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

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..

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
