All,

 

My r34 had an engine light on and it seemed the o2 sensor was dead as there was no input on my apexi turbo timer on A/F.

 

in the uk the cost of O2 sensor was around £150 so after long search of forums, I ended up buying one for nissan micra 1.3 1998 and fitted after changing the wiring on the O2 sensor so it could connected to the ecu connector.

here is another example of it in the uk confirming the o2 sensor works on Micra as well as Skyline

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OXYGEN-OXY-O2-SENSOR-for-NISSAN-SKYLINE-R33-RB25-SERIES-1-Series-2-RB25DET-/301405627170

 

The car was ok but still felt as it was running rich so I changed the turbo boost pressure sensor and still seems to be mis firing .

The Boost pressure sensor item number was PS660-1 Hitachi boost sensor which match nissan navara 2.5 td 2002-2005.

It costs £80 from a distributer in the UK if bought for skyline so i bought it for nissan navara 2.5 td 2002 and it was half the price and exact same part number.

question is, if the part number is the same, should it produce a same output regardless of car it was on ?

 

Could I have messed up by installed an O2 sensor from another car? I suppose the reading will be the same so it shouldn't matter.

O2 sensor is likely to be fine.  Hell, 20 years ago I put one from a Ford onto my RB20 because it was the most cost effective way to do it.  As long as the sensor is the same tech, it's fine.  But where they are not the same, it's not possible.  The sensors on Neos are quite different from the older ones, for example.

The boost sensor, if it has the same part number, will be the same.  Couldn't be different.  Couldn't cause your problem, unless you damaged/stretched a loom or pin or something while changing it.  Also, they are completely unlikely to need to be replaced at any time, so you wasted your time and money there.

Then its the same part, can't believe this question, you are kidding right.

trying to narrow down the issue by eliminating anything that could cause it .

 

I think it is due to having blow off valve so AFM is accounting for air that is getting released hence running rich and missing every  now and then. does this make sense to you guys ?

If your BOV is external venting and you have an airflow meter, then the setup is wrong and you need to get rid of the BOV and/or replace it with a recirculating BOV.  This is not rocket surgery.  These lessons were learnt in the 1990s and are excruciatingly well documented on this and every other such site.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
