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.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
