aftermarket o2 sensor for crown

[hi-lex]

Hi all, can an aftermarket 1 wire universal o2 sensor (common replacement for local toyota's) be used on 1uz crown or later majesta? none of the local parts joints can even find a part number for ls400 which were sold locally, gen toyota can, but $350!! ea .might just try NGK universal oza401-e71, what has everyone else in oz done for o2 sensors?

I have 2 X 4 wire NGK for sale Brand new if they are anygood to you
I will find the part number later & post it

I went to Coventry and bought 2 generic sensors for about $50 each and they fitted and worked ok. Just needed to attach the 1UZ plugs

thanks madmont, thats what I was hoping to here, gazasore the oxy sensor is a single wire, cheers guys

 

[madmont]

Coventry part number was OX201

I have the above sensors in mine.
While they work, they are no better than the 16 year old ones they replaced.
I'm still using 12L/100km on the highway.

With new genuine ones, I'd expect that to drop to about 9L/100km.
I'll be getting genuine ones next (have yet to price them though)

I'll talk to my guy in the States about genuine plug in , I get everything else at a third the price so wouldn't expect oxy sensors to be any different .

 

[Gazzasore]

They start at about $250 each Peewee

 

[Peewee]

Hmm crap.
I've got the part number at home, I probably should check out the price for my own curiousity.

If they are that much, then its probably cheaper to get a WBO2 sensor with a narrow output.

12lts per 100kms on highway is ok i have afew sets of o2 sensors lying around
not sure what theyre off
id have to look at plug config

no real easy way to test o2 unless u have scanner and see what live data is on the sensors

 

[richonenz]

I can get oxy sensors that will be plug in's for around US $120.00 , freight won't really be an issue as I have stuff coming over all the time , got a pair of alloy 4 pots arriving this coming week followed by a compressor and then some more 4 pots , also need some precat oxy sensors myself .

found a dude on ebay that does generic replacement made in china for $41 posted for a pair so I will give them a try, cant expect the quality to be real good, I used my only spare set for my mates car, they were original ones. link to cheap sensors http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=003&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=130088270983&rd=1&rd=1

 

[Gazzasore]

Yes I got 2X O2 sensors from the US But they are 4 wire ones
Our Soarers etc only need the single wire ones

Thats the guy I bought mine off.
Thoroughly recommend him as a seller.

The pair I got from Coventry were Denso almost identical to the NDs which came with the motor
