Hey all, been a long time between posts recently. I have to move to Victoria at end of year and thought I better address a couple of issues with my car.

1/ Poor fuel economy. Will replace O2 sensor with new item. First question is does it have to be nissan genuine part or will any generic 3 wire O2 sensor work. What cost will that be?

2/ Need new air con compressor and get whole air con system overhauled. New Drier/regass etc. Where is a good place to do this on gold coast. Any ideas on what this will set me back? I figure in region of 600-700. I live at the Gold Coast

Cheers

Generic is fine, in my opinion better than the factory one as they have larger holes for the exhaust gas to flow through and don't get coked-up as easily....plus are cheaper. I've got one on my R34 and it's great.

Contact these people and ask for a Universal 3-wire Oxygen sensor e-bay oxygen sensor

i also have a 33 4door and get bad fuel economy, how does a new O2 sensor help fix this?

It enables computer to read fuel mixture more accurately. I have two skylines and did an experiment with swapping the O2 sensor, the car that was only getting 350km out of a tank instantly shot up 550-600km out of a tank of fuel on highway. On the highway it enables computer to run closed loop.

For only around the $100 mark I think it is probably worth the investment for saving so much fuel. They are meant to be changed around every 60000km or so, but this is just a guideline.

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.

      That would be a rarity. You can emulate the function of the stalk just by bridging the appropriate pins in the connector. If you can make it function correctly by doing so, then the wiring etc is OK and it is the stalk.

      I've had these LEDs and a LED EP34 flasher relay in the car since 2020. No fuses were popped either. I'll multimeter and clean off the tarnish tomorrow. From how the lights were acting after I diddle the stick make me lean towards a stalk problem.

      Are you sure you can use LEDs in the indicator lamps? On a car that old? It doesn't work on many old cars because the indicator relay can't cope with the wrong impedance out at the lamp positions and the LEDs will happily light up even with minimal current flowing through the indicator relay. And when I say "indicator relay" I mean the flasher, not a relay relay. Beyond that, I would say that you have caused yourself a wiring fault and that you would be well advised to work through the wiring diagram and the actual loom with a multimeter.
