well i tried removing my o2 sensor the other day, it has come off 6 months ago when i changed dump pipes..

after my efforts the other day my ecutalk is telling me the o2 sensor is really really farked now, not just farked.... o2 is reading between .00v to .99v at idle... car is running like total crap and conks out when left for 1min or so...

now that i know its totally farked, reckon i just bash the top off it with a hammer and undo the bottom part with a socket set? have to get it off, and ive got a replacement here...

ive unplugged it and its running .30v which is cold start now so it will run rich as....

any opinions or ideas?

thanks all

Ed

ive tried just about everything else, when we got it out of the old dump it was put in a vice and a spanner and breaker bar was used!

this is looking like the only way, used a spanner, breaker and hammer in my driveway but couldnt get it off!

smashy smashy time!

Yikes!

Get some innox or some kind of rust-easing spray onto it overnight. Then give the ol' spanner another try.

OR... if you don't care about the old one, the bashing the top off to get a socket on will probably work too... if you get more leverage on the ratchet than you do the spanner.

UPDATE

the right size spanner, some wog power and juggernaut power we managed to get it off without breaking it

pitty i wanted to smash something....

new sensor is in and reading alot more smoothly, although there are still some variations in the voltage i think thats because its running rich due to the tune...

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
