I got 358km so far and the fuel light just come on, fair improvement over pushing to get 300km. I attribute this more so to fixing the hoses. I guess the 02 sensor, helped a bit + cold temps of l

Out of curiousity (as I am having a similar problem) where are the two o2 sensors exactly located? -Alex

I went down to Petroject down in bayswater, picked up a universal 3 wire O2 sensor for $99 brand new. It didn't have the harness on it, but it was a piece of piss to join the wires together, i just ch

Can anyone confirm what voltage range I should be seeing in nissan consult for the O2 sensor from cold to warm.

Just wondering if mine is operating normally before buying a new one.

Mine was hovering at .26v got to .28 idling for 5mins approx. + bit of a rev is when it got to .28.

It settled back to .25v / .25v after a few more mins of idling.

I didn't check it again after 15min drive, will check again 2moz + water temps and post result.

Also with 188k on the clock, it well overdue for standard swap as part of servicing :).

300Km approx is all I manage out of a tank.

RB25NEO.

Cheers,

Pete

Did some logging today. with engine already warmed up.

Water temp 69-73 deg c. range on each test.

10minute log / driving intervals.

O2 Sensor ranged from 0.01v up to 0.3v.

On the last test the O2 Sensor started reading 0.00v. for a little bit.

Will double check again tomorrow make sure it was'nt the consult logging software playing up.

Does this sound like normal operation of the O2?

 

Cheers,

No. Either the sensor is f**ked or your car is running very lean at idle. It should swing quickly between about 1 and 5v, going towards 5 when you floor it and 1 when you suddenly close the throttle.

Changing the sensor is the cheap and easy way to start trouble shooting....

Thanks Duncan and Ben for the feedback.

Both of you commenting that volt range should swing back and forth, quickly at that.

Mine, volt range is not that far and far from quick.

I concur with your advice, it's f-cked :).

Time to order a new one. I have Kudos open on the other tab, they appear to be the cheapest, wallet within reach.

Some local parts stores wanted around $250-300 for nissan genuine.

Thanks again Pete :)

Fitted the new O2 sensor today.

Must say the car feels smoother/quieter on idle and through rev range.

Better pedal feel, don't have to press as hard to go : ).

 

Can see the comparison between old and new sensor below.

A lot more data in the second chart due to volt range covered and all the little fluctuations where 02 is functioning correctly.

I filled up the tank to the brim, will report back in a week or so on how many km's i got out of it.

Hi Ravi,

Yeah, forgot to mention that, I did that last week with some afm spray/cleaner.

Also about 2 years ago cleaned out the throttle body and inter-cooler.

No noticeable impact back then to economy either.

Cheers,

Pete

How many litres did it take to refill the tank?

 

Honestly didn't check that. Just filled it right up reset the trip meter, avoided any heavy foot driving.

Got to 276km and reaching empty line again, the low fuel light had flickered as went around a corner

so topped up again.

You really need to take note and work out the litres per hundred to work out if the economy really is bad or you have an over enthusiastic low fuel light. For example in my skyline at the empty line I still have 25 litres in the tank which is more than 1/3 of its total capacity.

Actually you've jogged my memory with that last reply.  When I've had the low fuel light on and hitting bottom edge of low fuel line, I have to put in 55ltrs approx.

So I assume it ok, have approx 10ltrs left.

Well then, your still running too rich. Approx 20ltr/h. I noticed in an earlier post you said the car runs between 69-73 degrees. Its possible that your thermostat is stuck open and not allowing the engine to get to full temp which I would expect to be 85+. The ecu could still be in enrichment mode at the temps you're at. Just a thought.

Good point, I might take it out and put it in a pot of boiling water and test it out for correct operation.

Also leads me to another snippet of info, I have one of those radiator caps similar to the nismo that operate

at 18.2 lbs (1.3 kg/cm). That shouldn't have any relevance should it?

No, that would just give it a higher pressure threshold and boiling point.

      "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about

      Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
