ok guys im on my way home from work today and i hear mytest pipes start making an awful sound. Im on the highway so i pull off the nearest exit. Sounds like im running open exhaust. I pull over get out look under the car and my 02 sensor came out of my bung or whatever its called and is completely gone? wire is still dangling there but thats it WTF. I Tightened the crap out of them when i put them on. Im not gonna drive the car till i get it fixed but where can i get a Driverside 02 sensor? Are they all just plug and play or what? i didnt really wanna go to the dealer And here how i voided my warranty etc. Thanks guys.

 

Call up Z1 motorsports they'll have one more than likely. (770) 838 7777

 

called and left a message thanks man.

 

Despite rumours to the contrary, there are no warranty spies in the parts department. What you will get is an entire sensor assembly.

Then it is time to do a little trouble shooting. Like what made the sensor fall out of the test pipe?

 

+1 and ive always heard it's best to replace them in pairs?

 

yeah iw as thinkin about grabbing a couple versus just one.

 

ill hit the nissan dealer on the way home from school tomorrow is it possible i could drive my car without any damage being done to it without the sensor in?

 

bump can it hurt the car by driving without the sensor?

 

IMO i dont think it will hurt it, but it'll prolly run like ish. i wouldnt drive it if you dont have to, and if you do drive it easy?

 

yeah well i got a commute to school 30 miles but its all highway and i can drive really really easy on it. If not i gotta have my mom come pick me up and take me. So i think ill just limp on to school leave a little early and take it easy.

 

we have new sensors in stock if you need, can overnight for Tuesday to you.

 

ill find out and let you know bro if i can get them at oreillys then ill prob just do it there. Cause i need them asap i have a 30 mile commute one way everyday i need to fix it asap thanks though.

 

i would suggest oem nissan sensors but that's me?

 

would there be that big of a difference? i thought that the oreilly ones were the same? guess not.

 

oem i think would be better quality, and you are putting them in a z? I might think differently if i was putting them into a pos though. oem is usually better quality than the chain parts store replacements though.

 

K i pmed z about getting some overnighted. I just hate to drive on it anymore then i have to. Im sure it will be ok if i just baby her around though. Hell thats how i drive 90% of the time anyways.

 

That's just my opinion not that i know anything? but that's what i would do personally. good luck

 

yeah i like your thoughts better im gonna go oem thanks for the help bro and everybody else. Z1 you got pm bud.

 

If you have to drive the car around - maybe over 10 miles or so, I wouldn't You'll foul out plugs, run super rich, and throw things off.

Rent a car for a day.
