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?

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
