Hey guyz, I just wanted to know where can i get an o2 sensor for my R34, and where is the o2 sensor exactly located.. my mileage is pretty low so planning on getting it changed...

The 2nd thing was Where can i get a 0.8mm Spark plug for my R34 and how much does it cost...

Thanks guyz for all the help u can provide!!

I use NGK BCPR6E spark plugs.

Get them from repco, supercheap, autobarn etc for a couple dollars each.

Got 6 of them around the $30 mark

O2 sensor is on the dump pipe on your exhaust. (Look at your turbo and follow the dump pipe coming out, the o2 sensor should be plugged into the pipe.)

Not sure what model o2 sensor you would need for a r34 but expect around the $100 ish mark for one.

Or trade price should get all of that for around 100 bux :( oxy sensor is 77 IIRC, and plugs were either 11 or 22 for 6

Hey James, by the socket u mean the plug rite?

Yea man, not sure how much you know but basically your O2 Sensor looks a little bit like this (different socket)

Because of the wire you cant just place a regular socket over it and because of the placement it's a pain in the ass to use a regular spanner

What mods are done to the car?

If running a standard-ish setup, you should not be buying 0.8 - rather 1.0 at the least, could be one of your reasons for not-so-good economy.

Also get it on a dyno, see what the AFR's are doing. Could be a fuel reg slowly dying out and so on

Well i just got t dynod few days back and it has some basic stuff like pod filter,boost controller,cat back exhaust,blow of, and Apexi AFC, so evrything has been tuned and the tuner told me to go for a 0.8mm plug!!

    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
