My R31 GTS-X is sureing in rev's at idle

500rpm > 1000rpm.

My apexi TT is showing a constant air/fuel ratio of 20:1

This serging only happens once the car is warmed up...

I believe it could be an O2 sensor.....

Because it runs fine when cold and then once boosted it

runs really bad..... Once warmed up the car does not deliever

power properly and has trouble changing into 3rd gear until

you back off. The problem is worsened once the alternator is loaded or the power steering pump is worked.....

I thought of the exhaust gaskets too but because boost

is still being delived smooth and constant i think it will

be the O2 sensor.....

Whats your thoughts.....

How much would you pay for a new one or second hand one???

This is an urgent problem as i have a test & tune this week

and the car has dropped all of its power....

I think i got like 100rwkw atm.....

Its smooth to drive but just has no power.....

NOTE: I will post this in a few other places around this forum to

ensure everyone see's it and i can get a formed opnion...

Thanks Colin

Ok, i have seen my turbo guy...LOL

Its the Water temp sender.... Funny that...

The NICS Rb20det reley's on the temp to tell the computer

about the amount of fuel it needs as well as air temp, O2 sensor

and about 6 other sensors.... LOL

But the O2 sensor is stuffed as well, cause by over fueling

the O2 sensor once drowned in fuel is inactive...

Anyway parts are $40 for temp sender (same as VL turbo)

brand new and O2 sender (same as VL turbo) is $90......

So i should be good again... Still got to map ECU again though

Ok.... They were wrong the car is still stuffing around...

The power is back, well sort of but now the car is leaning out

a bit and never used to go under 13:1........

It also miss's a little only noticable by hearing the exhaust...

It's also burning really bad due to smoke at rear when hammering

With the sensor unpluged theres no smoke and the car run's OK,

but misses a little still.....

With the new sensor connected its up to its old serging tricks???

Any thoughts, i have a booking at that place at the GABBA

where that really good turbo guy works but the best

i could do was next thursday.....

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
