Hey guys,

i have asked a few mates about o2 sensor, some of them said runs fine without one. I have run my sr over half a year now since i have a new engine drop in and what i found out is that the workshop that did the engine conversion didnt install the o2 sensor for me. what i saw is they blocked the o2 sensor hole with some washer or something like that, i having difficulties of starting the car every morning, i called them up and they said was the fuel pump too big and need the regulator... help me guys...

cheers

Yeh my o2 sensor isn't connected in my car, runs fine without it. The car 'surges' a bit when cold and in closed loop, but fine other than that.

As for the fuel reg, they are a waste of money. Completely unnecessary if you have correct size injectors.

That's aftermarket fuel regs, not the standard one.

Yeh that's what I meant.

Personally if it's a street car than I'd have the 02 Sensor working, as closed loop control will give you much better fuel economy.

Depends how it's tuned. If it is tuned properly around cruise then you may get better fuel economy. I get 600kms to a tank if I drive nicely, 550ish if I drive around on boost a lot.

So other than the surging its all good ? :whistling:

so you guys mean running without o2 sensor doesnt really matter? then i have to look at my fuel pump, i dont have an aftermarket fuel regulator which makes the cold start really hard.... crank a few times before start... i surprised that honaldo runs 550-600 for a tank... mine only runs 350-400 for a tank with running stock boost 6-7 psi. ALso my carblowing smokes when i hit boost... wtf? you guys recon my turbo is weak now?

Well as far as I can associate with the O2 sensor yes... Car has gremlins, I'm missing about 100rwhp and 500rpm of response, but can't see that relating to the o2 sensor. Still searching for an answer to that problem. I also get a lot of reverberation, but again that is to be expected having an AFM in front of a big turbo.

As for the 'surging', that doesn't really describe it. It's not like a fuel surge you get from running low on fuel. It's like when I'm cruising on decel, using the engine speed to maintain roadspeed going down a hill or something like that, it sort of feels like I'm tapping the brake slightly and then taking it off. It slows down a tiny bit then picks back up. If I touch the accelerator at all then it doesn't do it. Given it only does it when cold, I imagine it is sensor related. Can only think of either TPS or o2 sensor, and seeing as my o2 sensor is unplugged then it makes sense.

/long winded explanation :P

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
