Have you checked www.rockauto.com ? I have bought many from the Rock. I see Rock has up stream NTK/NGKs for $48.79.

Also, if I'm in a hurry I will pickup an NTK/NGK from advanceauto.com and use the TRT30 coupon code and specify store pickup so you don't have to pay shipping.

I just checked www.advanceauto.com and applied the TRT30 code. It brought the price down to $53.89. The NTK/NGK brand is about as good as it gets for our cars.

I usually replace O2 sensors in sets (like both upstreams) to give both banks full benefit -- that is unless you recently replaced one already.

As soon as I buy a used Maxima with say ~150,000 miles, I usually replace the O2 sensors the within the first month. I'll immediately notice better pep and responsiveness with a little better MPG around town.

I usually get my parts through Amazon.com. The cheapest choices they have come without the connector ends. You will need to splice your ends onto them. I recall paying abour 40 dollars each. I have no clue what imprt fees would be in Canada. Do Canadians have a company that has internet-based discount parts? It might be worth looking into to see what they might have.

Bosch is NOT OEM. NGK/NTK is. Bosch does not work well in our cars according to many accounts from members here.

The last O2 sensor I replaced had both a Nissan and NTK stamp on it.

I'm having issues with my max and its calling for the front o2 so I figured I'd just replace both found some one Amazon for about $40 shipped so I sad that's the deal gonna get them, go out to the store and this "Certified Nissan Tech" hears the issue I was having saunters over and tells me (think boomhaure) "Yep souns to me like yew need o2 sensor". We converse for a few and tells me that the o2 from a 97 pathfinder would work and that all I'd have to do is mod the wires.<-wtf um OK all you real Nissan Tech's out there is this true or is what I believe true... 2 DIFFERENT CARS 2 DIFFERENT SENSORS. WFT even my girl was like um babe aren't those two different cars. Score. He says he has two and I can get them for 15 a piece I pull it. Um $30 and I'm good of course I'm on it but not without consulting with the org. Thx


To the op sorry didn't mean to slice your post.

Cali spec has 2 upstream and 2 (1 each) after the pre cats. The non Cali spec 4th gens only have one downstream mounted on the main cat.

I just replaced all 3 O2 sensors in my I30 last month. They were the originals and Mother Bears to get out. The plastic plugs crumbled from the engine heat with 133K on them. They were stamped Bosch and that's what I replaced them with. So far no problems. The car is running fabulously. I'm happy. The were about $35 each.

I used an NTK O2 sensor from rockauto on my 1996. It was well priced and works great.
