when I did my built motor, I replaced all my factory 02 sensors using these (though mine is an 04). On the car now since 2007, zero issues. We've since sold tons of them, to customers all over the world and I've not had a single return or reported issue. Completely plug and play

I noticed on your site that you have one exhaust manifold sensor for the 05-08. I was told by my parts guy at Nissan that the 08 model years use different sensors, which are much more expensive than the 07's. Have you tried these Bosch sensors out on an 08? If so,and they work, that would be great as I just had to order a new one for my 08, and even with my discount it was still more expensive than the Bosch one.

Chris - Nissan says they differ by alot (price is staggering on that 08 one!). I can't say if we've sold any to 08 owners though. If you get a chance, snap me a pic of the plug on the 02 sensor and I can see if it matches up. Just email it to me z1sales@z1auto.com

GTM Motorsports has a bosch O2 sensor as well for half the price of an OEM one from the "stealership" or somewhere like Autozone.

Thanks for the advise on gtm sensor BUT that's a wideband and I don't think I can use that in my cat.
