i AM IN THE PROCES OF BUIDLING A jAYCAR KIT, THAT USES A NEW CHIP TO (oops caps) show your AFR using a narow band sensor. works on an input voltage of 0 to 1V, which is fine. It does not show exact number say 12.4 to 1, but it simply indicates that you are a bit or a lot lean form stoick and so forth. It is not used for tuning, but more to ensure you are not lean or too ritch, a guide more or less.

If you are buying a guage, make sure it has 0-1V inputs for narow band, or get a new wideband sensor $300 and use a 1-5V output.

This is for a GTST, not sure what value the GTRs have for their nerow band sensors.

Thanks wogsrus.

Anyone else got anything to add? I am surprised that there isnt more interest in this topic as Air Fuel ratio is one of the most important factors in tuning your car right, and also keeping your car running!

you are correct, but in order to get an accurate reading you need a wideband sensor, thes are $300, and some require a controller for the signal. There is a Oz mob that doa whole package for about $400, sensor, controller, display and so forth, can plug it thourgh your laptop and so forth, but a narowband sensor will gove you a simple indication if you are lean or ritch, that's about all.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
