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'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.

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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
