Help: R32 GTR - why two different o2 sensors? Anyone used the EL Faclon in a GTR?

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)

    • As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.
    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
