Hi all,

Just wondering which wideband oxygen sensor to get. First thing is what are peoples thoughts on running an O2 gauge? I don't particularly want to but I spose it would be good to monitor AFR's. This car will be doing lots of drifting and I was hoping to just run oil temp, pressure and water temp.

Will be using an Adaptronic select plug in R34-GTT ECU.

Would ideally like to run something from the tech edge catalogue because they are Australian. All I really need is a sensor to feed wideband AFR's to the ECU.

Having a gauge is a personal preference thing. Personally I look at it after doing any work in the engine bay but if you're hammering it around the track you won't so much as glance at it

edit: I'd have to agree with the MTX-L. I couldn't get the serial output working on my AEM EUGO but with a mates MTX-L it never had an issue. (same PC)

Email adaptronic for the gauge, there is one that can be wired into the ecu and give you real life reading on both the gauge and loges with the ECU. I've got that on my Kia, works very well and very handy when comes to road touch ups.

yeah that would be the Innovate MTX-L lol

If you're not really fussed about the gauge, how does the LC-1 compare against MTX-L? Have heard reports about it being "hard to wire up" but I'm not sure if that's a legitimate complaint. Some people shouldn't be let loose near a soldering iron :P

There is an LC-2 newly released but adaptronic not carrying it yet.

Not sure how accurate these are, i have mine installed pre cat and got the car dyno'd today and the readings were a fair way of.

Both or one of them might be due for a free air calibration?

I had a brand new AEM UEGO that was reading about .6-.8 more rich than at the tailpipe after comparing 2 other widebands.

The only difference is that the permanent sensor is installed pre-cat obviously. Not sure if that's normal

Agreee with that. My LC1 seemed to read great. Had a 10% difference with the sensor used on a dyno.. trusted the dyno sensor and ended up maxxing out 555cc Nismo Injectors with not enough power to match.

Ditched the Dyno and operator when he was "going for the 300kw" regardless of the rich detonation, and took over 10% fuel out from 3500rpm and above on the road on the way home. Turned out the LC1 was spot on.

I just made sure i re calibrated it each Oil change. 3+ years now.

I got 4 years out of mine on ethanol, but it wasn't the sensor that went, it was the LC1 unit that failed.

It is carbon that buggers the sensors, especially if the heater can't keep up with cleaning it off. I know tuners that replace the sensor every week or two as they cop a hiding from running rich on petrol.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 馃槃  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
