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:

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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
