Hi

My car is r33 GTS4 NON-TURBO, though I have a Apexi pen style turbo timer with O2 sensor reading, which shows 2.80 and keep changing all the time. The maximum reading I have seen is 2.80.

whats the normal reading should be?

Should it be on one value without changing?

if this si problem from where can I buy a o2 sensor?

I have no Idea where to find the o2 sensor in my car, a little hel please...

Cheers

Chinthana

Maybe it has something to do with the lack of a turbo..?

o2 sensor can be bought from an SAu trader (kudosmotorsports, or Michael Sullivan). NTK one for about $120ish.

an o2 sensor basically measures the air/fuel mixtures from exhaust gases.

the sensor is located on the exhaust manifold/headers/extractors... (see attached pic for a rough idea on where to look in your engine bay). takes about 5 minutes to change, and is a piece of cake.post-9983-1173089657.jpg

not sure on how apexi get their readings, but if you're running rich or lean then it should be quite obvious. nothing a retune/dyno time can't fix.

Thanks for that, Ill have alook in my car tomorrow. maybe clean it up a bit and see. So in my understanding, O2 sensor doesnt effect the performance of the car? I will be doing a tuneup maybe a dyno soon. but that not going to change anything . as long as this is not something i should consider, im happy.

no.. the o2 sensor does affect performance!!

it tells the ecu how much fuel and air to put in when you put your foot down.

How do I know my o2 sensor is stuffed or not. at the moment my car doesnt have much power at all, last week did a servise with oil change and spak plugs to NGK irridium. cant feel any difference though. I have a Apexi SAFC as well, dont know how to tune it. my be chnaging the o2 sensor and tuning the safs might help?

let your car run and take a quick smell of the exhaust gases, and if it smells really fuel'y (basically like when you're at the petrol station) it's probably running rich. hard to describe...

if you have an SAFC in with the standard maps, then you aren't running at ideal mixtures.

Changing the O2 sensor and SAFC tune is a must.

o2 sensors would generally need to be changed considering most skylines are most probably nearing 80,000-100,000km.

Smell is not really fuel's, probably car is not tuned properly, when you say tuning the safs actually what they do? is it hard to do? i went to a place and they said it will cost $500 just to tune it....

any help? (Imnot sure about when you say "Standerd maps" i can write down the values wich I can see in the safs if it helps)

having it tuned will fine tune the air and fuel mixtures for optimal settings.

$500 including dyno time is about right.

writing down the values won't mean anything... each car is different

no one can really help you... it sounds like you lack alot of the basic fundamentals in how an ecu/piggyback management works.

just get it tuned... it's not doing anything just sitting there. simple as that.

Yeah I get it, thanks for the advise , will let you know how it goes after tuneup...

Checked with NGK for an o2 sensor, they have o2 sensor for 33 RB25DET engine, not for RB25DE which is my one:(,,,,,so there much difference when it comes to oxy sensor between trubo and non turbo? if not then I can buy the one for RB25DET and fit it in to my RB25DE car (r33 GTS4) please advise.

When are you looking at it? When the motor is cold?

I bought a genuine nissan o2 sensor. When cold it reads 3.98v then within a km or 2 it slowly drops down to the 0.20-0.9v and begins cycling back and forth as it should. It begins cycling once the engine temp reaches over 40degree's.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
