Oxy Sensor On Dump Pipe

Hey all,

I got a 3" dump pipe made up as well as the rest of the system that I needed (3" till it hits my fuji cat back) but when the exhaust shop were taking the stock dump pipe off, the oxy sensor broke. They tried to fix it with some electrical tape and pushed it back in but now I am getting a engine warning symbol.

Anyone know what these sensors cost roughly?

Cheers

Cameron

hmmmm....I have seen em on Import Monster for about $250(I Think). Let me know if you need a link.

Holy crap guys, I think I will make him pay after all!

$250!!!

Link would be great mate, thanks.

Timing is everything I guess (just happened to be looking on IM and the O2 sensors were on the next page I loaded up!)

CLICK HERE for the Import Monster link... but I think with shipping and commission, it will be north of $250... somewhere around $325

Just called Nissan, their trade price is $170 including GST for a new unit, but you will have to wait 10 business days from when you order (not that bad IMO)

The O2 sensor from a VQ25det part number is 22690−AL600

Thanks for that guys, I think the exhaust shop I took my car too was a bit novice.. Regret much? :P

these things happen, O2 sensors are easily damage during removal if not careful, all that constant heating up and cooling down makes them a real bitch to crack loose. i don't know where it is on the M35 but i've seen its quite cramped in there, they probably just had the wrong angle with a spanner and were rushing a little and damaged it. the dodge part is that they tried to tape it up, did they mention it too you at all and offer to replace it? if not, thats just bad business.

They mentioned it to me and showed it to me, but did not offer to replace it. They did say they would actually put it on though.. I don't know if this is enough as the exhaust came in $250 over what they quoted and took an extra 2 days to complete.

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
