results= if your car is running lean, sluggish, wanting to stall or lacking power. change the o2 sensor. it may not look damaged but looks can be decieving, besides is ruining the mixture and possibly the engine worth $89?!?! i used a EL falcon sensor. it is a direct replacement with same circuit and 3 wire setup. simply crimp the similar wires up.

hi. i only have a narrow band afr gauge, but it still gives good warning. used to beat any mildly modded car out there of equal size. now.... dead :*(

after 1-2 hrs of driving the car will lean out. the only time that it actually moves from its dormant position is when the clutch is in, or when i let off the accellerator. now it hasnt happened for a long time since ive upgraded from 95ron to 98 ron. the car feels sluggish, lacking power and little response.

r33 gtst.

engine mods= 3" exhaust

no cat

shielded/boxed pod with cai

nismo fpr

bosch 040, with dedicated earth and power, to get full 12v

fmic with water spray

boost controller. at time of incident was set to 8PSI

i will be resetting the ecu tomorro. also i will be tinkering with the fuel pressure. what is the MAX pressure that the injectors can handle, and do i measure the reading at idle?

thanks in advance

i hope with your help, i get it back to the piece of pride and joy that it used to be. CHEERS GUYS :rofl:

Edited by r33cruiser

fuel pressure at idle should be 35-40psi i think.

it wouldn't do you any good playing with the fuel pressure with the std ecu anyway

im gonna take a stab at the fuel pump being the culprit. since it only happens after a couple of hours the pumps probably getting hotter and not working properly.

Theres been a few threads about the 040's going bad when it gets hot.

T04gtr had a thread about it and im pretty sure cubes and guilt-toy had one along the same lines too.

it pops a bit in between gears. but it only coughs and splutters when u are rolling. eg when reverse parking etc.

if that is the fuel pump......makes sense. will have to have a look. the thing is IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED since i started using 98octane fuel?

anyway i will recheck all the usual culprits....fmic piping, connections, etc.

if all else fails will just borrow a mates 02 sensor and see what happens

thanks for the help guys.

most mechanics are like, r33 wtf is that?

Edited by r33cruiser

not audibly. but the lean warning went off, so i took it easy.

anyway guys i adjusted my fuel prs to 40psi at idle. it was originally at about 28psi. will take it for a run and see how it goes

hey guys.. replaced my o2 sensor and it is all sweet. must have been that. replaced it with an el falcon o2 sensor.

thanks to the guys who helped me, and a shout out to sunnycoast for explaining how a new o2 sensor helped him.

for u guys. here is the pics of the old sensor.

was in pretty bad shape. any skyline owners nightmare

95ron before. starting using 98 about 3 months ago.

thanks again to all the ppl that had suggestions :nyaanyaa:

results from new sensor= actually can run rich, or to my liking. does not run lean anymore. car pulls and pulls and pulls, more responsive. i havent noticed more efficiency, but it may be my fuel pressure tho. car is smooth, does not stall, shudder or pop/die off on idle or gear changes :w00t:

lol, admin u can close the thread now if u want

hey mate,

you serious about this? i got same problem... runs lean as!!

pops when changing gears, surges/ spulters to make power and fuel gets used quick!! does it after a while of driving... and yeah i got a new bosch 040 fitted aswell!

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
