On my 32 gtst this light keeps commin on (see pic below) the owners manual doesnt say what it is, just names it 'Exhaust Gas Temperature Warning Light' and says if it continues to stay on contact a nissan service dealer! Obviously it has something to do with the tempertaure of the exhaust, just wondering if anyone knew anything about it? I have stcok exhuast! Any help would be great!!!

Cheers,

Tyson

Maybe there's something wrong with your catalytic converter?

Or the sensor isnt even plugged in?

(the sensor will be plugged in to a spot halfway along the exhaust)

Maybe get under there and have a look :pirate:

From my knowledge your O2 sensors are only on the dump pipes. Could be a third. That light does work in conjunction with the diagnotics LED on the side of the ECU so could be something to do with that. Altho it usually flashes when your in diagnostics..

The manual has answered your question. (when I went to school, "naming" something and "saying what it is" were synonymous).

It is a warning light. It means something is wrong. It even recommends what you should do - see your local Nissan dealer.

It comes about when the temperature of the exhaust gasses passing through the catalytic converter (nothing at all to do with O2 limits and closed loop operation!) reaches a certain limit (measured by a thermocouple in the converter's body). It is possible that the engine is beginning to run too lean (maybe due to dying fuel pump), or maybe the cat is collapsing and blocking the exhaust.

Go see a Nissan dealer and get it sussed out.

Do you have a Power FC?

Theres an option in the Power FC commander that has been turned on/off (I can't read Japanese) so it thinks there a problem-o.

No real conclusion when I had it, so I forgot which option it was

was just thinkin and i did make an adjustment to my idle over the weekend and did do some fine adjusting on the idle screw on the side of the ecu! Dont know much about ECU diagnostics but isnt the first mode an exhaust tempertaure mode or somethign like that? Does anybody have any knowledge in regards to that?

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
