ok, have replaced my o2 sensor with the ngk one for an r33 gts-t

part number 0ZA395E2AB

no difference to economy so far :yes:

what else can cause poor fuel economy

i dont get more than 300ks a tank from a 200rwkw gts-t (via usual mods, powerfc etc)

Changing the O2 sensor alone when you have a PowerFC won't really help. As cubes said, chuck it on the dyno and get your low RPM and low load cells checked out. Try get the tuner to tune them as close to 14.7:1 as he can, and then let the PowerFC O2 feedback do the rest.

Does anyone have a yes/no answer as to whether a O2 sensor from an R33 GTST will fit and work on an R33 GTR? It doesnt matter about plug type i just want to know whether it fits in the thread and works with the computer, an answer would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

ayone got an answer for the above?

Pic of what I did with the stock plug and an EL Falcon oxygen sensor:

Btw NGK have a direct replacement for the RB25DET engine. Part Number OZA395-E2. ~$125 - $145 from repco

Needs some heat shrink around the individual wires will do that tonite.

just purchased this earlier today and installed it/took it for a drive earlier and it seems to fixed a few issues i had. 1/ doesnt seem to hunt on idle anymore 2/ it now boosts better then before 3/ it rev's more freely. at the same time, i changed my fuel filter which i think assisted with the change in characteristics

ok, let me correct no. 2

i use to have a kinda surge feeling when i boosted it. it would only boost to about .1 bar when the accelerator was flattened and just feel like its lost all power and then pick up again. makes it feel really bad and kinda like its cutting out and then boosting again - if that makes sense. now however, it boosts fine and feels like it pulls harder. i drive the thing so i would know the before and after effects. but having said that, technically wouldnt a working o2 sensor help the ecu adjust its a/f ratio when boosting?

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
