Cihan is borrowing it, otherwise you guys wouldn't have your cars tuned. You can thank me later. :)

The Innovative is only $200 delivered, no gauge, as the informeter has an analogue input. It can simulate the stock o2 allowing you to stick it in the stock bung, although it should really be a meter or so down the pipe. Cheaper than a replacement stock narrow band o2 sensor too.

been thinking about buying one for ages, they make another one with a memory card in it so it logs without a laptop then you dump the files

i'm thinking about buying one to make into a temporary setup that can be whacked up the exhaust just to check whats going on (exhaust probe and 12v cigarette lighter plug)

Bought a runner spacer from Craig (thanks Craig!) and I cant install it until next weekend at the earliest dammit!

Will go on with plugs, and fluid change.

What software are you after? Ive got a few different consult programs for W7

i need software for the stagea and maybe some for R32 and S14, but the stagea stuff is the most important.

It doesn't cost much to get an extra bung welded in pre-cat if you want to run a wideband in addition to your stock O2 sensor. I have additional bungs on both cars.

What's the advantage of running the o2 and the wideband together?

both me and Jethro are running an eManage, it will throw a fault code regardless.

neither of us have the o2 plugged in.. its only there for economy at cruise i think... mine was fudged any..

It wont cause a limp or anything.. it will just throw a code and not try to retune timing..

If you want to see whether the factory O2 sensor is still working in closed loop.

If you have two cars you can buy just one wideband setup rather than one for each car.

If you want to tune the car you won't need to remove the factory O2 sensor.

i think our o2 actually fiddle with timing itself. everytime Cihan tried tuning mine previously with the o2 plugged in, the tune would just go out of whack on the next run.

i unplugged it, and it was fine from there on - that being said my o2 was f**ked. but i dont think its necessary if your tuning.

there is no vehicle specific software, consult is just the protocol that all nissans between about 1989 - 2002 use. and there is plenty of free software floating around. i've got a few, ECUTalk, Conzult Free, TECU, Nissan Scantech (i think this ones free). If you want to shell out some money you could use Nissan Datascan. even the Nistune software will perform consult operations.

If your looking for a good solid little program to check error codes, look at gauge readouts and some data logging than look at ECUTalk. its a great little program, i used to use it all the time before i got my nistune software licence. As far as i know there aren't any free consult programs that can run active tests, i think the free conzult can but its limited.

can you pm me with what you have please? my only working free copy (nissan data scan i think) won't work anymore

+1 on this, its exactly what i have done and for a couple of reasons, one so i can remove the wideband and use it on other cars for tuning, and two, you shouldn't be running a wideband where the factory O2 sensor is, it get way too hot for them in that position, a general rule of thumb is about 1meter back from the turbo outlet if you can.

also, most wideband units will have a narrowband simulation output that you can use to hook up to your ecu if you don't want to run the stock one.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
