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.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
