    Default oxygen sensor for vl how 2 fit to exstractors?

    ok i scored a set of genie exstractors from the wreckers for $40 for my vl prob is they came off a carbie fed rb 30 whereas mines a efi setup and i need to put the oxgen sensor back on the exhuast i can do this but i need to know wheres the best place to put it eg do i put it right down the bottom or on the back of the last extractor pipe? on the original exhuast it was around the back i think any help would be good cheers!

    The nissan rb30 also came out in the nissan patrol and some of these where carbie & i think some of the r31 skylines also had carbie setup aswell as some vls im not sure about the vls dont quote me but it definately had carbie setup and good old rb30 stamped on the side of the block

    All VL's were EFI as all VL's had the RB30e.

    SOME Nissan Patrols had the RB30S which was carby. The only skylines with the RB30S were a few in South Africa and the middle east. None here in Australia.

    The headers off a Nissan Patrol wont be a suitable fit for your car, same engine or not.

    well ive had them on for awhile and they work fine put a 2half inch straight through on it and its good the only prob is i forgot to tell right price exhuast that they have to put the oxygen sensor on the exhuast they apart from that they work fine

    Did you notice any difference from stock headers?

    The secondary pipe and outlet slips are considerably smaller on those headers than what you will find on Genie headers for a VL.

    no they bolted srtaight up the only diference i found was that the cat didnt line up under the car probably because they where off a 4wd but the exhuast shop got that sorted and put the straight through on it and it goes sweet and yes the genie exstractors had alot biger secondary pipe than the stock setup i will take a pic and post it

    The normal VL genies will be 1/4 inch larger on the outlets and a 1/4 inch larger for the secondaries also.

    You might wanna get the exhaust place to fit the oxygen sensor man, thats probably the safest bet aye.

    to fit the o2 sensor, you'd probably have to drill a hole and us a tap(?) to thread it into the exhaust
