Hey guys, Im from the US. I have an S13 with an RB20det installed.

Heres what Im workin with...

Rb20det

Precision SC61 turbo

Z32 MAF

750cc RC injectors

Nismo bypass to Aeromotive FPR

Walbro 255

ROM tune with Ostrich and Carl H's assistance

Consult

Innovative wideband

Here's my prob.....

I run VERY rich at idle and at cruising speeds. Under load and boost the motor performs great.

I run so rich, my WBO2 reads "9.8".

Everything Ive checked, checks out fine. When I hook up the consult, everything "seems" too be running and checking out to spec.

MAF .50 key "on"

TPS .44

????O2.......which is reading .95 lambda = 14.0 AFR???

ECT within spec

Fuel Pump within spec

Timing 15*

Ive checked voltage and ohms on everything I can think of and its all fine and Ive changed the plugs 4 times now.

On Carl H's end, everything checks out to what its suppose to be with the ECU, according to him.

I'm at a loss guys, does anyone have any ideas on what else too check that would be causing these probs?

The weirdest thing I see the stock O2 sensors readings. Its not reading what the WBO2 is..not even close.

the stock o2 sensor isn't a wideband sensor. it is only designed to read between 14 and 15:1 and send the ecu a signal of either lean or rich. anything leaner than 15:1 it says rich, anything richer than 14:1 is says rich and in between is stoich. they ecu doesn't actually monitor the exact AFR.

it may possibly be that the stock o2 sensor is dead and that is why you are getting shocking economy, or the closed loop tune may be innacurate, or not even activating, however then it should just run on the same map as wide open throttle. i would be leaning more towards the tune than the o2 sensor.

I agree, today I did some test and came too the conclusion that the O2 sensor is fine.

I did find some, what seems too me, odd findings during my search today.

Let me ask in the form of a question lol

If I would check for continuity between the 2 pins of an injectors pigtail, should I get continuity?

I also put one side of the ohm meter in one side of the injector pigtail and check down at the ECU and I had continuity from the #6 pigtail to all the injector signal wires at the ECU.

I then put the one side of the ohm meter on the other pin of the same pigtail and did the same test and got continuity on all the same wires.

......does this sound right?

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
