If the AFR's sat at 15.5:1 at cruise, then assuming you have a power FC, it wont be a failed O2 sensor. Mine wouldnt sit on 15.5 with O2 feedback on as its not in the range for the standard O2 sensor so the AFR's fluctuate between your desired AFR and say 14.3:1 (or at least mine did)

This is under the assumption that you have a Power FC and are using the standard O2 sensor with O2 feedback on.

Does it feel any different to drive at all?

If not is it possible the wideband is on the way out?

double check all your hoses. I had my AFR's change randomly (one day they were fine then a week later they were to lean, then tune to suit, then they go rich all of a sudden) and I'm pretty sure it was due to one of my breather hoses having a big split in it and sucking in extra air the AFM wasnt seeing

This is on the suction side so made it lean, if you were to lose air on the other side it would make it a bit rich

Assumption is off :P NIStune with no narrowband O2 or feedback.

It doesn't feel any different at all, it feels fine. I was driving on the freeway for almost 2 hours, I didn't feel anything change. At the start of the trip things were fine, by the time I got home my wideband was saying I was running stupidly rich.

Haha whoops

O.K so all the cruise AFR's were tuned manually?

Sounds like something on the pressure side is getting hot and letting some of the air out possibly? but I guess you'd hear that on boost if it had an air leak.......

Short of saying try another AFM or CAS I dont know what else to suggest lol

Yeh cruise AFR's have been set up with the VE trim table, it was all working fine... I don't think it is heat related either, as even when the motor is cold my wideband is reading very rich. It does usually run a bit richer when cold, but never this rich. I have a feeling it's a stuffed O2 sensor. Very disappointing, has only lasted about 5000kms and 3-4 months confused.gif

Oh is the VE Table tied in with 02 feedback?

I dont know alot about the Nistunes. I thought when you said no 02 feedback it was a bit like mine which is running solely off the injection map with no correction from the 02 sensor

not the case?

Well could very well be your 02 sensor

borrow someone elses and see if it fixes the problem?

Oh no no, the VE table is the Volumetric Efficiency. Basically the primary fuel map on the R34 ECU can only go as high as 14.7 as the whole map is flagged for O2 feedback and it can't be switched off. So when tuning the cruise AFR's without O2 feedback, you set the cells in the primary map to 14.7 and then trim them using the VE table until you get your desired AFR.

Will try to find someone with an AEM UEGO near me, don't know anyone off the top of my head though.

spend $100 at a tuning shop putting it on a dyno? Can you still use a consult to check the sensors? I think you can with the nistunes but not sure

If so take it to a workshop with one of them and a dyno and see what voltages the 02 sensor is putting out etc.

I have an AEM UEGO but I'm a fair way away from you :P

Are you sure? or are they self calibrating?

The Innovates we use require calibrating every so often, you have to take them out of the dump pipe and calibrate in clean air or you get quite bizarre readings.

Yeh the AEM's are supposed to be self-calibrating.

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
