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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
