O2 Sensor On A R32 Gtr

[Scratch]

Where abouts is the o2 sensor located in a r32 gtr? Is this part cleanable with electronic contact cleaner?

cheers!

On the dump pipes.

Nope.

(Well technically you could clean off the built-up gunk but I've yet to see an O2 sensor improve this way, as opposed to AFMs, which need a clean every now an then)

if u are worryed about it.. un plug it and put your ohms meter and see if it changes when the car is running... doesnt change or flat spots... stuffed!

thanks for the tip!

If you place a voltmeter in series along the sensor's signal wire, you should see the output voltage oscillate between 0.4V and 0.8V (for RB26). If it is outside that range, doesn't oscillate at all, or the mean is not around 0.6V, then the sensor has had it.

If you have access to a Consult cable, that is 1000 times easier, as you need to check the sensor when hot (ie. scorch your hands trying to place the meter along the wire).

Hope that helps. If you're near Western Sydney I can help out with the Consult cable. Cheers.

thanks for the offer mate, i'm unfortunately in WA. looks like i'll have to find or buy the cable.

Does anyone have a picture of where its located by any chance.. i must be needing glasses as i cant find it...

If you jack up the car, follow the front pipes to where they are bolted to the dump pipes. The oxygen sensors are about two inches long and are screwed into the dump pipes. They will be the only things screwed in, look like a thick brass pen and have wires coming out the top.

It would probably be cheaper to take the car to Mr Nissan and have them run Consult to help you check the sensor function (and everything else whilst you're there) They'd probably charge 1h labour but you could save a lot of hassle with wiring in meters etc and it'd be cheaper than using a mechanic to hoist the car and have them do it. The Consult plug is in the drivers side fuse panel - ie. very easy to access

Many thanks to all who responded, i found it. two of them to be exact, one fo each turbo. the sensor plugs were blocking my view!
