I changed the O2 sensor on Sat and so far haven't noticed any change in fuel consumption from the first 1/4 tank. Do i need to reset the ecu? I disconnect the negative terminal and stomp on the brake pedal a few times right?

Is there anyway of checking the O2 sensor to see if it's connected alright? My crimping skills aren't very flash :glare:

Car is a S2 Stagea, RB25DET NEO.

Thanks!

I just did the same thing too mate. I reset the ecu as u mentioned above and i feel that it did make a slight amount of difference. Haven't driven the car enough since to really tell about the fuel econ. If you want to see that the sensor is working you can cut some of that black tube cover away just after the plug where the sensor plugs in. If you have a look there you will see the plastic insulated wires there. If you have a sharp knife you can shave some of the insulation away to see the signal wire. I did this and hooked my multimeter up to it to read the values. An analogue meter might be better to use for this testing.

I read somewhere on the forums that sometimes the engines needs a week of driving to "learn" before you see any affects of the new O2 sensor so i will keep an eye on it.

I don't have a multimeter so it might be something the mechanic does when i take it in for a tune in a couple of weeks. I'll try resetting the ecu though.

Cheers.

hey webng just wonderin were u got and how much the new o2 censor was

Got the NGK/NTK OZA395-E2 from Petroject in Stepney, Adelaide for $78. Unfortunately the plug didn't match so I had to cut and crimp the old plug to the new sensor. Didn't take too long but I would highly recommend getting a sensor socket, a lot easier i'd imagine!

Apparently the original Nissna part cost double that. I was quoted about $160 for a workshop to do it.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana 路 Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu 路 Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus 路 Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...

      But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
