Send Scotty a PM

I believe he has some, or contacts to some cheap items. Defiantly don't buy from nissan. Importing from the US is the other option, they are cheap there.

Scotty... Calling Scotty. Got any more?

Just had my stag codes checked after random stalling and a CEL light.

PO135 H02S1. Heater (bank one)

Had my leather seats changed... No heater option in my car but wanted leather)

P0121 TP Sensor/ circuit. ( def needs a clean, didn't want to do it until others are checked)

P0345 CMP sensor circuit / B2

P0235 Turbo Boost Sensor

After reading about stalling issues... Both whilst cold starts... CEL still on but drives fine but wifey won't drive anywhere but family's places( 5kms away) if it stalls.

Codes wiped three starts later the CEL is back up.

Thinking if getting a passenger side crank sensor. Also 1 x plain silver sticker on strut tower.

Any advice of which to target first?

Cheers guys.. 3 years on an still drives like a dream.

Yep, looks like the camshaft sensor on the passenger side is toast.

Sorry, I only ordered in a small batch and they are now all gone. Not sure I want to deal with them any more as it seems every fault that pops up after I sell one is my fault, and I should fix it for free. Considering I was only doing it to help you blokes out, and making sweet FA out of them, I simply can't be stuffed anymore. Perhaps one day, but the amount I would have to buy in... Not sure I want to sit on $1000's of dollars worth of stock.

Heater fault, this isn't for the seat, the CEL is specifically for engine faults. In this case it is telling you the heater in the o2 sensor is faulty, open or short circuit.

The TP sensor fault... I have only seen that when I unplug the throttle. Cleaning the throttle body/plate won't fix a throttle position sensor fault though, unless the shaft is jamming perhaps?

Who did you get to read the codes? Why couldn't they help you with these issues?

Fair call too scott. But thanks for the quick reply.

Was Just a question to take some stock off your hands. Will search around

Got brownbill motors in Bayswater to check it, he's not up to date with stags. First he's worked on ( as in plugged it in)

Just eliminating one by one at this stage.

But will check pass side sensor first.

Ta mate

No problem Troy, didn't mean it as an outburst, just trying to explain the complexity.

The sensors can turn into a nightmare of a job, and diy replacement can show a few faults that can leave everyone baffled, and me pulling my hair out. I can only do so much for the customer buying the sensors, especially if they are in another state and I have had so many phone calls from guys just trying to sort dangerous engine cut out problems. They buy the sensors expecting that to fix it, but sometimes it just doesn't. It can leave everyone frustrated and me out of pocket.

Craig's car was a prime example. He even shipped it down to me from Sydney to check out the crank signal. I got nowhere with it in 3 days. The consult unit was required for most diagnostic procedures, which is why I bought it just afterwards, even then I don't have the oscilloscope functions to check the waveforms.

I would rather just be tacking stainless together I think, less headaches. :P

Digging up an old thread. My '01 m35 had the 'stalling' issue when decelerating (twice), and once when when coasting in a car park lol. Also had an issue starting the engine when the engine was already at operating temperature; the rpm would rev up to ~1800rpm, then down to 1000, then up 1800, then down to 1000, back up to 1800rpm, then slowly down to a normal idle.

Just had 2 of the sensors replaced from Nissan Hornsby, $405 for both. Hoping this fixes the stalling problem, it's definitely a bit hairy when you lose power steering and you gotta stamp on the brakes!

Oh just just read it right. You need to do a throttle relearn. If the or you cleaned/touched your throttle body butterfly it needs to be reset.

Yeah I had an error code, which pointed to the sensors, hence the replacement.Got the car back this afternoon so haven't really had a chance to test drive and see if all is OK yet.

We haven't touched the throttle body - though I have read that thread where the butterfly get's filthy as. I believe this was the next point of troubleshooting if my stalling problems persist!

I also read that thread about the throttle re-learn - no harm in giving that a crack. I did notice that everyone's idle seems to be significantly lower than mine! I idle around 1000-850rpm in D with foot on the brakes at the lights. Other people are reporting a normal idle of between 500-650pm!  I kind of just assumed my idle RPM was normal, sheeesh.

Throttle re-learn did not help. Though it looks like the throttle body has been sprayed with carbon cleaner (when the ignition coils and spark plugs were replaced. Pretty pissed off) so we're thinking it's possible the circuitry is now buggered. Hunting down a replacement now.

So you still have stalling issue?

I can confidently report I have no more stalling issue. Drove it around all last week, also drove it up to Port Macquarie and back on the weekend (8 hours).

I have a high idle, and RPM surge/drop when turning on a warm engine. Car isn't coasting great when engine is warm either, seems to hold in gear before changing up gears for a better roll. Replacing throttle body to hopefully fix this.

Sorry to Bump this old topic, but.... I was supplied a silver cam sensor for bank 1 after reading and researching I don't think its the correct sensor.... So my question is.... seeing as I purchased bank 1 and 2 sensors... can I use my spare bank 2 sensor in bank one?

 

sorry if this is a silly question I am stilll learning about these engines

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
