| Hey Guys, Most of our cars are now 20 years old and they have NEVER had an oxygen sensor change! The oxygen sensor detects how much excess air is in the exhaust gas, and leans or richens the mixture up as required. After 20 years of exhaust gas flowing, the sensor does get coked and worn out - thus you will have more fuel consumption than usual over the years! Changing the oxygen sensor is an easy DIY job (I will provide a guide/video for you all!) that costs $110 delivered for the part in this GB and you will probably make that money back in 2 months of fuel savings! This is a factory Denso part, that is built to last for many years and should improve your fuel economy by 1.5-3 liters per hundred! So that means a tank of fuel should take you 50km further - especially if you do a lot of highway driving! Pic:
Note: Will not fit V8 - but I can find a suitable replacement and run another GB for those interested! Price - $110 Delivered! 100% bolt on for Soarer 3 wire, rectangular plug o2 sensor. List 1. Costa Tsimiklis 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. PM me for paypal (115 delivered) or bank details $110 delivered. |

| This is a factory replacement, so it's narrow band. Plug and Play. Wideband kits usually cost 250+ and need a custom install. 1JZ VVT-i, Please let me know how many pins the plug is - I think it's a 4 pin plug, which is the same as the Supra JZA80 - if so, I can get you one of those. Cheers |

| Hey Orton, Can you confirm it has a 4 wire plug in a 2x2 configuration? The non VVTI supra has a 4 pin plug - I'm under the impression it is the same from the EPC. Cheers |

| Ok I have just confirmed, thanks to James Buchan that the 1JZ VVTI in the Soarer runs a 2x2 square plug, same as the Supra. I have two of these ordered for those interested! First in Best Dressed! Danny - I would say it's the same as the 1JZ VVTI - but please confirm if it's a 2x2 4 pin square plug. If so, I have 2 as mentioned - $110 delivered. All deliveries will be done via Fastway, with insurance so please, no PO Boxes. Thank You! |

| Ok Good news, I've sourced some compatible O2 sensors for the 1UZ. They are a crimp / solder on deal as I could not find one with the required plug. Easy to do and heat shink + crimp is provided. The 1UZ uses two o2 sensors. 22mm socket is required to remove and a lot of WD-40! I can do them for $70 delivered Australia wide, for the pair! I've added the GB list below - If you have a 1UZ - chances are they have never been changed lol! People have reported smoother idle, better fuel economy and freer revving with the o2 sensor change. I can organize install for both TT and V8 as required - let me know if you're interested. Updated List: SOARER 1JZGTE non VVTI ROUND 1: 1. Costa Tsimiklis - PAID 2. Alistair Moorby - PAID 3.

| Cheers guys! Since we all want our cars to be healthy and running right all the time, I've noticed that on my own Soarer's and Supra's that the coil pack plugs are all but disintegrated inside - causing intermittent faults and issues with combustion! I'll be doing a group buy for a refitting kit that will allow you to solder on new plugs so you can have 100% reliable coil pack power again - just like factory. 4 out of 6 of the plugs on my supra were disintegrated inside with the terminals almost touching each other when plugged into the coil! This would be the primary reason why people are blowing up igniters and getting left stranded in the streets waiting for an expensive tow! Cost for this kit will be around $55 delivered with solder shrink connections and $50 with bare wires or normal crimp on connections. More innovative products to come as I love my Soarer and Supra and it's a shame that Japan has almost given up on these cars given their age. |

| Marlon, please let me know your delivery address - I can't seem to find that email but I have got your payment Cameron, - please pay for your sensor so you can get it asap I've sent you an email with further instructions. Round 2 Participants - feel free to pay sooner rather than later so I can organize everything in advance. Please email me your payment receipt and address details for delivery. Note: All dispatches include $1000 worth of insurance. Please open the goods at the time of delivery and make sure you have the sensor intact. The only thing I can imagine happening to it is if a forklift ran over it - so if it's squashed like a pancake or broken in half - reject the item immediately and ask to claim insurance and then contact me! I don't think that anyone will have an issue, but since insurance is included, the above had to be mentioned All sensors were perfect upon dispatch. Cheers |

| Has anyone installed these yet? Mine doesn't fit. Plug fits fine and bolts line up but I can only insert it halfway. Looks a bit smaller than my old one as well. The bit that gets wider is what's stopping mine from going in. 1992 TT stock dump pipe. |
