Hi my 34 boost sensor has broken. Now im chasing a new one. I tried Ebay and the normal places so i decided to see nissan.

They looked the part up and of course there is none. There system say the part is no longer made aswell but then says see part 22365-6p51a which is a nissan navara boost sensor which

has the same plug and look very similar so my question is has anyone used the navara sensor.

No brain fart, today at least....

That one above is the Map sensor for the ecu, I assume it has the same terminal setup, but are you after that or the boost sensor for the gauge in the dash?

My problem is with the boost sensor at the back on the firewall. I think its the Map sensor but written on the part is boost sensor which is kinda the same thing.

On R34s there are 2 MAP sensors. One is for the gauge and is usually on the driver's side of the firewall, and the other is for the ECU (to know when it has boost) and is more central. I don't know exactly where they are on R34s because my Neo is in an R32 and therefore I have the R32 gauge sensor (to the outside of the brake booster) and the ECU sensor is actually bolted to the top of the engine because there isn't an appropriate place on the R32 firewall.

The sensor in the OP photo appears to be the ECU's boost sensor.

It's not a MAP sensor in the typical term. The only function it provides is boost monitoring. If more than 14psi is seen it provides the ECU with a fault code.

I believe that's the only fiction that it provides.

i was under the impression it did more then just detect 14 psi and chuck a fault code. They found mine was broken when tuning and repaired it that was well over 12 month ago and now its fully f**ked and the car wont even boost with out chugging. i was running over 14 psi with no enging codes with a nistune.

With Nistune you can uncheck the monitoring of the boost sensor. Just like you can do the same for the TCS/ABS systems if they aren't present.

You can't run 14 psi on a standard Neo ECU anyway, because it will chuck a wobble well before you get there anyway (R&R - and probably hit the TP limit from the AFM signal). So you need Nistune to be able to even think about it. So you would just turn off the sensor in Nistune anyway. But if you didn;t want to, you could always arrange for the equivalent of a boost T bleed arrangement to limit the amount of boost that the sensor sees. A simple self-relieving pneumatics pressure regulator would probably do the job. Set it to no more than 10 psi - that's all the sensor would ever see. Job done.

It does *something* else in the ecu. But what exactly is hard to pinpoint or use to tune.

In nistune there is a boost duty table. It affects that which in turn affects fuelling.

There was a guy that accidently hooked his up to the inlet manifold so it was reading vacuum and the car ran super lean and was un driveable.

All great information but my original question is to do with the replaceing of a broken unit with the navara equivlent that nissan say will work and is linked to now that the origanl unit is no longer made part number

22365-6p51A instead of the 22365-6p500. How would i go about making sure this part is working in the same way as the origanl.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
