Replacing The O2 Sensor

[lows_13]

I'm looking to replace the O2 sensor on my R32 Skyline,

is anyone aware of any generic options available other than

a genuine Nissan sensor?

I found this part number on the NGK website for a RB25 (OZA395-E2), but there wasn't one listed for the RB20.

Are the RB20 & RB25 O2 sensors the same?

Can O2 sensors be cleaned at all?

Try EBay, Engine sensors & systems. 3 wire universal $50.00 Hope this helps. Clive

i heard that the EL falcon ones work fine too.

[lows_13]

But do they carry the same connection?

Are silvia/180sx O2 sensors the same?

The ebay 02 sensors hook up to the original plug with a fitting kit that is supplied. They sell 1,2,& 3 wire sensors. (R32 GTR's have 3 wires)

[lows_13]

Have you got a link for the ones on ebay gillies2001

[gillies2001]

All i did was go to ebay and then, 02 sensors The company name is "ENGINE SENSORS & SYSTEMS"

heres a link

I'm getting one as we speak.

Should fit.

the thing with buying a 'universal' sensor is that it may have different resistance, etc, to the standard unit. buying something that is designed for that model is best as you know it is going to have the right tolerances, and give the ecu the right info.

and NGK do one for a rb20. when i ordered mine for my rb25, i saw the rb20 listing directly underneath it in the book at autobarn. mine cost me about $110. it is the same out as in a SSS pulsar.

[lows_13]

Apparently black top SR20's and CA18 run the same plug as the RB20...

UPDATE. I emailed the guys form eBay in regards to the R33 O2 Sensor, to see if a universal 3 wire would fit, here is the reply. SO

i'm getting the NGK one.

"this sensor is not suitable for the skyline. they use a titania tipped sensor, which we do not sell.

regards

scott"

[mad082]

i'm pretty sure that the ebay guy has it wrong. i thought it was only the GTR's that had the titania tipped sensors.

[lows_13]

This website explains it all.

ok now i'm lost. I'm goign to Speco here in Tas and ask at lunch

[mad082]

just go to your local parts dealer (like speco) and ask them to order you an ngk o2 sensor for a r32. if they have a recent NGK book it should have it listed.

[lows_13]

If someone knows the part number for the R32 GTS-T can they please

post it up.

[paulr33]

yep mad is right, the titania ones are gtr only.

not sure what type gtst uses.

ask your local repco, they should know

r33 can use ford el falcon (its easier to ask for at repco)

its just a generic 3 wire aca type sensor

it comes as wires, no plug. theres probably a suitable part no# to get that has the correct plug but i dont know what it is

[WogsRus]

Yep went to Speco, got a 3 wire EL falcon one, no clip cost $45

NGK OZA395-E2 cost $180 same as genuine
