Jeez... 20 pages.

Why do people always blame the O2 sensor when their fuel economy sucks.

It could be literally hundreds of things that affect you fuel economy.

If you just start replacing things bit by bit, you could end up spending thousands of dollars on new parts and still not fix the problem.

If you have a problem, you need to solve it correctly! not the shotgun approach.

And to do this properly, you need the right tools (unfortunately for most)

What I would do is firstly get an AFR log done, and actually confirm that the car is running rich, who knows you may have a fuel leak somewhere.

If you are indeed running rich then you can start looking into things that could possibly effect fuel economy, could be a leaking injector, dodgy maf, O2 sensor...

An AFR log will tell you if its your O2 sensor or not, because once your in open loop mode your O2 sensor is not used, so if your car still runs rich in open loop mode then you can rule out your O2 sensor.

Get yourself a copy of the nissan service manual, this will show you how to test sensors, it will give you voltage readings that sensors should be outputting in various conditions and get yourself a multi meter, a $10 one from jaycar is perfectly fine and go to town on the car.

If you have a cable to connect the car to the PC I'm pretty sure there is free software you can get to log all the signals, this will be an alternative and probably easier way to see what signals are being feed to your ECU.

ok, so ive read all 20 pages i think, and im totally confused, but.....

My 32 GTST is idling like a bitch and running rich and even cuts out often.

22690-73L11 is the Nissan part number for the sensor on the R32 RB20DET? and you cant get one in australia and there is no Bosch or NTK direct replacement?

I ordered one for a rb26dett from NTK thinking it was the same and of course its different, the new one that arrived just looks like a standard VL commodore one, 3L. right wires and colours and plug but wrong sensor body.

So am I right in asuming that if i buy the OZA23-D2 FORD EL one it will fit but ill have to change the wires??

so confused it hurts lol

cheers.

just got my o2 sensor, luckily enough my local auto1 had one sitting their waiting for me as somone ordered it and never collected it :) just waiting for the dump pipe to cool alittle before i go install it *prays for better fuel economy*

Well iv been reading through all the pages and i just bought a r33 turbo.. and fuel seems to be a b...ch so far and im only getting like 200km a full tank running on 98..

and my fuel gauge goes down fast then back up abit then down

i asked today for a o2 sensor from auto pro in Malaga and they had one for $140

But any idea's were to get it installed coz im not keen to do it myself??

Any places north side ??

:S what a rip, i got mine for $100! anyway its piss easy to install mate, just look behind your turbo and you will see the sensor sticking out of the dump pipe, just disconnect it, un screw it (can be a bitch, mine wasn't to bad but the WD40 did see some use) and screw the new one on! not rocket science! :ermm:

I got a direct replacement one for my 32 GTST for $100 unpluged and unscrewed the old one and screwed in and pluged in the new one. No cutting of wires and was perfect fit

If anyone is chasing one just PM me and i'll get hold of one.

Unfortunately the Bosch universal replacement "0 258 005 726" for the 33 and 34 GTR's is not available in Australia anymore... So either adapt the NTK OZA395-E2 or get genuine - sux!

Just thought i would provide some feedback on the NTK 02 sensors i mentioned in the quoted post above for R33-34 GTR's. They were easy to setup and tune. Need to unpick one of the connectors and and get it into the factory front connector from memory. Some of the wires are a lil short to fit into the factory guides, but not by much.

Very easy to set up, and cheap too. Speak to Andrew @ Kudos Motorsport and he will fix you up with the awesome deal he has on at the moment.

No. They only have one, in the dump pipe itself.

The other sensor in the cat is just an overtemp switch, cat gets too hot it turns the idiot light on.

Only the '26 has two.

Dragging up an old comment, but was wondering can the overtemp sensor be removed when replacing the cat? As it looks like the cat I'm interested in doesn't have a spot for the overtemp switch.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
