You know which plug it is ??

Ive got the workshop manual , looked 2nite for ages but couldnt find it anywhere !! :P

do it in the garage before you start the car. you dont have to wait for 20 mins before you do it.

we all wanna know how it goes! :)

you dont need to take them out...just unplug their electrical plugs and go for a drive

have a look at your 2 dump pipes. there should be what looks like a sparkplug, sticking out of each pipe. this is the o2 sensor.

now, off this sensor there are wires that lead to a plug. unclip the plug and the o2 sensor is disabled. yay!

Ok ive unplugged those 2 cables (ive attached a pic too just to make sure they were the correct ones)

Drove the car for about 20 mins and it seemed fine, going to take it out later 2nite for a longer spin to see what happens so im not 100% sure its fixed the problem. Ill post again when i get home.

Just say it IS the o2 sensors, what damage will I do if i continue to drive with them unplugged ??

Im assuming it will just run rich and use lots of fuel and the spark plugs life will be reduced ... is this right ?? or wrong ?? :( hehe ... and yea will the motor be ok to run like this over long periods of time...

Naa still same problem as before with or without the o2 sensors plugged in :(

the o2 sensors only lean out the mixture when cruising ie constant thottle load

theyre leaning out a mixture that is already quite stoich to one that is on the lean-side that would otherwise cause detonation on higher loads. so to answer your question...it will use a little more fuel if youre doing freeway driving but not a hell of a lot more.

your plugs and everything will be fine.

depends...on fine injector openings there may only be a little bit of gunk, but just enough to obscure flow. when the injector opens a little more and for longer, then the squirt of fuel may have a clearer path through to the cylinder.

i reckon its good insurance to know that youre injectors are clean and serviced anyway rather than having to rebuild a motor cause one may eventually leak and BANG! due to starvation on boost.

Did you ever find the cause of this??

One of my GTR's has develpoed a hessitstion on cruise, I looked at it with consult today and the O2 sensors are flat lining when they should be cycling.

Strange thing is the sensors in the vehicle are only 3000Km's old and unplugging them makes no difference. I also have power and ground to the heated elements and continuity back to the ECM.

I know my vehicle needs new sensors and id suspect yours does as well. If you have access to an ossiliscope id suggest looking the at the sensors with it and see of they are cycling on cruise or not.

Yea i did ... well kinda , try taking out your 4wd fuse and take it for a spin , see if it still does it ... because mine dont when its only 2wd ... at the shops at the moment :no: ... dammit seen a few around today .. i want it baaaaack Ü

02 sensors richen the mixtures as well - under criuse condtions.

Wow just read back through all the post - man there is some misinformation here. 1 of them above the other being that cars run richer when cold as the atomisation isn't as good. Three the 02 sensor doesn't operate until about 65deg Celcius on most GTR's.

Can you descirbe the problem again please.

ok. next step.. aply a direct batery voltage to the fuel pump.

(run a wire from the batery to the fuel pump and a direct earth wire to the negative of the fuel pump aswell)

basicly to eliminate any fuel pump controler issues...wich are common

Interesting question about the air filters

Why do you ask this??

Im asuming you want to know if he as oiled filters as oposed to dry mesh types?

Mine also runs fine in 2wd but not all the time. Occasionally it gives a bit of a splutter.

I have also recently noticed the front tourqe guage goes up a little when accelerating even though its only light acceleration and the thing is not driving the front wheels.

Probably going to be a grounding issue

Is this question for me ?? :blush:

ive got a set of hks airpods ... non oil filters.

Alot of GTRs have an AFM connection problem mine is doin it now. will it hit a safe mode when driving? i had the same problem sort of too i change the fuel filter and a hose. injector clean and new plugs and regap and it still did it. heat shielded my AFM with alfoil and its good. have to do the full fix soon though started to stutter again.

mark.

02 sensors richen the mixtures as well - under criuse condtions.

dont they just 'switch off' so to speak , once an unsuitable load is detected to run a leaner mixture safely ?

anyway, i unplugged my 0xy sensors and it fixed my hesitation.

rob: i didnt think it was too far off the mark re: cold mixture. granted the exhaust gases wouldnt be overly richer, but fuel maps enrichen with cold water temps..dont they?

i think i got the same problem when i warms up wont boost past 10psi and can hear the bovs going nuts, dose this happen to u guys causing its really pissing me off, but if i turn the car off for bout 10 secs its fine again.. is this the same problem?

similar problem yes.

Do me a favour and check your ambient temp on the climate control.

When my car plays up the ambient temp is WAY higher than the real temperature. I mean it reads 32 degrees on a 10 degree night!!

Points towards a grounding problem to me.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
