Hi guys,

I recently purchased an Autometer WIDEBAND air fuel ratio gauge for my R33 GTS25T series 2 and I want to know what would be the best way to set it up.

Should I leave the factory oxygen sensor for the factory ecu, drill the dump pipe and weld on the bung for the wide band oxygen sensor that came with the gauge, install and run that sensor seperately for the gauge, OR just remove the factory oxygen sensor, fit the wide band oxygen sensor in its place and hook up the signal wire from the back of the gauge straight into the ecu ?

The only problem with that is, the factory oxygen has an output of 0-1 volt whereas the gauge's signal wire has an output range of 0-4 volts..... is there any way of running the ecu off the gauge's signal wire OR would I have to run two seperate oxygen sensors - the factory unit for the ecu and wide band unit for the gauge ?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

you need to run 2 different o2 sensors if you plan on having decent fuel economy. if you don't mind using the extra fuel of not having the ecu run on closed loop then you could just put the wideband sensor in the stock sensor hole.

sorry to hijack mate but i was keen to replace my oxy sensor in my 33 turbo... i noticed there is one at the turbo and one near the cat, are they both oxy sensors and must be replaced or only the 3 wire one near the turbine?

Isnt the one on the cat a temp sensor ? or is that a oxygen sensor as well ??

temp sensor can be disconnected. they are only to warn you of an overheating cat. all they do is trigger a light on the dash and they often malfunction causing the light tom come on when you hit a bump. the ecu doesn't use them for anything.

nissan if you want a top notch one. or if you want to save about $50 go a NGK one. can get them through most car parts places (autobarn, repco, etc). if they are a bit useless and tell you that they can't get them for a skyline then order one for a SSS pulsar. they are the same part number.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
