Afr At Idle

In the process of getting my car running 100% before starting to tune/track it. The head gasket has just been replaced with everything cleaned out very well.

Car is an R33 GTS-T Series 2 manual with the standard ECU plugged back in (also have Z32 and RB20 Nistuned ECUs for it). Has full 3/3.5" exhaust, FMIC, fuel pump with everything else standard (including fuel rail, injectors and FPR).

Base timing set to 15 degrees correctly and I have it idling at 800rpm in base timing mode (ConZult). I've installed a wideband (LC-2) and have been monitoring AFRs and have found after startup while warming it has an AFR of about 5. When the car is well and truly up to temp the AFR sits on about 7 varying slightly but no higher than 8.0. When I hit the throttle revving to 2.5/3k it approaches closer to 14.7.

I assume the car shouldn't be idling this rich? But I'm not sure what is causing it - the standard O2 sensor could be dead but would the ECU have enough correction to run it this rich based on O2 feedback?

The LC-2 doesn't have any air calibration like the LC-1 did. It supposedly does it itself when you first power it. I thought it was the problem initially myself but the fact it reads 14.7 with higher revs and then maxes out on deceleration (no fuel) have me thinking it isn't. Plus the car is definitely running rich based on exhaust smell/residue on bar (car has a cat still). The sensor is brand new, 30 minutes of use and correctly positioned.

Just looked into the calibration some more and it can be redone so I'll give that a shot and see how it goes. Failing that, is there some way of knowing for sure when the car is in closed loop or not?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
