I changed my 02 sensor in my r33 and my boost is up from 10psi to a bit over 11psi.

Is this normal?

Will it effect my air/fuel mixtures / tune? need to retune?

I've got a power fc, fmic, full exhaust, manual boost controller, pod, in a 95 R33 series 1 making 255rwhp

I dont have a hand controller for the power fc.

I take the car to track days/skid pans so i wanna keep it reliable.

Cheers!!!!!

as has been said, your o2 sensor only controls the closed loop mapping. this is light throttle. once you give it the beans it will drop into open loop which is much richer mapping. this mapping isn't altered by the o2 sensor.

however since you have a pfc, the mapping may be affected a slight bit more by the o2 sensor.

but all that still ignores one main factor. that is that the boost is controlled by thw wastegate. so my guess is that when changing the o2 sensor something was bumped in the wastegate actuator that has slightly altered the boost. this may have been the dump pipe flexing when loosening ot tightening the o2 sensor, etc

i'm using a turbosmart manual controller but there is also an apexi boost controller hooked up in line too. thought that seemed a bit weird but it was like that when i got the car and my mechanic left it there after dyno tunig it and stuff. i'll get a pic tomoz and see what you guys think.

how sensitive are wastegate actuators? i might have slightly bumped it i guess when changing the sensor, but enough to alter my boost?

anyway, my main worry is that this extra boost has changed my tune and could harm the engine. does the power fc adjust its self or do i need to get the tune looked at and also try to figure out why there is more boost now.

only other thing different is that i dont have the turbo heat shield on. everything else it exactly the same. the manual boost controller is on the same setting as always.

cheers for ya help guys

um, not sure if it is the same as a 33 (pretty sure it is though). if it is it should be listed in the book (i know for a fact that the r33 is listed in their current book) but if they are using an old book the 33 sensor is the same part number as a n15 pulsar SSS (2.0L) part number OZA395-E2

cheers mate. the lad at repco thought it might be the same as a r31. i wanted to check first before i got it.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
