information useful, here is what I ended up doing.

Finding aftermarket O2 sensors for this car was a nightmare and ending up being a waste of time because nobody seemed to know what O2 sensor was required for these cars - and nobody could guarantee me that the G35 ones would fit or work. Unless you have the old sensors pulled out of the car to take to a shop, or know exactly what you need, don't bother.

So, I did some more research and found Kudos Motorsports (Andrew Sullivan's business, he is a member on these forums though I have not seen him in this section). Website is http://www.kudosmotorsports.com if you ask Andrew for a product not listed on his catalog (which there wasn't even a V35 section before I got in touch with him) he will source it for you and at very good prices.

The two sensors I have needed replaced are 2 x O2 sensors and the EGR temperature sensor. The link to these genuine Nissan parts is now here: http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/35...22_296_544.html

I hope this might help other V35 owners in the future as I wouldn't wish the runaround I had on anyone else. On the plus side, my car now runs perfectly.

Highly recommend Andrew and Kudos Motorsports if you need any V35 parts.

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.

      I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.

      Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
