well i did a oil seal on my turbo , after putting the new one on cleaning all the oil out of my intake pipes, i cleaned the amf sensor, and soon as i went around the corner and hit boost the the car started spittin black smoke and runnign rough, I cheacked all sensors and borrowed a few off a mate, every sensor was great, i didnt check the cooling temp sensor, so i did research asked about , if the cars cold and i drive it and let idle idles great until car warms up. ( only take 30 seconds if that ) any ways i took the punt and yes it was the cooling temp sensor, the cooling temp sensor reads the car engine temp, any ways when they are f**ked they read a nutral degree ( zero) and as ypu wopuld all know a car engine is a lot hotter lol, so they cts is telling the computer to pump fuel in to make it combust to make the engine warmer,

wheres the cooling temp sensor ??

the ecu only receives input from the o2 sensor once the system reaches operating temp. if the sensor is dodgy its gonna run rich, if you unplug it it will run rich so i dont see the point in that test.

get the car to operating temperature hook up a voltmeter to the sensor, a working sensor should fluctuate between 0-5v.

,but could be dodgy injecor, leaky injector seal, dodgy fpr, dodgy maf, temp sensor, vac leak boost leak, dodgy wiring.

would taking it to a tuning place help or would it be worth trying to find the fault myself ? so far ive spent 600 on splitfires after cartoys said thats what the problem was, i dont want to replace all the sensors in my car before finding the problem and thousands later. Im under the impression that they can hook their computers up n find the faults quickly but i dunno

hey ive just bought another stock o2 sensor, im confused because i have a stock dump pipe and the original o2 sensor is factory yet my replacement o2 sensor is the same as my old one in every way BUT the thread on the new one has a much smaller diameter than my old one so it just drops in the hole and cant be tightened, anyone heard of this before ??

the new one and the old one are identical in shape and size, the plug is also exactly the same but i'd say that there's bout 5mm difference in the thread diameter.

the replacement which is too small to screw into my dump pipe says NGK 205 JAPAN on it, below that on the nut, it says 2E21.

cant see what the old one says on it because it's in the car n i can only ever undo it with a rattle gun

R32s take a sensor with 12mm thread, R33s and beyond take 18mm threaded sensors. It's possible you either have a stock dumppipe from a R33/R34 or it's an aftermarket dump that looks stock?

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
