hey guys, just bumping for a quick question which others may also find useful.

could I do this procedure if my 33 is running the Apexi Power FC?

My ABS dash light has been on ever since I bought the car!

I'm guessing that for non Power FC related functions it's probably work, I wouldn't go trying it though. Esp the ecu reset, might muck up... something lol.

so once u clear the codes it should flash 5 & 5

Yep yep, 55 means all is good.

ive got a code 54 in my r34 n/a 5 speed how do i fix it when my cars manual?? ive been searching all day

Might be worth referring to your specific car's manual. Was it manual from factory? If you're just referring to the first post in this thread, could A/T mean anything different?

Eep, after reading this forum post, i downloaded ecutalk, bought the ecutalk usb consult cable(which was absolutely for dummies to setup), unfortunately my fault code got wiped when we installed the stereo, so i had to wait for it.

now its back! its a Code 33, O2S1 (0 starts), all i can figure it would be, is my o2 sensor is ballzup, so i went for a leisurely cruise, and noticed something odd, my o2 sensor voltage starts at.3v and slowly drops to .13v, it occasionally jumps back up to about .15 .16v then just hovers back at .13, is that unusual? i thought it should be jumping around a little in readings, like when i floor it, or granny it around teh burbs.

anyone who has had this error and has a good fix any advice? or should i just yank out the o2 sensor, and drop in an ntk replacement?

i just got the same error 33. did you figure out what to do?

Same- i got the same error - reset it so its not there no and the check engine light has stopped lighting for now.. will go around the block to test later tonight

but anyone with a fix could share his/her experiences pls :D

Just to note, it seems the error codes flash in a slow/fast combination to help distinguish between each sequential code. At least they do for me on a '99 S2 Stagea (RB25DET Neo).

An example of my case:

2 slow, 1 fast (although I couldn't really detect it was fast because there was only one flash)

3 slow, 3 fast

its a Code 33, O2S1 (0 starts)...

I'm getting the same error:

33 - Heated Oxygen Sensor

Did any of you folks figure out the cause for this?

Is it just a matter of replacing the HeatedO2 sensor?

This would match up with some of the symptoms I am experiencing:

Fuel vapour from exhaust under acceleration

Very high fuel usage: 18-19L/100km.

HO2S Heater Control Circuit

What does this mean?

OBD Code P0030refers to

Oxygen Sensors (O2S) or Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) need to reach a minimum operating temperature of 750 degrees F to produce an accurate voltage signal. The faster the heated oxygen sensor reaches that temperature the faster the sensor will start sending an accurate signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). In order to achieve the require temperature, a heater element is included inside the heated oxygen sensor. The ECM controls the heated oxygen sensor heater element based on signals from the engine coolant temperature and engine load. The ECM controls the heater element circuit by allowing current flow to ground. The ECM monitors the voltage signal received through the heater element circuit and determines the state of the circuit by comparing the voltage detected with the factory specifications.

Symptoms

Possible sumptoms of OBD code P0030

- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) - Engine may be running rich - Fuel vapour from Exhaust - Low MPG

Causes

Possible causes of OBD code P0030

- Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit open shorted to ground - Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit poor electrical connection - Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit - Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 1 circuit fuse - Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) The Error code is generally activated on detection of the following conditions: The P0030 is set when the ECM detects an open or shorted to ground condition on the heated oxygen sensor heater circuit

Possible Solutions

The code means that there is a problem with the heater element circuit of the heated oxygen sensor. Water getting inside the heated oxygen sensor connector can caused the heated oxygen sensor fuse to blow, which is a very common problem for this type codes. Before replacing the sensor, check for the condition of the heated oxygen sensor fuse and connectors. HO2S Heater Control Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1 is the generic definition for the P0030; however your vehicle's manufacturer may have a different definition and information for the P0030 code.

I'm replacing the coil packs for this with YellowJackets from PerformanceWise. Will see if that fixes the issue for .

Hi i've got an R33, and i've read and done what's been written here but my ECU is showing 55 so no faults, but the car is running like a bag of s--t when i accelerate, i suspect it could be the coil packs, but it's an expensive guess if i'm wrong,

any ideas to help me please.

Robbo.

try changing the spark plugs (if you don't know how old they are), or if they aren't that old, try reducing the gap. if this helps with the issue a bit then you know it's the coils

Thanks, yeh i changed the plugs tonight, and it's a lot better but it still feels like it's missing/holding back when at about 5000 revs,

I cleaned the old plugs last week but they were black when i took them out tonight.

So it's looking like the coils.

Cheers Robbo.

if they were black then it may be that the coils are a bit weak, but it may be that it is running a bit rich. might be worth getting a dyno run done first (certainly cheaper than new coils)

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
