hi got a r33 gts-t series 1 1993 i replaced an o2 sensor from just below on the right of the blow off valve, was just wondering is there more than 1 o2 sensor in the car? cause this guy said most cars have two, i replaced it and the car quit running so rich and is great but still... seems a bit too much of a smell to be running properly. or maybe its just me... so yeh is there more than 1!?!?!? and if so where is it located im guessing under the car... sigh... shud probs get the software for my box soon... as im thinking this problem entails around that...

please help!

There is only one o2 sensor.

The o2 sensor works for highway driving, where your car is sitting on 100kph for example. When the engine is running at a steady pace, the ECU reads signals form the o2 sensor and adjusts the air/fuel ratios for better economy.

It does f**k all when you're accelerating, or idling in your carport sniffing the fuel rich exhaust gas.

That's my understanding of the o2 sensor.

if ur referring to the fuel smell at idle every car runs rich on idle to ensure a smoother idle, its the newer sort of cars that run 2+ 02 sensors one b4 the cat and one after, to this is to monitor the efficiency of the cat converters operation. of if u have a v6 then u may have 2+ sensors etc etc etc

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
