Nissan Skyline GTR Emblem

Nissan Skyline GTR. The best of the best built by Nissan Japan. What was in their mind when they first developed this mighty Godzilla some called. Well I am not sure but, they have done a great job by introducing the Skylines....

The GTR34 front gril emblem is a highly sought after market part. There are a few reason behind this. First the GTR owners tend to loose the emblem to the thieves. Sometimes a GTT owner who is in the midst of upgrading his GTT to a GTR body kit also need the emblem to give the final touch. The GTR emblem will complement all the effort that they put to upgrade the car to a GTR.

How to find an emblem if you have lost or in need? This is a very tough question to answer. Obviously the emblems are made in japan by Nissan. Where and how they sell these part is a tricky question. One had to put a lot of hard work to acquire this part. Why, because there are too many imitation versions are available at the market.

Recently I had a chance to get a piece for my beloved ER34 GTT. What a satisfaction and proud to install a genuine Nissan Skyline GTR emblem on my GTT.

O2 Sensors

Nissan Skyline O2 sensor.
Every new car, and 80% of cars produced after 1980, have an oxygen sensor. The sensor is part of the emissions control system and feeds data to the­ engine management computer(ECU). The objective of the sensor is to help the engine run as efficiently as possible and also to produce as few emissions as possible.

­A gasoline engine burns gasoline in the presence of oxygen. It turns out that there is a particular ratio of air and gasoline that is "perfect," and that ratio is 14.7:1 (different fuels have different perfect ratios -- the ratio depends on the amount of hydrogen and carbon found in a given amount of fuel). If there is less air than this perfect ratio, then there will be fuel left over after combustion. This is called a rich mixture. Rich mixtures are bad because the unburned fuel creates pollution. If there is more air than this perfect ratio, then there is excess oxygen. This is called a lean mixture. A lean mixture tends to produce more nitrogen-oxide pollutants, and, in some cases, it can cause poor performance and even engine damage.

Th­e oxygen sensor is positioned in the exhaust pipe and can detect rich and lean mixtures. The mechanism in most sensors involves a chemical reaction that generates a voltage (see the patents below for details). The engine's computer looks at the voltage to determine if the mixture is rich or lean, and adjusts the amount of fuel entering the engine accordingly.

The reason why the engine needs the oxygen sensor is because the amount of oxygen that the engine can pull in depends on all sorts of things, such as the altitude, the temperature of the air, the temperature of the engine, the barometric pressure, the load on the engine, etc.

When the oxygen sensor fails, the computer can no longer sense the air/fuel ratio, so it ends up guessing. Your car performs badly and uses more fuel than it required. Prepare your wallet for some heavy spending to replace the O2 sensor. Try to get an original brand name O2 sensors. Below is the O2 sensor for Nissan Skyline ER34GTT by Nissan.
