If you took off the dump, you should replace all the turbo --> dump studs given the level of heat they are exposed too. Did you replace the gasket?

Also, remember to reset your ECU.

Its probably worth giving the sensor a good dose of Penetrene or something similar to try and loosen the thread... I would have thought a combination of socket + universal joint + extensions and maybe a breaker bar on the rathchet, would have gotten it off.

For the record, IIRC the R32 GT-R sensors require a 17mm socket/spanner. I think Wilch indicated earlier that the EL one was a 21mm: was there much play in the 22mm Gordon?

Cheers,

Lucien.

Gasket is copper and looked to be in good condition, so left it. It probably should be replaced, but I am pulling the current turbo off and replacing it all in a couple of months anyhow.

22mm is perfect fit.. 21mm is too small.

well for the record, I think it has done sweet F.A. for my fuel consumption.. just last day 8L for 50km (16L/100km ) which is on par as previously.. Reset the ECU too. We'll see how it goes over time.

  • 2 weeks later...
What about the Heat sensor on the cat. does it play a similiar role to the O2 sensor? If thhe heat sensor is removed what could be the consequences?

That has already been done to death earlier in this thread. The sensor in the cat does not affect fuel mixtures: its merely to warn you that the cat is fscking hot and not to go parking on a flammable surface.

I just changed my O2 sensor today. When I was removing the old one, I realised the previous owner must have changed it b4, cos it had 2 white wires & 1 black wire, & was the Bosch brand.

Upon removal, the O2 sensor looked really crapped. Replaced it with the new EL O2 sensor, which happened to have 2 white wires & 1 black too. I have resetted the ECU... let's hope the fuel economy gets better!

Sorry the format is so cruddy. Anyone know if I can use a table? HTML tags don't seem to do any good.

Try cut and pasting it to an editor that recognises tabs. It's easier to read.

Nissan part number for rear oxygen sensor (square 4 pin plug)

22690-05U22 RB26DTT 8908-9108

RB26DETT 9108-

A front oxygen sensor (probably original) from a RB26DTT had the following details:

Approx 46cm from the gasket to the end of the plastic plug, NTK D2F printed on the sensor,

3483 stamped on the sensor nut

A rear oxygen sensor (probably original) from a RB26DTT had the following details:

Approx 50cm from the gasket to the end of the plastic plug, NTK D2F printed on the sensor,

35F8 (possible 35F3) stamped on the sensor nut

The number stamped on the nut is probably a batch number.

OK. Here are some more numbers and facts. Please correct if necessary - and this is ONLY for the R32 GTR.

The Nissan part number for the front O2 sensor is 22690-05U21 ($253.85 from Nissan)

The Nissan part number for the rear O2 sensor is 22690-05U22 ($271.70 from Nissan).

My front O2 sensor has a length of approx 56cm, and has a flat 3 pin plug with 3 used

My rear O2 sensor has a length of approx 46cm, and has a square 4 pin plug with 3 used

(Note that these lengths are different to the post above, but I estimated, the other guy measured)

Both sensors have a black, a red and a white wire. That combination of wires appears to only happen with Titania based plugs.

With Titania plugs:

Black is Reference (Out)

Red is Reference (In) and Heater (+)

White is Heater (-)

Output is 0 to 1 volts.

Titania plugs are NOT compatible with Zirconia plugs (ie do not substitute a plug with 2 whites and a black).

If you use the the NLMS Developments diagnostic cable, the front sensor is called O2 sensor, and the rear one is called O2 sensor RH.

Ocean bought an NTK O2 sensor, part number OTD2F-2B, which only has a cable length of 28cm. Ocean says he used it as a direct replacement of the front sensor (right plug and right thread, only shorter), but the harness had to be untaped and moved a bit to take advantage of some slack, and it wasn't routed as neatly because the original was a lot longer. He didn't have an issue with the rear sensor (square plug) because he spliced the wires which made it longer.

Has anyone managed to identify sensors with the right lengths and the plugs fitted?

ah ****, the el falcon o2 sensor I bought was red black and white, so I assumed that red and black were heater + and - and the white was for the sensor.

I connected it to the old plug red - white black - white white - black

would this have damaged it? would reversing the colours to how they should be black,white - white and red - black make it work?

As when I replaced it I noticed no improvement in fuel economy

GTaaargh:  What exactly is the point you are trying to make?

Lucien.

Lucien,

I've been reading threads about O2 sensors over the last couple of weeks, and visited a lot of web sites. I've seen a lot of opinions and gathered a small number of facts - such as the actual Nissan part numbers. I figured it was no good just having them on my scribble pad, I may as well write them all down in the one spot to help others searching for the same facts.

As to where I want to end up: I want to find sensors that are 100% compatible (correct type, colour of wiring, length and plug shape) with the front and back R32 GTR O2 sensors, and maybe some of the others models. I also want to clear up the issue of Titania and Zirconia sensors as fitting the wrong one will do no good at all.

As I get more info I'll add it.

BTW - if anyone finds an exact replacement part, let me know. Also, if anyone can tell me the markings on the sensors and the cable lengths of Nissan non R32 GTR sensors, I'd appreciate it.

James

Well, check this site: Lambda sensor shop and click on the Wire Colours 2 link. If they're right (please correct me if you know otherwise) a black/white/white sensor is Zirconia, and a red/black/white is Titania. They are incompatible, no matter how you connect the wires.

The rest of the site is pretty good too.

Well I just connected the red of the nissan plug to the black, and the white and black to the two whites of the NGK plug. I assume I got it right as it seems to work?

still not noticing massive difference in fuel economy.. did advance timing somewhat, which seems to have made more of a difference. Down to about 13L/100km.. from about 15L/100km which I guess is better than nothing. Bit poor for a nearly stock R32 though :rofl:

Well, check this site: Lambda sensor shop  and click on the Wire Colours 2 link.  If they're right (please correct me if you know otherwise) a black/white/white sensor is Zirconia, and a red/black/white is Titania.  They are incompatible, no matter how you connect the wires.

The rest of the site is pretty good too.

To quote the page:

1. Count the number of wires on the original sensor.

2. Check the colour of the wires

  a. If the sensor has black, grey, purple or white wires, it will be a Zirconia sensor.

  b. If the sensor has one red wire with the possible exception of some Japanese vehicles, it will be a Titania sensor.

3. If it is a Titania sensor then check the original thread size of the sensor.

4. If you have ant doubt or query, please contact us.

Now, going by the page you linked, looking under Skyline (http://www.lambdasensor.com/main/skyline.htm) they say:

A sensor we are often asked for, is one to fit the Nissan Skyline Import. After much work we have found a Bosch sensor that we think fits the bill. Several customers have purchased these with good results.

Picture above shows the plug arrangement.  Wire length is 10.5 inches - 270mm.

Edit: Also notice that the sensor they picture does not have any red wires.

Perhaps just email them and ask which Bosch they suggest?

Lucien.

I recently bought my R33 4door auto. Driving it 370 kms home it used 3/4 of a tank.

i got abit of round town driving on the last 1/4 and fuel used was 430 km for 52 ltrs.

i think thats 12.3 ish ltrs / 100 km .... also filled up this weekend, and absolutly babying it round and its done 55kms for 1/4 tank !

So onto dyno today to check it as i have to drive to brisbane tomorrow.

Turned out it was cruising at 11.5:1 AFR !!! The Dynolog dyno can read the nissan codes directly, and the short and long term fuel trims were set max.

So a new O2 sensor and voila, 14.5:1 afr cruise now.

Hopefully i'll get over 500 kms to the tank now (close to 50 litrs as i fill just as the empty light comes on!)

I'll post results next week.

Oh car is stock save for a unshielded pod, and 3" dump and cat back. Cat is a highflow guts by the looks of it, but its a 2.5" in / out "REDBACK" cat .... compliance cat if im correct ????

Gary.

OK. I'm only interested in the R32 GTRs. However, according to NTK site the same sensor is used by the VL Non-Turbo and Turbo Dunnydoor, and the R31 Skyline.

The NTK sensors for the R32 GTRs have D2F stamped on them.

One sensor that has been used for GTRs is OTD2F-2B (right plug, right sensor, short cable). The O means Oxygen. The T means Tatania.

The Falcon EA through EL uses a OZA23-D2 (iaw the site). The Z means Zirconia.

So, IMHO, do not use the Falcon sensor for the R32 GTR, R31 or VL Dunnydore.

    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
    • Oh, and as for everyone with their fuel economy changes, I switch between E10 and 98 in the company car. Even do when I had personal cars that could run on E10. You know what changed my fuel economy in any noticeable way? How I drove, and where I drove. Otherwise, say on full tanks of just back and forth from work only (So same trips, same sort of traffic), couldn't notice a difference that I can correlate to the type of fuel in use. In the current vehicle, that's over 42L of USABLE fuel. While 98 is all "more energy dense", it also has higher knock resistance as it takes more energy to get it to ignite too. The longer hydrocarbons, typically more tightly bound. So running the same ignition map, can also produce less power, if there isn't enough time to get it all burnt through properly, as yep, the flame propagation speed is different from lower octane fuel to higher (Higher has a lower flame propagation, due to the more tightly bound and harder to self ignite funs. This is also typically where, a vehicle that is designed purely to run on 91 (Whether it be E10 or normal 91) usually sees absolutely no real world difference in fuel economy for the normal man, woman, or dog.
    • We've got some servos around me that have 91 with E10, 91 (no E10), 95, and 98. At those stations the change from 91 E10 to 91, is typically around 8c/L.   But lets not get started on the price of fuel in Oz. It's ridiculous. All the service stations around me, bar one, the price of fuel has been over the $2 mark per litre for the cheapest, 98 being around $2.45. That one service station is a CostCo, fuel from it comes from the same refineries, and makes no pitstops, it runs great, including the 98. In fact, I've had no issues on CostCo fuel, but plenty of issues at other stations!. The CostCo fuel, was $1.65 roughly this week for 94 with E10. $1.88 for 98. Servos directly across from it, $2.10 for 91 E10, and $2.48 for 98. The part I had to laugh at? If I drive multiple HOURS away from Brisbane, say out near Nanango, or Kingaroy, or even out to Goondiwindi, the price of their fuel, is the same as what it is at the CostCo... Oh, and that BP servo at Goondiwindi is HUGE and goes through epic turnover of fuel, so it's not sitting there for weeks going to shit. And what blows me away, my mate is one of the people who drives the Fuel Tanker all around QLD, delivering to all those places. At the same company his previous role was doing the "local haul" deliveries... Same truck, same driver, same pickup point it all comes from. So you tell me, how the hell it is 60c/L CHEAPER for fuel, when nearly all else is equal, except they require a B-Double to drive half a day out of Brisbane, and half a day back, every second day, compared to the delivery that can be under 30 minutes drive from the fuel pickup point... Not to mention, go five blocks down the road, and Ampol to Ampol will vary 30c/L... And I've had this conversation with my mate... The way it's priced, is just typical, pure and utter rubbish... He also does runs from Brisbane, to all over QLD, down to Newcastle, Sydney, Nowra, Melbourne, Geelong, and even out to parts of the NT depending on the companies needs. His main stuff is all the longer distance away from home for a few days at a time, then when he's back, he loves to just pickup extra shifts wherever he can in whichever truck, hence all the weird different places.   Oh, as for getting E10 into all the fuels in Australia... It was very quickly highlighted, that we don't have enough biomass available to use to make E10 sustainably like they require, and it would dramatically cut into our, and the worlds food chain supply...   I vote we all just start running on liquid methane gas... Plenty of that just getting tapped off at tips from underground decay... (Note, this is pure just stupid commenting. I could very easily highlight the reasons its not a good idea especially on scale...)
    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
