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.

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
