thanks, thats what i was thinking. ive never heard of rb25's having air intake temp sensors.. the only non standard things i have is obviously the MAP sensor tapped into my cross over pipe just before the throttle body, a water temp sensor in the upper hose, and an oil temp sensor on the oil filter relocator

so the ecu is fretting over a non-existant sensor for some reason?

Map sensor should NOT be tapped into the crossover pipe. There's a reason that they call it a MAP sensor. The M stands for manifold. It must be downstream of the throttle butterfly.

Now, here's the thing. Map sensors are normally connected via a hose. Is the device on your crossover pipe your temp sensor?

Ok so the one thats tapped into the crossover is a 2 wire cable that plugs onto the sensor. And yep theres a hose running from the plenum into the passenger side footwell. So, if it is an IAT sensor and its connected, why would it be getting high value error?

Probably shouldn't. If it was water temp you'd expect something. It is not out of the bounds of possibility for the tuner to have put a severe cool down function into it though.

I'd be looking for a broken wire if I were you (assuming the sensor itself seems to function).

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
