Well i was just curious if anyone has used these before? I'm not sure exactly how long the o2 sensors have been on there, cause they've been there since I have owned the car. Just wondering what your thought are.

i'm thinking about getting those as a replacement because my stock ones are done but haven't found any info...must not be very popular.

i guess since they're made by ngk they should be great, right?

Hey I just noticed you have the same year and model as me! How many miles do you have? I just rolled over 200k still using synthetic oil with no burning and only a small leak from the valve covers!

Yes, as noted above, NTK and NGK are the same brand. NTK o2 sensors should treat you well.

I just replaced the rear o2 sensor. Nissan wanted $177 fortheir so I put in a Bosch from Autozone for $99. It appears tobe working fine (one mo. installed). I used plenty of antisiezeon the threads of the hole and on the sensor threads (no antisieze on thesensor itself). The car has quit generating other CEL codes for theknock sensor and another for engine misfire since I did this.

i also have the same color as yours , probably a little under 200k miles but can't be certain because the odo was stuck at 152k when i bought it. my valve covers and the water pump cover leak a little which i'll fix eventually but no oil burn - just did my oil change and went with castrol gtx hi mileage 5w30.

btw i have the same bumper lights great minds think alike

i thought about those tails but they're a little too shiny for my crappy paint and would stick out too much. instead i'm gonna red out all of the tails or just the outers to cover the blinker - not decided yet though.

time to dig this one up...

just ordered both front ntk o2's from ebay for $44 shipped. they're universal but the seller has the info which wire is for what in his faq.

now...can anyone tell me which one is which on the harness? because i'm damn lazy

btw also got a fstb for $25 shipped...don't see how it could be inferior to brand name expen$ive ones like stillen - no offense to their product, i just have to be cheap.
