Hi there.

Im having a bit of trouble with AF values all over the place. one day its fine, later its really lean, later again its fine. sometimes my AF gauge show somethinig, sometimes it dont. :S

Have a LM1, so do know my actual AF.

All this are a idle or cruising, when flooring it, or disengaging AF feedback in my PFC its okay... So figured it could be my O2 sensor.

Had a spare, so changed it.

Checked in my PFC, it shows ~0.12v at idle constant.. only changing a little up and down. ~0.05v.

When i started my car, it was up around 0.6v, then steadly lower, still being a little up and down. ~0.6 - 0.3v. then after some minuttes it settled at ~0.12v. ~14.7 A/F on the LM1.

What do you recon is the issue. some kind of wiring issue? because of funny way AF gauge is acting, it reads the signal from std o2 sensor... LM1 has its own sensor.

What to check?

What kind of power goes to the std o2 sensor? can I check at the plug?

Have searched around, but can´t find a answer.

Thanks.

When in closed loop mode the reading from the o2 sensor should fluctuate wildly as the ECU keeps slightly richening then leaning the mixtures to get as close as possible to stoichiometric. Narrowband o2 sensors really only have two states - rich and lean - which result in two very different voltages. As the mixture flicks between rich and lean the voltage jumps up and down. Your LM1 will have a wideband sensor in which richness/leanness is proportional to voltage, so you can get a value out of it. My guess is that the spare you put in was stuffed (was it new?).

There is a long thread in the General Maintenance on o2 sensors. Get a six pack and wade your way through it....

the narrowband o2 sensor is the std rb25 sensor...

was there when I bought the engine. ;-) hehe.

But have tryed changing o2 sensor, and still the same reading...

Will have a look on my wiring when I get the time.

I use the LM1 hooked up to my FC box to log and adjust.

just checked my wiring, as stated in r33 workshop manual.

o2 sensor diagram, and checks to do are okay.

exhaust gas heater check is also okay...

What is the difference in theese 2 by the way?? did both tests at the same o2 plug....

Have tryed 2 different o2 sensors, the one I got with the engine, and the one I got from a spare engine I bought.

Could they both be dead? Its a little expensive to try and buy a new one.... and dont know anyone with a R33 here in denmark.

    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
    • Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
