It's 3 sensors, 2 on the front and 1 on the rear of cat. I don't know what brand those sensors are in that website, I read in the O2 sensor GB thread that the stock cars come with Bosch sensors.

www.oxygensensors.com also have similar prices and there is a 10% discount if you say that you are with the org.

Even I need to buy but only the front ones.

I know I have seen the Bosch O2 sensors on oxygensensor.com for about 70-80 bucks. they seem to be pretty reasonable.

I bought Walkers off of oxygensensors.com. Make sure you get the oem replacement one. They're cheaper than bosch and I haven't had any problems with them.

I bought Walkers from the oxygensensor.com group buy I only replaced the front 2 since the rear doesn't have anything to do with the gas mileage and mine wasn't throwing a CEL

The third isn't needed if both fronts are working. If your rear is throwing a code just snip the wire but leave it in to plug the hole.

I paid 125 each for both FRONT when I changed my Y-pipe. GOT but they had all down and old ones didnt want to come out of the stock pipe. (not because they told me, I was there holding the pipe with my feet when they turn that metal cherry red). So they call and a local parts store about to close (5:54pm) brought 2 brand new. $250.00 ... oh well.

It would've probably been cheaper to have them put the old pipe back on and come back another day to install it (or put the new one on yourself since they alrdy did the hard work of loosening everything up ) Both front OEM Walkers came out to about $113 shipped for me

You guys are getting ripped off. You should be paying no more than what oxygensensors.com charges. They are almost always the cheapest.

Why get a rear sim when it isn't needed? 95CustomMaxima informed me that the rear is only referenced if the fronts are failing, dead or otherwise out of spec. So if you got two good ones the rear is useless. That is just weight and something else waiting to get smacked by a stray rock. I have been running without a rear o2 for 300 miles and haven't gotten a code for it. Lots of codes for the auto being gone but none for the B1S2. Acceleration feels great and I'll be finding out for sure on Saturday.

At least on the 1998 the cel wil come off without a sim or a working rear o2 sensor. This could be since OBDII was introduced in 1996.

My car is OBD-II as well as all other 4th gens(95's included). Nissan was on the ball on that part of the ECU. All 4th gens are OBD-II despite the slow data export sent to the plug. If yours threw a code when the rear was disconnected it was because the fronts are not functioning properly. There really isn't a concrete way to tell if they are tip-top even with an Auterra. I just took the one that didn't appear to be fluctauting as quickly and replaced that one. For me it was the right bank. I have no codes from the rear o2.

Thanks Broaner. I was going to get the rear one and was perplexed about the 3-wire versus 4-wire titainia description. Now I'll just get two front sensors and forget it.
