Ended up using the Ford sensor in mine... Wrong plug, same sensor. Tried getting the plug changed at numerous auto elecs, Petroject, etc... ended up crimping it (stainless wire - no soldering...)

The were a few threads somewhere on here about which Ford sensor you can use.

I used to work at Petroject in Adelaide (same name different people though) & it was rare for us to charge more than $100 for any O2 sensor apart from stuff for some european cars. A lot of the time even if we didn't have a part number, we could normally match it up to something we had (if the customer brought it in) sometimes even with the same plug & all just different part number.

A lot of the manufacturers try to fool you into believing that the O2 sensor for every car is different. It rubbish, a lot of the time they use the same sensor maybe with a different plug & part number. I think it's highly likely the SR20 sensor is exactly the same as most nissan O2 sensors are very similar right back to the R31's.

As for the after cat sensor I'm not so sure we hadn't had barely any demand for them, though that may have changed since I left

All u need to look for on the sensor is that it has the same wire configuration, same thread size & hex head, & the same style of sensor ending. The whole sensor itself will look exactly the same because it is.

If you have to cut wires though crimp them with nice thick metal crimp connectors, don't solder them solder melts at too low a temperature for an exhaust system. It's also best to then put heat shrink over each join before wraping the lot up with vulcanising tape. If you do it like that you'll never have a problem.

^^ cheers guys i just hope it fixes my fuel ecconomy problems. I have cleaned the AFMs and am running a batch of injector cleaner through the fuel. I did a test that is specified in the engine manual i have and tested the resistance of the sensors, the manual said they should be about 2.6 ohms but i got readings of 3.8 and 3.9 ohms does this mean they are stuffed? I have also heard that the charcoal canister can cause fuel consumption problems, is there a way to check to see if it is functioning properly?

Well just for future reference for anyone that may look I just took a picture of both my R33's & my friends S14 O2 sensor. They were exactly the same with the same plug & wire colours. Couldn't be easier.

Mine is bunged, and I can't get it out! Took it into a workshop and they can't get it out either, they broke their tool trying to do it (had a 2m pipe stuck on the end for leverage).

Looks like I'm just gonna have to wait till I get a new exaust, I've still got the stocker :cool:

Good luck and if you find somewhere let me know, ive been trying to get 2 sensors for my GTR to no avail. The only place that has them new that i have found with them new is Nissan and they charge a premium.

GTR's cost $330 for the pair

One costs more than the other... no idea why, but the both have different plugs to distinguish them

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By Trinicandian · Posted

      Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.

      So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.

      Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary.
