Thats the drivers side. Maybe because there is more pressure in bank two due to the return flow regulator being on that side (I think it is)?

Thats my 2c!

But that would not explane why it threw up the fault code would it?

There is only one O2 sensor on the turbo, bank one. It is seeing a lean condition and can't add enough fuel to compensate.

If the o2 sensor was buggered it could cause this along with bad fuel economy, it needs to be checked for oscillation, otherwise you should do as Cam mentioned and check the filter and fuel pump.

After doing some googling some other things that popped up with this code were:

MAF, vac leak, PCV and the fuel filter as Cam said.

Scotty:

Fuel economy has been ok, well as good an an M35 can be. Have not seen a spike as such.

When you mention the O2 sensor do you mean the one on the dump yes? If it was this would it not effect both banks not just throw up an error on bank 1?

FYI: The issue came about from normal driving conditions in peak hour, not giving it much stick at all. When I got home I checked the fault code and then cleared it, ran the car for 5-10 min and it has yet to come backl.

Cheers.

There is only one o2 sensor (the one in the dump), bank one is it's name. The 3.5's have bank one and two as they run twin o2 sensors. If it doesn't come back you may be fine.

O2 sensors only have an 80,000k life so there is a good chance it needs changing anyway.

Genuine.

Have the books and also the de-reg papers that show the kms every time it was serviced and everytime it was registered. When I received it the kms were only at 29XXX.

Yeah I paid a bit more for it but got a very clean car, inside and out. I have seen other M35's, most other M35's I have seen have very dirty under carriage and engine bays. This is so clean you could eat off any surface, the previous owner must of only drove it once in a blue moon.

Cool, good to hear. Mine had genuine 59k on it with de reg paper and also was very clean under the car and engine bay. Only problem I found was a chocolate milk stain on the back seat from kids. When I removed the rear seat I found little girls hair clips and collector cards, so was deffinately the family wagon.

Hi everyone

a +38 offset will sit inside an ARX more? 18x8

if will, can I run bolt on spaces to make it sit flash?

The spacers you buy will have to be custom if the wheels you are fitting are stock. This is due to the hub centering ring on the hub and groove in the wheel being the same. Normally when running a bolt on spacer you are using aftermarket wheels which have a larger bore and that's what off the shelf spacers centering hub on the wheel side will allow for.

Hope that makes sence...

Actually, most of the off the shelf spacers will have both hub centering bore/rings the same size.

If you go different hub bore size on new wheels; it's normally up to you.

The thinnest custom spacer I've ever machined for a Nissan with hub centering rings on the outside, and matching bores on the inside is 8mm; anything below that, and the centering ring on the outside has no material behind it.

I've never seen an off the shelf spacer with centering bore/rings thinner than 10mm, so Rafael should be ok.

Could you please point me in the direction of these as most places I've been to in Adelaide only stock ones with a 66.1 inner but a 73.1 or other outer meaning you can't space out stock wheels.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
