Hello all.

Hope you're doing good.

 

I have a little problem with my R34 GTT. suddenly, I have Engine Light on.

I read the Ecu with Nissan Data Scan, and I have Error code 26, Boost pressure Sensor.

When I accelerate the stock boost Gauge change

 

How can I check if the sensor has a problem?

 

Thanks a lot.

I need to solve that to pass the MOT

There are 2 MAP sensors.  The one for the gauge has nothing to do with the ECU.  The other MAP sensor (what the ECU is calling the boost sensor) is used by the ECU to tell when you have boost and to ensure that you do not have too much boost.  So, the fault code can either be because the sensor has died or become disconnected, or it can be because you have increased the boost too much and the ECU knows what you did last summer.  If you have wound the boost up that far on the stock ECU, then it will be no faster than it would be at lower boost, because the ECU will have dropped in all the fuel and taken out all the timing.

I just have stock boost with 2stage boost disconnected.

I cleaned he sensor pins and plus pins but same thing. I think I have tonreplace boost sensor.

You are not listening.  There are 2 boost sensors.  I'm not talking about the factory boost solenoid.  I am talking about boost sensors.  OK, we're mixing terms.  They are both MAP sensors.  One runs the gauge.  The other is connected to the ECU and the ECU uses it exactly as I said in my first post.  THAT is the one that has some sort of problem.  Have you removed it?  Disconnected it?  If so, then there is your problem.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
