Have had the GTR for a week and installed a Mines turbo back exhaust yesterday. After a short period and a little bit of thrashing the engine warning light came on. Has anybody experienced this? Is it just a matter of Nissan doing a computer reset?

Any help would be appreciated.

Evils,

If you have the turbo back downpipes installed what did you do re the O2 sensors? I believe that you will get the check engine light unless you install an O2 simulator or alternatively run a custom program on a Cobb accessport which can stop the check engine light from coming on:

Slip.

This information is correct. We still haven't tried the o2 extension bung yet, but we have done the custom AccessPORT tune and it will keep the check engine light off.

igot an mechanic and auto electician to look at mine, they both said its nothing! so the electrician just turned off the engine light on the bak of my dash! dodge but effective...

I had the same issue with those pesky seatbelt, handbrake and air bag lights....I just cut the wires...no more issues. :D

I would say get the real fix and get the light turned back on....just in case.

Cheers

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
