Just installed a AFR display today and it was reading 13.5:1

Is this a normal ratio? My fuel economy has been pretty poor as well :/

EDIT: Shit, Must I add I'm running a R33 GTS '93 RB25DE

Only mods is a K&N high flow panel filter & the muffler replaced with a cannon.

Thanks guys.

If it's only the gauge connected to the factory sensor, then ignore the gauge. It's designed for a wideband sensor, not a narrow band sensor, all that they can read is "Lean, Stoich, Rich" they don't return an AFR.

It's one that actually displays numbers, but I'm having a few issues with it so it's not actually displaying the correct ratio -_-

So what should idle, cruise and full throttle be, just good ratios that won't hurt the car?

Is the only thing that you purchased, the gauge? Does it have a new sensor, or does it wire into the old sensor?

If its using the standard sensor, you remove it from the car, and throw it in the bin. It will be as useful in the bin, as it is in your car then.

as above, how do you have it hooked up? if it's simply running off the stock o2 sensor then ignore it as it won't tell you squat, except for at light load when it may tell you whether your o2 sensor is working properly or not.

^All of the above, it was given to me, the jaycar one that you build yourself. It's hooked up to the ecu wire.

I hooked up my ecu cable today and ran a error test, apparently my knock sensor has an error for the last 25 starts (I believe ECU holds up to 50?)

and roughly 25 starts ago I had to take my car to the mechanic, he is a dodgy mechanic but I was forced to take it there. After he replaced my clutch there was a red light for the exhaust I believe on the dash, so I asked him wtf is this shit and he raises the car back up, pulls this cable out of the cat converter (I think) and rips the inner wire completely out and puts the cable back in, then tells me it's fixed. :/

I believe that's the secondary o2 sensor? Does it affect the car in any way?

Where abouts is the knock sensor located? and can I replace it?

Thanks in advanced

That was the temp sensor for the cat. It comes on when exhaust temps are way to hight (ie a blocked cat). Has nothing to do with O2. It simply just brings the light up on the dash.

It sounds like you have just put a AFR gauge onto a stock narrow band sensor. Meaning it is absolutely pointless.

Yeah sounds like its reading off the stock sensor. If you want to check your AFR's I'd suggest taking it to a tuner and spending $100 putting it on a dyno and getting them to tell you how it is. If its just a stock ECU this would be your best option, but it shouldnt be running lean.

If aftermarket ECU then I suggest getting a good quality wideband kit.

BTW 13.5:1 sounds rich if anything for an NA, probably about right on stock ECU

Nope.

However the fact the light on the dash came on could be an indication of a collapsed cat.

in 99% of cases though it is caused by the sensor being dodgy. mine used to come on the moment i started the car, so unless someone had stolen my car and parked it a few seconds before i walked out the door to go to work i was pretty sure it was a dodgy sensor, LOL

If it's not had a replacement sensor placed in the dump pipe, do yourself a favour, remove the AFR gauge, and forget you ever started this thread.

+1

And the cat sensor is uselesss on 99% of highflow cats because there is no point to install it so maybe invest in a highflow cat and forget that the mechanic ripped it out? Exhaust shops tuck the sensor under the heatshild when fitting the cats so they are simply installed for someone to say "hey my cars got a warning like, better take it to the mechanic".

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
