Hows it going guys, im new to this forum and am still figuring out how to navigate through it.. I am also a new owner of a white 1998 r34 25gt, and am new to the nissan world :D..

2 days after i picked the car up my engine light came on.. (FFFFFFFUUUUUU ....KKKKKK).. i looked up how to get the fault codes out of the computer from this forum and im getting fault code 33. Now correct me if im wrong but this had something to do with the 02 sensor either under volting or over volting for a long period of time. Now my drive to work is about a hour and ten minutes, which i drive to and from 5 days a week.. I cleared the fault codes and 2 days later the engine light came back on and is still on, and i am yet to check it but my guess is it will spit out fault code 33 again..

I guess im going to need a new 02 sensor but heres my problem.. I cant find where to get one lol, no one sells them. Can someone give me a bit of guidance of where i can get a 02 sensor and other parts for the r34.

Also where would i post on the forum to ask if anyone knows any history on my car.. its always been around victoria..

thanks for reading and help would be appreciated..

the engine light came back on the other day driving home. i checked it and it came up with code 33 again. I had a go at playing with the wires and all but obviously has not worked. the plug and wires seem to be in good condition.

im just going to buy a o2 sensor and wack it in. the oem part is fair expensive for what it is.. i took a look and tried to find where i could get an ntk sensor from. found one on ebay i might get if i cant find a cheaper one.. says it comes from kudos Motorsport..

get this tool with it mate, coz its gonna be a bitch to take out..

youll need to get around the wire and the only tool u can use is this i reckon.. spanners wont fit and its always seized up so u will have to use a lot of torque to take it out.. I had to hammer then large wrench i had to create enough torque to leave it come undone..

you will also find WD40 handy and a warm engines always good..

its pretty staright forward if you know where the sensor is.. if u dont, let me know and ill point you to it,

so all u do is warm engine up

spray wd40

fit socket (link posted above) onto sensor and try to loosen it out..

once its out, disconnect the plug at the other end

replace sensor with the new one (screw it in place and plug in the connection)

i ended up getting the sensor. as people said yes the sr20 sensor works:D..

the ntk part number is - 0ZA395-E2

only thing was i had to use my original plug. just crimped the ends from the new sensor with the plug that came off the original one out of the car.

oh and it was only $62.. bit better the $200 for the oem sensor :P

thanks for the help guys..

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
