Hey guys,

just seeing

1) who might be interested in a group buy on O2 sensor's

2) is there a difference between R32 33 and 34

3) how much should i ask for them I'm thinking roughly 10 units @ $90-100

also my exhaust place says its (from memory) called trident?? and he claims there better than the NGK ones

discuss

*****GROUP BUY OPEN*****

part NGK R33 o2 sensor also fits R32 but not R34 im looking into what the R34 is

Price $61.60inc.

even if you've already stated you might like one please register your intent on purchasing one and i will pm you bank details and add you to the list

i will limit this group buy to 10 people @ 2 weeks from today's day and i will make it all payments in by Friday 21st February, if there is a lot of people wanting o2 sensors i will make a GB #2

thank you

interesting would that be the xr6 turbo one or just any old falcon one?

ford one's can be used they are around 50 bucks new.

ah ok , well lets see where all this talk leads us ill ring the guy who will talk to the supplier for us on monday

well, i have 1 thats working fine, 1 thats on the blink.... =P hence, only need 1 (i thinks)

before you all go rushing out to buy an o2 sensor (btw i dont have your otherone steve) you can test it easily to see if it works or not.... if it works no point wasting your cash and replacing it since your going to be 60 bucks down and have the same economy to show for it.

grab a multimeter and start the car when its at operating temp... probe each of the 3 wires til you find the signal wire (i think its the middle one, could be wrong) and the signal wire should vary between 0.1 and 0.9 volts continuously at idle. if it just stays on a figure... its stuffed

this is the perfect thread for me.....i was just going to ask if anyone knew how to test for a O2 sensor....well thanks to simon now i know what to do and what to look forward to......

quick question

my car has a stock ecu, afm, fuel pump and all.....and its running hell rich just wondering what could i do to not have it running so rich....from what i have heard is that stock r33 ECU's cannot be tunned so how would they make it not run so damn rich.....

This is the NGK part number for the O2 Sensor:

OZA395-E2

I know the R32 and R33 are the same but i am not sure about the 34 as i have not had to replace mine as yet.

I think that Steve and i are going to pull our O2 sensors off and see if they are the same.

All well & good using the Ford sensor if it's the same wire configuration & range. You do have to be careful how you set them up though.

To adapt the Ford sensor to the original connector, all terminals should be crimped using heavy duty connections NOT soldered. Then the crimps should be wrapped in something like a heat resistant vulcanising tape.

If you solder wires you risk having issues with readings later on when the joints fail, & they will fail. Additionally soldering alters the voltages on what is a very sensitive piece of equipment. It only takes small variations with an O2 sensor for the ecu to interpret things quite differently.

While testing with a Multimeter is good for a basic functional test, I wouldn't be willing to bet my life that it's working 100%. O2 sensors do deteriorate with age & use. After only about 60,000km's mine was stuffed, & it never worked as good as it should from the moment I had the car at only half those kays.

Madaz, if you're looking for a supplier I know someone that may be able to get you a pretty good price for a group in either Bosch or NTK (otherwise known as NGK when it comes to spark plugs). The Bosch ones are quite expensive.

I personally run an NTK sensor in mine on the stock ECU & it runs really sweet, with good power & economy.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
