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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
