So i have finally decided to get a new oxygen sensor form Mr Nissan, but my problem is that its bloody impossible to remove as i can't get a spanner in there and get enough torque on the spanner to undo it!

i tried an ultratune which was open sat mornings that is nearby me, but they don't have the tool to do it :(

now i know there is a tool which is like a big socket that goes over the o2 sensor but has a hole in the side for the wire to go through.. i went to supercheap and repco but no luck. repco have one in toowoomba but that's not much help

this is what it looks like:

so does anyone have one?

or does anyone have another special device that could help me out?

a 6-pack of beer is in it for any kind soul that wants to help me out this weekend

preferrable near to the brisbane city

cheers,

Warren

PS if you can help me out, send me a PM with your mobile/home number so that i can contact you :woot:

would a ring spanner fit in there? undo the clip and put the wire through the ring spanner hole??? although the clip might be too big to fit through the ring spanner... give it a try anyway

i use a ring spanner with a piece chopped out of it

I have always used an adjustable spanner for the 02 sensor and have always found them to be just over finger tight...

When you put the new one in just pinch it up just over finger tight again, they dont need to be done up to 100lbs with a torque wrench... :)

must say the O2 sensor was one SOB to get out, just ask warren, the thing was on so friggen tight it wasnt funny, let alone there wasnt much room at all to get to it, but all in all supercheap came in handy, and finally got it out with a 22mm long socket, Perfect fit all round, as long as you do not require your old 02 sensor, and in with the NEW one with 1/16 to 1/8th of a turn after hand tight, perfecto.

Cheers and glad to help

Splash of brake fluid and a decent open end spanner never let me down.

Has the change of O2 sensor made your car feel any better in closed loop mode Warren?

I noticed it struggled to climb revs slowly when just touching the throttle but when you just started to back off the revs would jump then fall. Usually an indication of O2 sensor malfunction.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
