So who has used them, and how are they holding up? I'd rather get one of these at half the price of OEM unless they're going to crap out on me fast. Thanks.

I ordered the Bosch OEM types a year ago - 20k later - they are running fine. Bosch is the OEM for the sensors you can buy (02) directly from Nissan.

I need the rear, so bosch isn't an option for some reason. How are the walker ones?

I haven't used the walker ones - but I have read other threads where other members have reported good results with those too.

Go to partsamerica.com - If I remember correctly they have a Bosch listed for the rear for my 96.

You sure do have alot of parts sites committed to memory. Thanks for all your help. Looks like that ones bosch's are like $100 anyway so I'll probably go with the walker.

I've ordered numerous sensors from oxygensensors.com and don't have any complaints. I have only ordered the Walker OEM replacements and they're holding up just fine.

I would recommend the same as THT (^^^)... I typically use a few parts sites over and over again.... ... glad I'm able to share what I've found with others...

Cheers.

Have you ever replaced that sensor before? Let us know how it goes - I'm sure its on there nice and snug from all those years of driving and winter salt/rust. The front ones came off pretty easily on mine - haven't had to do the rear one yet. I've read that others have had good success by getting the car hot and then soaking the sensor overnight in PB blaster or similar penetrant.

Yeah I bet it'll be a b!tch. I think I'll just have the exhaust shop do it while they are doing my custom b-pipe and muffler (probably 5th gen).

I only had problems w/the sensor towrds the front of the car cuz the angle was weird. After 10min, I gave up, sprayed with wd30, came back in 15min and it was almost finger loose. Scary!
