Its on the dump pipe! (cant miss it, its easy to get to on these cars) Just unplug it, get a good spanner onto it or a o2 socket if you have one & carefully undo it. Then reverse for install of new o2 sensor! :thumbsup:

hey fellas,dunno if this will help. i had a 32 gtst, was hungry as F. was doing like half a tank to about 120k's with a bit of boosting here and ghere, wacked some new spark plugs in it..done the same drive and it only used a quarter of a tank, massive difference. hope that helps

what plugs did you end up using? something I think I may look into...

thanks mate!! Do the S2 stags only have one oxy sensor?? (sorry if thats a dumb question)

BCPR6ES for a stock car is perfect they come either pre-gapped at 1.1mm or 0.8mm.

Depending on the state of your coil packs 1.1mm gap should be fine but if the coils are getting daggy then you might nee to gap them down to about 0.8mm.

There is only one 02 sensor.

Yeah, that sensor is the same but the plug is different

Only Nissan make the neo sensor but will charge you like $300

Just grab that one and some crimp connectors and you'll be laughing

i use good old ngk copper plugs, ive head that iridiums and other brand last longer but copper plugs spark harder. i guess that helsp burn fuel better and so on. :)

copper plugs - best spark, shortest service life

platinum - shit spark, good service life

iridium - good spark (nearly/the same as copper), good service life

so yeah, iridium is the best of both worlds

i'm only running iridium plugs because they were in the car when i got it and i know how many kms they have done (got a decent service history with the car)

reckon the ngk BCPR6ES-11 is the best option??

BCPR6ES-11 comes gapped at 1.1mm

BCPR6ES comes gapped at 0.8mm

maybe go the bigger gap, should help with fuel consumption a little (burns better but more likely to missfire if your coils are on their way out)

also, check the cat to make sure its not blocked or a ridiculousness tiny compliance cat, this could make it harder for the motor to breathe

cant remember the plug number,just went to auto barn n asked for the right plug but i set them to 0.8mm on the 32.. they are that easy to change i just done it at service time and they were pretty cheap too......and always check ya coil packs, might have a hairline crack on the back. can cause arking out... could effect fuel consumption??

I do 400 to a tank with a little right foot here and there. Has gutted cat (made a massive differance!) stock center muffler and a blitz rice cooker muffler at the rear. Also upped the boost a little and has a k&n insert for maximum drift points.

Car has 101,000km on it now. You should replace the oxy sensor every 100,000km at least! I will be getting one soon

Getting a new oxy sensor this month to help things out...

Nfi what the coil packs are... (im a nub) and getting a hi flow cat to go with my 3" turbo back exhaust soon!

once again, nfi what these coil packs are... might hit up autobarn and get some new plugs this weekend

installed :) will start using it next time I fill up :D.... just got my O2 sensor yesterday.. will install it on the weekend... its too dark by the time i get home :(....

What are you guys with a neo 25det ordering when it cones to the oxy sensor? And price and Availability ? I want one for sure but want to get the best for the neo

Then again can the stock ecu support a wide band?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
