Hi All,

Can anybody tell me how much it usually costs for an o2 sensor on the R34 GTT. Also where can i buy one from? Apparently mine is not registering properly.

Also where can i get a radiator cap for the R34?

Thanks in Advance all.

Justin.

radiator cap and o2 sensor are probably both available from repco/autobarn.

the o2 sensor may possibly be the same as the r33, but i don't know for sure. if you know someone with a 33 have a look and compare them. i know the r33 are available from autobarn (i bought 1). it was about $120 for a NGK one.

the radiator cap should be a pretty universal item, it would just be getting the one with the right pressure rating so you don't end up blowing your radiator or hoses to bits.

O2 sensors can be purchased from Nissan but they are expensive. The R34 ones are the same as an EL falcon O2 sensor from memory...do a search or someone can confirm this...mine was replaced at around 40ks with the ford falcon one...cheaper option does the same thing.

Radiator caps are mostly universal..u can get ricey blitz or nismo ones from autobarn or ebay..bout $30 roughly.

What do you mean the O2 sensor isn't registering properly?

I changed sensor a few months ago. I can't say I've seen any noticeable difference. I did it to see if the fuel consumption would get any better. Sadly, no luck.

PS: I got mine from the City Nissan in Auckland (perhaps too far away from you), for about NZ$250.

my mechanic at Proconcept hooked up this liitle doohicky thing to my car and the air flow was not changing at all. He said the sensor needs to be replaced as the car will always try adjusting and consuming more fuel

I dont expect a huge difference in fuel consumption although maybe the engine light will stop coming on - turns on infrequently.

Trust your mechanic, but always keep an eye on him, I say. I changed mine at home with my mechanic friend (he did most of the work). It was really tough to remove the old ones, as it appeared to have fused itself to into the metal.

Good luck.

Thanks - So you did use the EL Falcon o2 sensor on your R34. Can you advise where you purchased this and how much it was.

Thanks

I've got an EL Falcon 02 sensor in my car... cost me about $60 from Repco...

Don't know why I bothered since my 02 sensor is doing absolutely nothing at the moment; just chills there being all cool inside my split dump :happy:

It was done thru my mechanic, they purchased it and fitted it and cost me $180 all up which was including labour. My chk engine light was coming on intermittently and they had to run it through their consult machine to determine what was faulty etc...

Problem solved after the faulty o2 was replaced.

and it was definitely the EL Falcon and you have a 1998 R34?

Sorry for all the questions dude - going to buy one now.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
