wld747, i got a ford el sensor and it was $85, that was the cheapest i could find unfortunately but still worth it. I thought i'd get off my butt and do something so i have taken a photo of the o2 sensor just for the people who want to see. No ragging my photography as the camera ain't much chop and i don't have much time to photoshop it.

int21h, I just bought a Ford EL oxygen sensor (Bosch 13950) for $95 from Schultz Auto Electrical in Willetton. Didn't try anywhere else so I don't know if theres any cheaper in WA.

There must be another Nissan with the same connecter, wire type and thread as the R33's O2 sensor. Would save time with re-wiring. Can anyone with Maxima's or Pulsar's check it out? :rofl:

I just came back in from giving up. The freaking thing is well stuck in my aftermarket dump. It'll unscrew a couple of turns and go no further. I think I'll leave it to some one with the skills and tools (I only had a non-metric spanner in that size!).

My fuel economy sucks ass!!! think i just bust 300k's to a 45L tank.

I notice too that when my car idles, and the thermo's kick in (82deg water temp) there is a pop in the exhaust... any ideas why?

Mase: Where abouts in Brissie did you score your O2 sensor? i might have a crack at that too.

mine used pop and shake the cabin some times when sitting for a while. I bumped up the idle and just recently replaced my battery terminals as the negative was only just sitting on the terminal as it was broken. I also cleaned up the earth to the chassis. It now seems to idle a lot smoother and doesn't shake the cabin any more. I replaced the battery also. it turns over nice a quick now.

Time will tell...

joel,

nah plugs are fine... i think its probably the cranking rate or something associated with the EMS. but cant seem to put my finger on it.

2-3 seconds is a long time when people are scoping your car and it doesnt kick over straight away :)

Brissie ppl.... where do i go for my O2 sensor ? :)

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
