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!

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
