  1. o2 sensor will set you back $120ish for a direct replacement NTK one. and about $50 (roughly) for a falcon el one, which you have to splice some wires etc. i just replaced mine last month and sorted out an o2 sensor earth grounding issue... will update with proper km per L figures soon
  2. you'll have to buy them 2nd hand, or maybe even possibly from nissan (but i doubt it). i just put mine back on the other day, got them tinted - and they look pretty sweet on a tinted and black car.
  3. oh no you wont... they're getting a bit harder to find now paul due to p plate restrictions coming into effect in QLD in 2007
  4. haha... noice. do i get a cookie?
  5. yip, i'm primarily asking about in a reversing situation. when the car is balancing on two wheels (see-sawing) on a driveway it normally just teeters there until the rear wheel touches the ground and it gets some more forward thrust. i thought that the "beaching" was normal, since there is no actual load on the air borne wheel? and that the only case both wheels would spin 100% of the time is with a locker.
  6. more stick just fries that one tyre even more, and no the other wheel just stays still and the car wont move. will a newer viscous lsd spin both wheels in reverse? i was under the impression (from a friend) that an lsd wouldnt engage under reverse load. under forward load, both rear wheels spin - so no problems there. just seems to be in reverse. obviously its not something i encounter day in day out - so its not a hassle, but is this a sign that my diff is on its way out?
  7. my 33 came with the factory lsd as standard. now this 'problem' has happened to me twice in the time i've owned it (read: 3 years) so i doubt it'll be a common issue. anyway first time it happened i was reversing up my driveway. it is relatively steep (about a good 30-45º). anyway while reversing i reached a point where the weight of the car was pulling the car down much more than the rear tyres could get traction of. i was pretty much riding the clutch out, and only the rear right tyre would slowly rotate on the spot and eventually the car would gradually slide down hill. i ended up getting my other car tow hooked it and pretty much had my brother assist tow me up the driveway. second time happened today, we are building a new carport and one section of our front yard is now just dirt. the incline isnt as steep as the driveway (about a 10-20º incline) . and this time while reversing only the rear left tyre was slowly rotating in the dirt. i had to throw a solid plank of wood under to get back onto the driveway. now i know the problem lies partly with my tyre:surface traction and camber. i am running yokohama c.drive (nice, not cheap and quite grippy tyres) and -1.5º camber at the rear. i think the camber is the issue here. BUT, what i'm getting at is if it is normal for an LSD to rotate one wheel when in reverse at low speeds? does it only engage when going forward? does it need a fair bit of speed to engage? cheers eug
