what does this gauge tell you anyways?? new to this still trying to understand my car

On your turbo dump pipe (which leads to your exhaust) you have a sensor which detects 02. Based on this info the ECU will lean out the fuel whenever it is safe to do so (when you back off the throttlle etc etc). If the sensor isnt working properly then the ECU wont lean out the fuel when its possible so you will get crap fuel economy :) for one thing (200k's to a tank). This gauge can tell you if the sensor is working or not.

on the stock sensor all the gauge does is tell you if the sensor is working or not. i have 1, simply for the flashy lights. that is the whole reason i bought it. i'm like a lyre bird. attracted to flashy things. i bought it a few cars before my skyline.

as for the wire, its easiest to go off the wire straight off the sensor off the dump. i did it on the sensor side of the plug (so its a bit away from the heat. also solder the wire on (and use as little as possible), don't use joiners as there is a voltage drop across them and will give your ecu false readings. remember the sensor works in 0.1v ranges so having a voltage drop will change what the ecu reads.

Got one of these for my bday, and now trying to hook it up. I fed the signal wire to the engine bay, just want to know which of the 3 wires on the o2 senser do i connect it to? i see a white/blue, copper, and brown with tracer? this is on a RB25DET.

Cheers...

Do a search on "oxygen sensor" or "o2 sensor" It should come up with some links on wiring ford el sensors with the nissan wiring. And the colours.

One of them is the signal wire the other two are the heater wires.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
