the O2 socket has a gap you can slide the wire out of i have one, best investment ever when i need to remove it... But go to your local parts store

its like 20 bucks for hte socket

I see, thought it was one of those $100 tools which you use once every 2-3 years! Will check the local Repco and get a O2 sensor from them too. One size fits all?

thanks for the tip .. I was really not keen on removing that heat sheilding to get a spanner in there.

yeha

but unless you cut off the lead fmor your OLD o2 sensor you cant use a socket

other option is to take off your o2huosing and then remove with a wrench.

ther eare two sizes that i know of

i got the larger one

it has worked on everything from Mecedes, to hondas, to mitsu, to nissan

Thats exactly the economy my series 2 gets. I earthed the boost solenoid last week, so am interested in how that affects economy. I have a theory (untested) that having higher boost coming on early will assist in moving the weight of the Stag up to cruising speeds easier, so therefore the fuel consumption my even out, or even be slightly better. I will let you know how it goes. It certainly helps the driveability, and means I dont have to sink the right foot as hard as before.

I havent done a trip in the car since getting it a year ago. I was hoping to come up for the skyline show & shine, but had to miss that in favour of the rugby test.

Brief Update. Fuel economy the same as before (420kms). This is good news, given the improvements in mid-range power and torque. Not sure whether one trip is enough evidence to test my theory, but it certainly hasnt gone backwards. :(

lol not me a mate dreamed it up (should open a tool store i reckon), but it does work pretty well, since we cut it down short enough to be able to turn it more easily down on the rear dump pipe which is really tight. Pretty sure it was 22mm which was the other bonus.....who is going to miss a 22mm ring spanner?

try your local autoparts supplier other than the ones mentioned above, i mean small ones they might have it or they will be able to source one for you.

Tried spanner, couldn't get enough "purchase" to twist.

I've ordered a socket from ebay, $22.80 delivered. Hopefully I'll get it next week. Once I have it, anyone in Adelaide need to borrow it, PM me :P

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
