Hi Guys,

I am almost ready to do my turbo conversion on my R32 GTR, but there are a few things left that i have to get first. One of these things is some new O2 sensors. I picked up some split dump pipes a few weeks ago and they are for an R33 GTR which run O2 sensors with a slightly bigger thread i believe. I have heard that you can get bungs that will allow you to fit the 32 sensors which are slightly smaller in thread size, but since im getting new ones, i dont know if this will be necessary.

So long story short, are the R33 GTR O2 sensors compatible in an R32 GTR??? Is there any other O2 sensors that will work?? (i have heard that the O2 sensors out of an EL Falcon work)

Thanks Guys,

Your help is appreciated!!!! :mellow:

go to repco or autobarn and get them to look it up in the NGK book. i know they have a listing for R32 and R33 gts-t (i bought one for my r33 gts-t). one of those might be compatible. the r33 gts-t might be the same as r33 gtr, as the same plug does the sr20 motor as well.

you must use bnr32 oxygen sensors for the stock ecu.

they are itanium or some form of unobtainium and must match.

NGK have it on their site, under sensor finder, they list two seperate part numbers for the front and rear 02 sensors, as the plugs are different

R32 GTR Runs "Titania" design plugs, i think the r33's run "Zirconia" style sensors, aka. not compatible, you would have to speak to repco about titania wit the larger thread, not sure on what would be compatible...

if you can get a reducer for the hole, you can get 2x RB30 ones, OTD2F-2B and chop and change the plug on one of them over and the other one will bolt straight in :mellow:

should say on the plug what they are, OZA... part numbers are the Zirconia ones, OTD... are the Titania ones

Yeah R33 runs Zirconia "OZA395", R32 GTR computer needs "OTD2F" Titania

Ok, thanks for the info guys.

Later down the track i will be running a Power FC. I was wondering if running the FC will allow you to run different O2 sensors, as the same FC is combatible on both 32's and 33's (GTR obviously).

Also, does anyone know where you could find bungs that bring the hole diameter down to the 32 size?? I know the HKS dumps come with them standard.

Thanks

If your running a PowerFC it doesnt matter as far as i am aware.

Not that ill be running them anyway, just there to plug the hole once the PFC goes in

I guess ill have to grab a stock R33 GTR ECU for the Emissions test though.

As ive got 33GTR Dumps the same as you do :nyaanyaa:

Awesome, thanks for the info mate. I remember talking to my mechanic the other day about that actually, and he said that they hardly even use them once they tune up the Power FC properly, as they can get better efficiency without them.

I am now thinking about just sticking with my standard O2 sensors until i get the FC in!

Oh yeah, my dumps also came with plugs for the O2 sensor holes! So i dont even need old O2 sensors to plug the holes!

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
