Hi All,

I am trying to find reference to a post here in the past for ECU fault codes but it seems to be gone. I just hooked up my laptop to the consult port (OBDII port) for a diagnostics run and sensor data logging to try and get an idea hopefully for a issue where my car intermittently and randomly blow some smoke. If my car could smoke a cigarette then its like it took a puff - lol.

Anyway I have fault code P0235 which I believe is turbo boost sensor? I recently bypassed the boost bleeder/controller as after recent mods with Criag's help my car was hitting 21psi. A little too high for kind of stock setup still. So I believe the code is for this sensor but I wanted to confirm incase is was for the other sensor that monitors boost pressure. I still have everything connected electronically. I just connected the inlet and outlet of the bleeder controller to each other (keep dust out), plugged the hole on the intake pipe and replaced the T with a stright through from inlet to waste gate actuator.

Any info on code 235 would eb great! Now to go for another test run for a speed trap test :woot:

thanks!

If the boost goes above 22psi it will throw that code. You can trick the sensor into seeing less pressure with a small air pressure regulator as I have done, or perhaps simply blocking it will work?

Well cleared the error code and went for a boost. On return home no errors reported. So suspect the err 235 was indeed because of exceeding 21psi but that's fixed now. 17psi flat across rev range.

But now I got some hunting to do. I tried performing a Idle Air Volume Learn function and it will not complete. Was data logging my run so got something to analyse. Might have a boost leak somewhere or maybe not. Maybe idling too high or read maybe fuel trims are out (hope I logged that).

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
