Hi Guys

So i have just installed 3 gauges into my R34, they are the ones from Justjap with peak recall & warning.

Does anyone know if its possible to disable the beep when the gauge is doing the opening ceremony??

Also the middle gauge is a wideband sensor, i got it direct from Autogauge. Every time i take my foot of the throttle it goes to full lean which is all good but then the warning alarm goes off & keeps going off until i put my foot back on the throttle. Does this seem right?

I thought it may just need to be calibrated which is done by pushing a button on the control box however the instructions do not state whether the engine needs to be running or not.

Haha I feel your pain.. I have tried but unless you are willing to open the gauge you may have to put up with it.. With the other gauge iirc hold down the peak button which should then move the needle to where the warning limit is currently set. Slide the button upwards a tiny bit and you should see the needle move in small increments. From there set it where u want the warning to come on.

Thanks man, yeah the other gauges are all good iv set the warning but the wideband sensor just goes straight to lean & the alarm goes off. The car was stolen on Monday so if I dont get it back I might not put that same gauge in.

Nope it was a wideband sensor. Uses the bosch LSU4.9 Wideband Sensor. Its not one of those crappy ones off just jap. Got it from Autogauge direct. Only flaw is the fact that the alarm comes on every time my foot is off the throttle. Gonna send Autogauge an email & see if its normal.

^^ yep what he said... narrow band gauges are a bit of a gimmick.. ps. unlucky with the car being stolen.. perhaps they will return it when they get sick of the screaming gauges :P

Yeah that would be great if they returned it, its one of the first things i thought about was them getting angry coz it screemed everytime they changed gears.

Are Just jap STILL flogging those f**kin gauges?

I remember about 4 years ago I bought an A/F ratio gauge back when I had an R34, it came with a warning light & it would beep every single f**kin time I lifted off the throttle, bloody annoying

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
