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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
