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

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

lol low life much to correct things?? :)

anyways back to THE TOPIC !!

Thanks to all the people who replyed and gave me suggestions

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

well it was blowing alot of white smoke but that would be from cold start and going to see how it runs tomorrow hopefully it all goes well..

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

Cheers.. :)

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..

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
