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.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
