hey there, just wondering if anybody can help me out ?? i have a series 2 rs4. Once the car reaches operating temp on my way to work, the malfunction light comes on, i give it a rev and the light goes off and stays off, approx 45 km's to work. Very rarely does this happen on the way home in arvo.. nissan checked the code and told me most likely a coil fault. Since then i have fitted splitfires and new sparkplugs but still no difference. The car seems to be running fine and i can't notice any misfiring ?? any ideas would be much appreciated !! THANX

I have access to Nissan Data Scan and live nearby. If you're interested we can plug it in & see what comes up after a datalog.

This sounds great BensDR30, can you explain how the data loggin works ?? i am only new to imports as i have spent my years on old skool v8's..

i had the same thing as you, check engine light flash up, give it a little rev and it would go away. when i checked the error codes it was the O2 sensor. but i would have thought nissan would have been able to give you a better idea of what it was when the checked the error codes. the error codes remain on the error code list until you reset them.

Yeah, thats why i took it to nissan, but they admitted the had never worked on a stagea and didn't have any code lists to use as a reference... they somehow came up with a coil fault though ??? how would i change the 02 sensor ?? is there only one ??

i wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it is the O2 sensor, i was just saying that i had the same thing with the light flashing up and going away with a rev.

i'd see if someone on here that lives close to you has the consult/datascan software can check you error codes for you, or do the error code thing yourself by bridging the two pins on the consult plug. or just go back to nissan and get them to check the codes.

see what the problem is before spending anymore money replacing parts that may not have anything to do with the problem.

The O2 sensor is located just behind the turbo. It's not a big job, 22mm open-ender (or vise grips) to get the original one out. That bit can take a while, but fitting a new one is only a 5-minute job. There are threads detailing the replacement, but it's a pretty simple task.

No worries, i have just read that nissan reccomends o2 sensors are replaced every 40,000km's anyway, so i will change the sensor and see how i go...

thanx heaps for the help guys, will post the result...

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
