Question AFR Gauge in a R32?

Hi guys

Have had a read at AFR / Lambda Sensor Question.

Comments there point to the Skyline having a narrowband 02 sensor. Just want to confirm that this is the case. The comments at that link don't specify if the car is an r32, r33 or r34.

I am thinking of fitting an AFR Gauge, and understand that this is possible with a narrowband sensor, but not possible with a wideband sensor.

Is this possible and/or advisable on an R32?

Context
Also planning on installing an HKS FCON fuel computer because i need to remap the fuel settings. Have access to only 95 RON here in South Africa, and car is presently mapped to 100+. Planning on remapping to about 99RON and using octane boosters and methanol injection in order to get some suitable fuel.

Any comments?

RAS

Narrow band sensors are useless for tuning any performance car unless you are interested in tuning for max fuel economy off boost.

Try a wideband such as these :-

You will just need to fit the extra sensor into the exhaust.

Note all decent rolling roads will tune using a wideband lambda sensor and modern high value cars are fitted with both wideband and narrow band sensors from the factory.
