nah not a noob question man. how would u learn if u dont ask?

there are variations on the design of o2 sensors. but in general most look like this:

post-40676-1201584883_thumb.jpg

they are located usually in the dump pipe. your should see it sticking out the top of the dump pipe.

it is the size of the THREAD that u have to worry about when fitting one, but most are universal fit, it is the wiring you have to watch for.

it is used to measure the AFR, then the ecu uses that info to make its adjustments.

but it is predominately used for cruising

ah cool I found it, was thinking the guys took it off when they installed an after market muffler on my car.

It sounds nice but tis shit on fuel econ and performance, had a look today and it seems they used 2" - 2.25" piping :huh:

Did you get a whole new exhaust sytem or just the catback? They wont change the dump/front and/or cat unless you ask them.

Stock dump/front pipe is 2.25" (I think, or 2.5", 2" is for NA's). (See below for pic on R33 GTST.)

ps. rofl @ your signature. What year did you leave?

nah I just had a muffler change, cause my friend told me about some of the horror stories ppl had with a cat/turbo back system installed

I measured the stock GTS-T piping and it's 60mm in diameter, the piping i had was 55mm, though not alot in it

they had to bend the pipe to fit it on which makes some part oval like and I dun think that's good for the exhaust

Oh and I left at 2000

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
