Both front o2 sensors the same part #?

I have a 97 max and im getting my warpspeed Y-pipe, substrate cat, and Apexi world sport cat-back put in on fri th 28. I am going to replace all of the o2 sensors and the knock sensor since my car has about 100,000 miles on it. On buyoxygensensors.com they show both front 02 sensors being the same. Is this right. Is there a different one for the left and right side?

Sorry guys, I just needed to know so I could get them delivered here by Thursday. Thanks for all the help. I will post new times, hp/tq and sound videos/mpgs when exhaust is finished. Im hoping I get 14's with ease. Previous best is 15.341 @91.83 mph. I am also replacing my knock sensor which I think is about done, should be huge difference

Also will the Denso OEM ones work just as well as the bosch ones. I heard that you should only buy ones that came from nissan, so only Bosch?

I installed Bosch (from the partsbin.com) and the car runs great...They are the same part # and was quite easy to replace...The gas mileage got slightly better ( previous O2 code) and the engine is working nice and smooth.

Actually they arent the same part numbers, but they are the same exact sensor. Basically the only difference between them is the length of wire. And yes, Denso should work fine. buy them from buyoxygensensors.com

Usually, those that bash people they don't even know by calling them certain names.... have those exact same insecurities about themselves.

We all have questions about these cars from time to time. Those who are arrogant about what they 'think' they know, are usually too arrogant to ask questions and end up screwing up more than they actually fix.

Good Luck with the oxygen sensors!

yes and no. Both are the same parts for aftermarket parts...the only difference i saw is the wire ir more longer than the other cause you will need more wire for one of them and the other one will be more short.

So where do I buy them from to get the right and left one or do I really need the extra length?

Well, it's Ok if one it too long, but it's not OK if ones too short.....you can always hide extra but you can't extend it
