G'day.

I want to replace the downstream O2 sensor in my A31 Cefiro, factroy turbo.

When fitting my cat converter, I noticed the 2nd O2 sensor is different to the dump pipe one. It also has 4 wires and a different connector.

When lookin on the net I cant seem to find this downstream sensor for sale.

Has anyone come accross this before?

I would like a cheaper option as nissan want $220, and there is none in the country.

Thanks,

Matt

If it's a sensor that connects to the cat itself, most like an EGT sensor not an O2 sensor, just brings up a red light in your dash when the cat itself reaches i think 700 degrees c or more. Check the Bosch O2 sensor catalogue, I vagually recall both sensors you describe being in there for your application.

the sensor on the dump pipe is the 02 sensor used for closed loop fuel economy feedback

the sensor on the car is the cat overtemp sensor which is used to turn on the exhaust cat temp light on the dash (not required)

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 馃槢 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
