easiest thing to do is get underneath and take your downpipe off. get the pipe onto a bench and you can get at it much easier.

While you're at it, take out the cat and build a sidepipe.

Please? It will amuse us.

Hey bud, I have a 34 in mirrabooka not exactly a mechanic but I've got a decent sized tool set and some wd40 as suggested might be able to give you a hand bud.

PM me an i'll see how I go.

cheers,

Steve

Do you happen to work at Auto Pro by any chance??

i tryd getting it off with a spanner but had no room to move..

And thanks people for all the replys..

Get your downpipe off and put it on a bench. Use a regular ring spanner if you can get the plug through the hole (if not just snip the wires). Use a product "Loctite Freeze'n'Release". Furthermore, don't be a gay -- gibbiter and it'll crack.

Take the pipe off? Wow...long way of doing things?

I have a crows foot fitting that i use to do the O2 sensor. Assuming it is not siezed in there, 5 minutes will have the old one off, new one on. PM me if you would like a hand one evening.

Hey mate don't know what a crows foot fitting is.. sounds impressive =/

Just noticed you're in ellenbrook - were you crusing with 2 other skylines around lunchtime on sunday and passed a black 34 sedan with gold rims that waved??

Hey guys naa havent had the chance to sort it out

been stuck with work but ask a guy from work if he may have a tool since he has like heaps of tools and he will bring me one to work 2moro to see if it works

hopefully it all goes well coz i filld up agen today..

and naa dont think iv seen the black 34 around unless u drive around landsdale n mirrabooka..

crows feet spanners are just like ring spanners but a little section is cut out so u can put it over sensors and pipes ect.

its not that hard guys just take off the heatshield and any other bits of crap that might get in the way, ive taken mine off multiple times with a shifter and a little manpower

Hey guys just need help to remove my O2 sensor under the hood on my R33 Gtst...

Firstly open the doors to the car and get in. Once inside look up at the HOOD, carefully remove the HOOD lining without damaging it. Find the O2 sensor and grab it. Then take the O2 sensor to the front of the car and locate the BONNET, The BONNET is the large piece if steel that runs from the windscreen to the bumper. Lift the BONNET and locate the O2 sensor hole, it then should be easy to refit the O2 sensor in the threaded hole as the O2 sensor was positioned incorrectly under the HOOD.

Come on we live in Australia not America! FFS it a bonnet not a hood. A trunk is what a elephant has and the black round things that go over the rims a called Tyres not Tires.

Sorry, just getting sick of all the USA crap

i got the O2 sensor off today and started it up tonight as i had to go out after i replaced it..

and thanks to the people who offerd there time to want to help me and organise to meet up with me..

Just so you guys are in the know, you can actually buy special oxygen sensor sockets that have a split that the wire fits into.

Covs sells them =)

Yeh i had a look at them at auto pro $60 for the tool sockit..

but got it done now with another tool that is almost like that..

just seeing how its runs this week..

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
