Hey I plugged in my consult today and the o2 sensor plays around at .70 to .80 volts, is it busted, could that be why I'm only getting 200kms to a tank, if so where's the best place to get a brand new one, there's no point in getting a second hand, thanks.

im looking at replacing my 02 sensor that is attached to the dump pipe and i came across this one on ebay what are peoples thoughts on it link is pasted below

I bought an aftermarket one off kudos motorsports which plugs straight in (highly recommended trader)

Didn't really improve my fuel economy but i do 90% city driving. I wonder whether the geniune item which is double the price can do a better job...

It either works or it doesn't there isn't much to them. If it is working then buying another working one will produce basically identical results.

Fellas:

100% confirmed that NGK / NTK part no: OZA395-E2 can fit in an r34 GT-T and does work.

100% confirmed the plug DOESN'T FIT, however the switch is extremely simple.

im getting MUCH better fuel economy since installing the Zirconia 3-Wire, 22mm O2 sensor for the 32 / 33.

stop paying $220 for the original one!!!

Installed Power FC - doing basic setup for a tune as suggested in the Power FC FAQ.

Whenever I put it into closed loop mode it starts to idle really rough, A/F goes very rich on my wideband (12:1), and it barely drives. If I take it out of closed loop it runs richer than standard ECU but idles and drives normally.

I know closed loop relies on the oxygen sensor to trim fuel at steady accelerator levels - so does the above indicate it is stuffed? I did a sensor check at idle through the hand coontroller and it sat at 1.3 V. i revved it and it didn't change? Is it time for a new one?

Thanks,

Pete

yes

you may also be able to run a simulated output from your wideband to the ecu

Cool - thanks mate! I'll read the wideband manual regarding the simulated output function.

Also, does anyone know how the cheaper NGK ones compare to the more expensive OEM Nissan ones? I checked them both out on Kudos' site.

Thanks again!

**SORRY for the double post - didn't think the stupid phone uploaded the first one!**

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
