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.

S14 Sensor

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

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
