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.

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) :P 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 :D

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
    • I do know where there is a fair few 😉
