02 Sensor Question ( Please Do Not Take This Of Untill I Get Some Good Answers First)


Recommended Posts

the general maintenance question part on 02 sensors isn't really visited much these days so i would like the moderators to keep this post open untill i can get a few replies first, please.

I am installing a new front/dump and hiflow cat on sat and decided to save time and just replace the 02 sensor at the same time this saturday comming with abo bob....

my question is i just bought an EL falcon 02 sensor from repco for $71.99, I made sure that the thread would fit the new dump pipe i'm installing.... My R33 gtst series 2 has 3 wires for the 02 sensor, 2 white and one black, and the new 02 sensor has 2 black and one blue. I am assuming that the blue wire on the new 02 sensor connects to the black wire on my car, and i supose it doesnt matter which other 2 wires are conected to which????? can somebody confirm this????

i know this sounds like a simple deduction question but please no bullshit replies, only answer if you have reason to believe this is the correct way to connect them....

did the exact same thing to my car, and no, the colours dont make a difference. the blue goes to the black, and the others are the reference wires. you should have got a piece of paper with instructions on it on your new o2 sensor. should be on that.

nah didnt get the paper that came with it, think the store clerk lost it when he opend the box..... anyway you told me what i need to know floyd

cheers

ford el falcon 02 sensor works fine on R33 GTST

many have done so in the past and still working fine

my R33 has PFC and has ford el falcon 02 sensor and still going fine

in most automotive shops its easier to ask for a ford el falcon 02 sensor as its more common

if you say its a 1997 R33 Skyline they go - that car doesnt exist, or "isnt that 1987" - ie: R31 is only on their system

the sensor used in the R33 is a generic 3 wire 02 sensor, same as the ford el falcon 02 sensor

so its much easier to ask for a ford part cos its on all of the computers and they all stock it, plus it would be a cheaper part too

the ford el falcon one supplied will be a generic 02 sensor and not a specific ford part in a ford box with a ford plug

just a plain jane 3 wire 02 sensor with wires

the wires are heater, heater and signal

so the two that are the same colour are part of the heater circuit and the unique colour wire is the 02 signal wire (to the ecu)

as long as you match up the unique to unique and the two same colour wires to the two same on the loom you cant go wrong

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
