Hi all.

Ive just had my R32 GTR on the dyno and was quite happy with the results but when the car was at the shop the exhaust temp light came on and just stayed there. The light can not be operated by the original sensor as it and its wiring are long gone. I got home and did some serching and there seemed to be some mixed ideas about what can bring it on. My car has a Power Fc and has been perfect for years with never seeing any lights at all until now.

I can confirm 100 percent that R32 GTRs use this as their warning light. I looked at the car and while the laptop was plugged in the pfc boost control had been turned on and i dont run boost control so it bought up the exhaust temp warning light. I turned it off and the light went away.

All Good.

ed's post is saying that on BNR32, there is no engine check light so the PFC uses the exahust temp light as the "engine check light"

cars such early model RX7 also do this, they use exhaust temp light as the engine check light instead

thanks for confirming ed

I thought the car won't start if boost controller is set to on in PFC and apexi boost kit isn't being used

I found it would eventually start with a lot of accelerator but wouldn't idle or run properly at all.

Never had this problem with an Rb25, it just illuminated the check engine light.

GTR was very different.

Yeah just on the R32 gtr as far as i know. It started and ran fine but the boost was down a couple of pounds as im guessing since it was looking for the apexi one it stopped doing anything with the original. When i turned it back to off the boost went from 10sih to mid 12 psi. I still had the factory restrictor in. I didnt think that it would do anything with the factory solenoid but it seems to.

Live and learn.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
