grrrrrrrrrrrr

the guy from VDO emailed again, and even with the nissan part number that i gave, he still says there is no VDO item!

I gave him the part number that was in the aus300zx.com website to see if he has that in his stupid computer. i have no idea why its not coming up as a listing...

will keep you posted.

ok more bad news..

the moron at VDO who is emailing me, still insists they don't have a OPS for us

he won't confirm that the 300zx sender works at all.. he is dodging the question coz he is a f**king moron

i'll have to do some more searching i think

is it 100% confirmed that its the same sensor for 300zx/R32/R33??

what about any other nissans

thanks

Just some observations that might help:

1. Genuine OPS from Nissan is around $150 (trade....add maybe $20 for retail).

2. OPS PN is 25070-30P01 (R32 GTR and GTS4, R33 RB25DET and Z32 300ZX). FAST does show an alternate number for some models (25070-55S60), but it also shows the -30P01 as the direct alternative.

3. The VDO OPS shown on the 300ZX link looks identical to the type fitted to local spec R31 Skylines (RB30) as standard. VDO supplied some parts for Oz spec R31's, inc the instrument cluster and some other sensors, basically to build up local content. Be warned that quality is not great.

well spokt to some people who have done this on their 300zx, and they have confimed that te unit does work fine, but still suffers from the same problem as the stock OPS

this leads me to believe that the problem is not the OPS unit itself, but something aboutthe way it is mounted or connected

there's nothing wrong with the stock OPS...

the only thing wrong with them is the fact that they're getting close to 15 years old and as such, are f**ked.

what happens is the rubber seal around them fails, and lets oil inside the unit itself.

from what i've heard, if you replace it with another factory one (or in this case a VDO one) it should be fine for another 15 years.

*note* this is what i've been told in terms of why they play up etc

well i have spoken to a good mate who is a member of aus300zx.com

he said he changed to the VDO sensor and it failed in 4 months

then he changed to the stock sensor and it has been ok for about 6 months so far

BUT.. he did some kind of electrical modification to the OPS before he putit back on

apparently (according to him) there's 2 plugs on the OPS, but the stock wire only connects to one of them

He grounded the other plug to the chassis... and he hasn't had a problem since...

apparently an autoelectrician told him to do this

I want to try it out, but haven't had time to try and get to the OPS

Hardcore thread bump.

Has any one used an aftermarket oil pressure sender to replace the factory unit?

I want to wire in an aftermarket oil pressure sender into the Vipec as a fail safe (if it sees less than 5psi to shut the engine down) but want to do it with a new oil pressure sender as my stock one acts up.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
