Help: R32 GTR - why two different o2 sensors? Anyone used the EL Faclon in a GTR?

[xfixiate]

The R32 GTR has two different O2 sensors - eac has a different part code and price with Nissan. Anyone know why?

Since I have to replace both, I was wondering if anyone had used the EL Faclon universals?

Since the GTR is known to have a lean #6 piston, I'm worried that using the EL Falcon option might lean it out and blow engine up........ which would be very baaaad....

Would aprpecaite people'sexperience/knowledge in this area.....

The car won't lean out and blow up due to the O2 sensors, they are not refferenced under full load (WOT). They are there to enable the car to be fuel effecient at cruise (part throttle/light load) conditions. Can't advise you on using the universal sensor, but as long as it fits, and give the right volatage signals there shouldn't be a problem.

i would have a stab in the dark and say that one of the sensors may have a diffrent connector on it...this would be for front and for rear half of the engine...the reason behind this would be so that you dont connect them arse about....i would assume the actual sensor will be the same....just the connector would be diffrent....if not...just possibly a longer lead on it

Could be the case. ONe is a three pin, the other with 4 pin (but only 3 pins used), but there's a $10 price difference between them. I thought perhaps Nissan might be clever and use two narrowbands to get a wideband reading.......

So, has anyone fitted the Falcon EL universals to a GTR with GOOD Results?????

$120 for a pair of GTR sensors delivered here in OZ from mat at the GTR shop NZ

if thats legit ^^ then id look into that xfixiate. el falcon ones are 70-120 ish each?

Universal EL Falcon $100 new each from Petrojet.

But since no-one can seems to know the mapping between them, then how dya know that the voltage going back from the EL isn't read by the GTR CPU as too rich and the mixture is leaned up?

Burn your valves out or blow a piston to save a couple of hundred bucks?

I'd use them if I could get the data, or be able to talk to someone that has dynoed the EL Falcon ones on an R32 GTR and looked at the results....

Matts would be 2nd hand? Since they are supposed to be replaced every 40kkm I think I'll be buying new ($400 for both)

ud also want to check if the GTR takes narrowband (on/off, rich/lean like gts-t, el ford, most cars) or wideband (more states in between)

I tried a O2 sensor off another model, i think it could of been the falcon one. Didn't work too well, ended up putting an original in ordered from nissan.
