I am having problem my v35.. 2 mech checked and think it might b problem with o2 sensor, but not sure WHICH one.. (there are total of 4)

Was quoted around $1k to fix??

Does it worth this much? Any way to check which sensor is giving me this issue? Anyone face similar problem before?

Far out I hope it's not $1k!!! I suspect this is what is wrong with my V35 too as the engine light has been on (now disappeared again on it's own) and there is lots of dark smoke coming out the exhaust when I plant the foot down. I had no idea there were four O2 sensors!

Let me know how you go.. and how much it costs!!

considering how simple o2 sensors are you could always fit a generic. I've done that with all my previous cars and never had an issue. I was quoted a few hundred for one in my 944 but fitted a generic bosch one for $50 or $60.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
