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).

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
