Oxygen Sensor

[nismoskyline32]

hi there,

just wonder where can i get a new oxygen sensor(except nissan) for RB20DET?

and how much is it?

Hi dude. Here's some of the General Maintenance FAQ-goodness

or just go to autobarn/repco. NGK do one specific for your car. using a falcon one you can't be sure it has the same resistance etc, so it may give your car inaccurate readings.

i go autobarn/repco already, but the staff said they dun have it for my car.....

well tell them to pull their finger out. i have personally seen the listing in the NGK book for both r32 and r33 skylines. they may be using an old book. they won't have it in stock, they will have to order it.

if they still say they can't get it, ask for 1 for a n15 SSS pulsar (sr20 motor). they should be able to find that since they aren't an import (well they are, but nissan imported them. they aren't a private import like skylines). they are the same part number.

i just called repco australia. god they are the slackest people in the world.

gave the dude a call and asked him for a skyline o2 sensor, and straight up he says: "you'll have to do some reseach otherwise i can't get the part number for you"

wtf?!

anyway

BOSCH: 2269013007 = $ 126

NGK: 0zA395 E2 = $155

why are the skyline ones so pricey, a mate bought one for his S13 SR20 for $50 @ repco the other week!

that said there's a trader for SAu selling the NGK ones for $110 plus $10.50 postage.

i've seen posts where people have gotten direct fit sensors for like $75.

I don't know where you're located but I'm in Victoria and got mine for my R33 from Petro-Ject in Dingley.

They had the NGK one with the plug attached ready to go.. only cost just over $100 from memory.

Try Andrew (bigsully84) from Kudos motorsports. (He is a trader on the forum)

He may be able to hook you up

i paid about $115 for my NGK 1 for my r33. it is the one that is the same as the n15 SSS pulsar one. i haven't been able to check to see if the rb20 one is the same yet.

[nismoskyline32]

thx everyone...

i asked nissan, and cost me $180

ummm....i think it will be recover from the fuel money

[flagger]

heh funny story, i asked the same dude who you rang (eug) at repco this morning while i was in store with some mates and he thought i was you....

anyway cheers for the part numbers, i will be getting my o2 sensor changed soon too. 20L/100km sux bigtime

just don't be expecting miracle sures from a new o2 sensor. it may help, it may not. if you having a lead foot is the cause it won't help.

[Munkyb0y]

agreed. a new o2 sensor made no difference to my fuel economy, although some claim it made a huge difference to theirs.

from what i gather, the biggest difference between differing results (besides safc or pfc) is whether you're clocking up k's on the open road, or city driving.

my results, ~ 50L / 320kms city driving - 420kms freeway.

[mad082]

mine are similar.

50L city = between 250 and 300k's

45L highway = 410kms (with a bit of lead foot city driving, and cruising with the flow of traffic at about 125kmh, in a 100zone)

lol what are the odds... i'm heading in just now lol

[WazR32GTSt]

i called NGK last week...

the guy had no listing for the rb20det

then, he said he'd do some research and call japan and see if he can get one in..

he called me back.. moral of the story? NGK don't make an O2 sensor for the rb20det

END OF STORY

well they should recall all of their catalogues that say they do.

dude at repco tried to charge me $140, and $150 for the NTK and Bosch ones... wtf... then tried to sell me a universal ACA one...

just ordered one from kudos motorsports... see how things go

car is no longer running rich, bit more free reving, certainly feels a little faster...
