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...

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
