just curious about O2 sensors on a GTR, do i have to buy genuine nissan ones or i can get aftermarket ones? and what aftermarket ones can i get to make them work?

no u dont have to run geniune ones

i see you are in brizzy give brisco butler a ring there located in windsor they deal with all auto electrial

stuff and they will supply u a bolt in replacement ones

frank price varies a lot depending on where you go. As cliche as it is, a searcg would reveal a lot of threads about replacement O2 sensors for RB26s. It seems that the EL Falcon sensor is only good for RB25 or something like that - you most certainly can use an aftermarket one but you'd have to search to find a part number.

For what it's worth mate :yes:

i just replaced the sensors in my 32 GTR last week and got them from global efi, they are vl commodore items, u just need 2 replace the plug on the rear sensor with the orig 1. thats if the 33 is the same???

r32 and r33 have different oxygen sensors.

r32 is itanium and r33 is some other format.

front and rear sensors have different plugs in both models i believe.

r33 gts/gtst can use falcon el sensor, its just a generic 3 wire 02 sensor but its easier to ask for ford falcon el than R33 gtst at your local parts dealer.

nowadays its not such a big problem. NGK website has part #'s for BNR32 sensors with matching plugs

the gtrs have the same sensor, made of the same material

Having the same problem, hence why i started my own thread!!

Just to clear things up. Both R32 and R33 GTR's use a sensor made out of titania. Both use a three wire plug and both have a voltage range of 0 to 1 volts. This is why the Power FC is generic for both in regards to the O2 sensors. The ONLY difference is the thread size of the sensors.

R32 GTR: 12mm thread

R33 GTR: 18mm thread (spark plug thread)

Now, both use the same plug formats as well i believe, which differ from the front one and back one.

The factory serial numbers (genuine nissan) for these items are:

R32: Front - 22690-05U21 (Flat 3 wire plug)

Rear - 22690-05U22 (Square 4 pin plug)

Alternatives - front - NTK OTDF-P1P

rear - NTK OTDF-P1L1

R33: Front - 22690-24U02 ($209 from Metro Nissan Brisbane)

Rear - 22690-24U01 ($212 from Nissan)

So as you can see, buying genuine nissan is just being A$$ raped, hence why i am looking for alternatives.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
