hey guys, i've just bought a turbo elbow from Ebay, the elbow looks really good...but it seems that my current O2 sensor (the skinny type, 87 300zx) will not fit b/c the elbow was made to use with the fat type

now really...i don't feel like going out and spend another 90 bucks to buy a new 02 sensor to make this thing work. I've searched, but the answers i found were inconclusive. Corret me if i'm wrong but some say I can use the sensor from B14 sentra w/ minor wiring, some say the Z32 will work as well.

the question is that what's the best way for me to make this thing work w/o having to buy a new O2? any suggestion guys? thanks

Maybe you can find someone that got a greddy unit and has a blacktop.They wont be using the adapter greddy give's you.Its a long shot,But who know's.

A sensor from an '86 V6 200sx (S12) will bolt right on and even has the same plug. I was running one before.

i'm using a sensor from a 91 z32 tt. Plug and diameter was perfect for the ebay elbow. I just repinned the wires in the plug to match the blacktop sensor and i was good to go. The sensors aren't that expensive either. not 90 atleast.

Yup.. the original poster should have bought the greddy o2 elbow... it comes with the adapter.
