G’day all

So excited my first thread… But anyway moving right along

Just a quick question. I'm in the process of fitting my CAI and I’ve found a bizarre censor I’m not sure what it does. I had a quick cruse around the site to see if anyone else has not known what it is but I came up empty handed. It’s a black circler sensor of about 1 inch diameter that appears to be microphone or something. It’s mounted on a small tin bracket with one bolt fixing it to the chassis from inside the wheel arch.

All I want to do is relocate it but I’m a little apprehensive to if its a knock sensor or something. I haven’t got a picture but I reckon I saw some else’s setup and they’d removed the sensor. Is it safe to move? And what is it for?

Better go as its Valentines Day and I’m already being accused by my gf of having a raunchy affair with my car!! They just don’t get it…

Thanks guys

Of the before mentioned i like the sounds of the warp drive senor... maybe i could get another!! As for the others its a 93 so no air bags and unless it had an alarm in japan its not that sides its got one of those standard nissan looking plastic clips that joins it to the wiring loom.

Thanks for the thoughts thou guys. Shouldn't matter if i relocate it to the other side of the CAP.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
