Hey guys just came back from a spirited drive tonight, and noticed a engine light whilst reving out 4th gear at about 5-7000rpm as soon as i seen it i backed off, iv got a r32 gtr so the light was a little red one on the right hand side, it looked like a small square with little lines above and below the square.

Now my question is why it may have flashed and what are some potential reasons for it to flash?

Haters please dont flood the thread with unwanted comments.

Thanks

Late reply mate but that light is the Cat Temp Warning Light. The Power FC uses it as a warning light for any diagnostic so if you use that type of ECU, plug in your hand controller, and run the sensor check when you the light come up again. The highlighted value is the diagnosed problem. Example: AF-1 on my 32R is one of the AFM's.

If you don't run a Power FC then take it easy on the old girl haha...

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
