I know the first pic is the line that goes to the standard boost gauge sender on the firewall (little black box about the size if a pack of matches). Cant help you with the other one though.

edit, Dirtgarage beat me to it!!

the plug may go into your oil pressure sensor,

look at your photo, you can see the yellow thing with a boot on it, pull the boot off an see if its pluged in

nah oil pressure sensor has two spade terminals in a T shape

that little plug is green on the inside right? it doesn't connect to anything lol I'm sure nissan thought it had a job but we've never had it plugged in. hicas solenoid maybe?

yeah that is the sensor wire for the de-fragilator that nissan engineers were unable to obtain clearance to fit to the vehicle. So yeah if the wheel speed sensor is plugged in, it remains unplugged.

wierd toyota engineers found space for that in the 2jze engine bay?

it wasnt a clearance as in fit issue, the inventor, a fella by the name of John Victor Pritchard would not allow its use as Nissan were tight asses and would not pay the required sum to him due to it being a patented item. So Mr Pritchard would not submit the required paperwork to Japanese government to give Nissan "clearance" to use it. Toyota was happy to pay the money as they knew the enhancement it would make to their vehicles was worth more than the patent fee outlay.

what is a defragilator? can i get one for my car?

if you PM Benm and ask him, he knows more about it and may be able to fully explain its function. Bit of a secret science like the Peter Brock "energy polariser".

but i believe it sensors harmonic vibration in the engine and alters ignition timing to reduce the vibration through the crankshaft. I believe this is the very reason oil pumps in these cars are so fragile. Hence the name de-fragilator.

I heard they only used these on VVT-i versions of the 2JZ - they're not that common but if you know a decent importer they should be able to track one down. You need a matched pair of modules though. It's only one wire that you need to run on the 2J but it links to a PAIR of modules. Don't think you can just buy one from one car and one from another because they wont work together.

Also, it is used to help with unwanted engine harmonics as has been suggested above.

correct...but the Toyota versions are a square wave output and the Nissan ecu uses a linear 0-5v so they cannot be interchangeable between makes of car....bummer.

we are looking to develop an intermediate box to alter the square wave output of the Toyota version to a 0-5v signal so it can be used on the Nissan. Once we get it right we will be looking to run a group buy on these, but they are only compatable with R32 and R33 series ecu's.

Are you doubting my abilities 2rismo?

Not at all, Ben. It's just that I know of a couple of people that have tried to get it working and for the hours invested haven't seen much of a return. Like I said, I'm down for one if you can do it. Good luck to you.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
