I have an O2 Sensor from a RB30, and there are 3 wires... here is the problem :

What are the wires for?

1x Yellow Wire

1x Black Wire

1x Red Wire

Black and red and not power wires are they... this is standard + / - stuff, but I wouldn't think that the sensor would require external power?

Is the Yellow wire the signal wire, and the other 2 heater wires?

What is the Yellow Wire for... any help would be V. handy !

Thanks guys... I await speedy reply's

1) Get a multi meter

2) When you cross 2 of the wires you should get a reading of 10ohm or less... these are the heater wires

3) When you cross the 3rd wire with anything else... it should read 'open circuit'... this 3rd wire is the signal / sensor wire !

just F.Y.I ... Thanks Bozz !

red is power for the internal heater

black is ground (other end of heater)

yellow is interesting. aftermarket? the ones i've seen are white but would be the actual probe which returns 0-1v depending how much exhaust gas is passing past.

note that O2 sensors are matched to different ECUs and the stoich curves may be different (ie an RB30 O2 may have a more narrow curve than the RB25 ECU is programmed for)

I have the ca18det and the plug goes. black white red (left to right) on the other side of the plug the black goes to a blue, white to grey and the red goes to a grey with a white trace.

So what im trying to figure out is which one is the signal. the instructions say that its not polairty dependant for the heater wires. the replacement has 2 black and 1 blue. (universal 3 wire)

If you want to know the difference between the different types of O2 sensors, try this link: (about half way down the page)

Also, the current NGK Spark plug & O2 sensor catalogue has detailed information on these including pics of the different plugs - great for matching up an alternative to that expensive OE Nissan sensor!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.

      Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...

      Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
