o2 Sensor, will this fit?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/O2-OX...spagenameZWD1V

On my Nissan Maxima 3.0l SE 1989 mod. (VG30E). ? And is it easy to replace?

Or can I get this cheaper?

My local nissan dealership wanted 250$ for one.. :P

the shape looks about right, but the wires looks somewhat off a bit. IMO, you can go to pepboys and buy a BOSCH O2 sensor for 100 bucks, and since nissan uses BOSCH O2 sensor originally, the O2 sensor bought from pepboys can be considered "dealership" quality.

Does this look better?

Im trying to cut my budget down a little, and I don't mind splicing the cables, the car is running on its last voyage anyways :P

Or I can go with something like this:



And just splice it?

the wires are exactly right for an 89
Bosch is NOT the manufacturer of the o2 for the third gen, NTK is.
I sell the NTK for $60 (90-94)
89 has been largely discontinued, but one for 90-94 can be modified to work VERY easily.

I think I will go for the first one then Hopefully I can ask the seller to label it for under 30$ and avoid Norwegian custom

Its located on the y-pipe if im not mistaken? Should be a matter of twist and screw out, connect the harness/wirethingy?
