The R32 GTR has two different O2 sensors - eac has a different part code and price with Nissan. Anyone know why?

Since I have to replace both, I was wondering if anyone had used the EL Faclon universals?

Since the GTR is known to have a lean #6 piston, I'm worried that using the EL Falcon option might lean it out and blow engine up........ which would be very baaaad....

Would aprpecaite people'sexperience/knowledge in this area.....

The car won't lean out and blow up due to the O2 sensors, they are not refferenced under full load (WOT). They are there to enable the car to be fuel effecient at cruise (part throttle/light load) conditions. Can't advise you on using the universal sensor, but as long as it fits, and give the right volatage signals there shouldn't be a problem.

i would have a stab in the dark and say that one of the sensors may have a diffrent connector on it...this would be for front and for rear half of the engine...the reason behind this would be so that you dont connect them arse about....i would assume the actual sensor will be the same....just the connector would be diffrent....if not...just possibly a longer lead on it

Could be the case. ONe is a three pin, the other with 4 pin (but only 3 pins used), but there's a $10 price difference between them. I thought perhaps Nissan might be clever and use two narrowbands to get a wideband reading.......

So, has anyone fitted the Falcon EL universals to a GTR with GOOD Results?????

if thats legit ^^ then id look into that xfixiate. el falcon ones are 70-120 ish each?

Universal EL Falcon $100 new each from Petrojet.

But since no-one can seems to know the mapping between them, then how dya know that the voltage going back from the EL isn't read by the GTR CPU as too rich and the mixture is leaned up?

Burn your valves out or blow a piston to save a couple of hundred bucks?

I'd use them if I could get the data, or be able to talk to someone that has dynoed the EL Falcon ones on an R32 GTR and looked at the results....

Matts would be 2nd hand? Since they are supposed to be replaced every 40kkm I think I'll be buying new ($400 for both)

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
