Hey guys posting here for an RB20 Water Temp Sensor as I'm hoping someone has one lying around/not in use that I can buy/borrow to see if mine is functioning correctly.

Been having some cold starting issues with slight surging before reaching normal operating temps and it's fine. Been eliminating most causes so now I'm stuck with giving this a go.

So before going to Nissan to buy one new (BTW anyone have a part number for it?), I'm hoping someone in VIC can help me out - I can come pickup whenever you're free. Apparently RB26 sensors are the same as RB20 ones if anyone can clarify? Would give me a much broader chance.

Let me know here/PM/or call me on 0406 948 342

Thanks everyone

Steve.

Just seems like the way my old 32 gtst always ran. Mates one does it aswell. It ran really rich/retarded until right on when the water temp reached middle of the gauge, then it surged and then ran fine after that when it was warm.

thats sensor is about $78 from nissan but i dont have the part number handy.

if you unplug it the ECU will assume a standard 80c operating temp, maybe this helps...

Thanks for the info - If the ECU will assume temps I will unplug it early tomorrow morning and give it a shot. At least then I can narrow it down and pin point the cause. I'm pretty confident it is the sensor.

I've got someone looking for the sensor off their blown RB20 for me anyhow as I'd still like one. Hopefully save me a steep charge from Nissan!

Yeah It's real annoying! I've been putting up with it for a while as it isn't overly concerning I just want to iron it out. If this works I'll let you guys know on the results - Hopefully save some headaches for anyone else that comes across this common problem.

I assumed this was the normal cold start auto choke thing where it richens the mixture and advances the timing till the engine is warm...? Been the same with all my 32's

      Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
