I have an O2 Sensor from a RB30, and there are 3 wires... here is the problem :

What are the wires for?

1x Yellow Wire

1x Black Wire

1x Red Wire

Black and red and not power wires are they... this is standard + / - stuff, but I wouldn't think that the sensor would require external power?

Is the Yellow wire the signal wire, and the other 2 heater wires?

What is the Yellow Wire for... any help would be V. handy !

Thanks guys... I await speedy reply's

1) Get a multi meter

2) When you cross 2 of the wires you should get a reading of 10ohm or less... these are the heater wires

3) When you cross the 3rd wire with anything else... it should read 'open circuit'... this 3rd wire is the signal / sensor wire !

just F.Y.I ... Thanks Bozz !

red is power for the internal heater

black is ground (other end of heater)

yellow is interesting. aftermarket? the ones i've seen are white but would be the actual probe which returns 0-1v depending how much exhaust gas is passing past.

note that O2 sensors are matched to different ECUs and the stoich curves may be different (ie an RB30 O2 may have a more narrow curve than the RB25 ECU is programmed for)

I have the ca18det and the plug goes. black white red (left to right) on the other side of the plug the black goes to a blue, white to grey and the red goes to a grey with a white trace.

So what im trying to figure out is which one is the signal. the instructions say that its not polairty dependant for the heater wires. the replacement has 2 black and 1 blue. (universal 3 wire)

If you want to know the difference between the different types of O2 sensors, try this link: (about half way down the page)

http://www.ngkspark.com.au/tech_info_oxyge...nsors_index.htm

Also, the current NGK Spark plug & O2 sensor catalogue has detailed information on these including pics of the different plugs - great for matching up an alternative to that expensive OE Nissan sensor!

Should'a just called me to begin with :rofl:

BTW can I borrow your car for a few hours one of these days, need to swap bits to find a fault...

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By eli995 · Posted

      (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)

      This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.

      I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system

      I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.

      As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
