My mechanic works at a Nissan stealarship but he has said that they are not able to get firmware for imports because they have Aussie version Consult 3 which does not allow them to download/access firmware upgrades for cars that they do not sell here.

Bullshit. That unit is capable of being put into domestic mode VERY easily. Done it severl times locally.

That said it can be setup to grab software as well.

Getting them to do that though will be nearly impossible.

You're probably right but unfortunately for me he's tied to them and can't do as he wish. If only he didn't move to the stealership he would probably able to get it. Do you have access to them Chris?

It won't be the o2, you can test it by unplugging them (there is one per bank) They aren't cheap to replace, you will be paying around $500 for the parts alone.

From my experience it sounds like the crank sensor, but you need to get it onto a scanner/oscilloscope to check the signals before blowing your coin swapping parts that may or may not be faulty. Just my opinion...

Skipping a beat constantly, could be:

spark plugs

a coil pack

dodgy wire or connection

a faulty/blocked injector

Crank/cam sensor

faulty ecu

The list goes on... Swapping parts until it's fixed can get expensive, unless you can borrow them off a known working car. Work your way through the cheapest options first if you can.

I've never seen another v36 sedan in SA :P

I've found them for about $70ea, but you're right it won't be o2 :( I'm hoping that the auto elec will be able to get a error code this week.

All the mechanics ive ever been to have all been the swap & see kind of people. Hate them so much lol!

Is that the same problem as you're having? with the chug from a stop & start (traffic lights) after it's warmed up every stop? With the same chug every 1 second @ 50% strength between 1000rpm & 2200rpm?

Which goes away after 5-10 minutes?

Have you recieved your cam shaft sensors yet?

Want me to send a crank sensor over for you to try?

You may need to try re-aligning the crank sensor, sometimes they don't pick up the signal well unless you shim them to one side.

They are different sensors between the banks. It could just be the angle of the plug, or there could be more to it. Better to change them both if you suspect an issue.

A faulty cam sensor should throw a code without affecting the engine's running I am fairly sure. More likely to be a crank sensor imo. If you can try unplugging the crank sensor and using just the cam sensors for timing control you may find it runs smoother, although slower from being in batch fire ignition limp mode.

Went to nissan for a scan today (after two auto elecs came up with nothing) and front LHS o2 sensor is all over the place on the graph.

They want $1,788 to replace the front two o2 sensors WTF?

Lol, the sensor is available cheap if you look around, it is just a standard Bosch wideband sensor I assume.

Message sent Chris, cheers

Yeh scotty, total bullshit. I'm sure the whole procedure is straight forward as well, unless there's some sort of calibration shit that needs to be done? wouldn't have thought so though

Maybe they are charging for the labour to take the exhaust manifold off....!

Sensors can be bought for 100 something bucks. I know, I melted one....

And if it's similar position to the vq35 you won't need to remove the manifolds.

It is a VQ35, front passenger sensor. But they "suggest" replacing both front sensors.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
