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

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
