hi i just installed a auto meter air fuel ratio gauge straight from ecu wire pin out 29...anyway its very eratic i wound the boost up tp 10 and i get a missfire under boost and a/f gauge says car is leaning out like even at idle it even drops completetly off the gauge on the l;ean side..gauge faulty? its hardly ever in green basically stock r33 gtst s1 fmic exhaust..pod....

eratic gauge

what u think gauge rooted wrong wiring?

missfie

boost ? pugs gapped wrong?

plugs farked? coil packs

its not r&r :miner:

vacuum leak i dunno its driving me crazy...cars fine on standard boost dosent miss a beat under 10pound boost missfire quite a bit

the air fuel ratio guage is erratic as its read of the stock slow and narrow sensor. its not accurate enough to give any useful data on an af guage. if you had a wideband 02 sensor it would be spot on and accurate. you are best off either ignoring the output from the guage, change to a wideband 02 sensor or sell the guage and move on. the guage and the stock 02 sensor will never be accurate.

the misfiring could be the r&r protection being activated in the stock ecu. try at 9psi and see if happens at that pressure

at 9 it is fine not a problem....i am quite happy at 9psi

paulr33 or anyone can u recommend a wideband 02 sensor suitable 4 my needs maybe part number...cost any info plz thanks 4 helping :miner:

yeah they arent cheap and are really only useful when you can tune the fuel injection. its kinda pointless to have one in the car full time without being able to change anything. unless you have different ecu ?

like the above guys have suggested the autometer AFR guages used with standard O2 sensor are a waste of time. I'ts about as good at telling you your AFR as your stereo is.

haha

yeah i noticed that...i have a power fc comming..wanted the a/f to be sure everything went right when pfc goes in :)

thanks anyway...i will put the a/f gauge on hold...spend my little amount of money on better things...

cheers

but the guage looks cool rite?

Hay guys maybe you's can help me out as well my a/f gauge doesnt not bounce back and forth between lean and rich it just sits on stoich with about 4 lights lit up when you accelerate it might move 2 bars towards rich, but it has never bounced back and forth (like i have heard and have read its supposed to) is somthing wrong with gauge or is it normal for a 1.5 series skyline,also i have wired it up in accordance with autometers installation guide.thanks in advance.Also im not using standard computer anymore im using power fc.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
