Yeah hard to be certain without having checked the configuration but it sounds exactly like the intake air temperature sensor is unplugged, which is an issue if air is based on a MAP sensor not the air flow meters....I would stay off boost if you don't know how it is set up as it is potentially an engine killer

Begs the question what intake air temperature are you running? Because for some models atleast (EG RB26 in an R32) it should be replaced with something less antiquated/faster responding.

  • Inlet Air Temp sensor (IAT) – From factory the GTR is fitted with an IAT sensor to the inlet manifold and this is supported by the G4+ plug-in. However for best results we recommend an alternative IAT sensor to be fitted to the intercooler pipe just prior to the plenum entrance.  This may use the existing IAT wiring or connect to the expansion connector of the ECU.

I got the oem inlet temp sensor

Yeah you can't run that if you're using speed density. It's the exact same part as the coolant temp sensor and is incredibly slow to react. In the OEM ECU all it's used for is to detect heat soak and enrich the mix as a result.

Why do you say that I cant use it when its been fine this whole summer on my new map with link ecu?

You can use it, you just shouldn't as Link state and djr81 posted up for you

It is electrically compatible but way too slow to react for proper tuning of quick load changes.

You aren't driving a cheap shitter of a car and an engine rebuild would be a substantial cost. $150 for the correct sensor is good value

If you want the long explanation, you need a fast-reacting IAT because in alpha-N or speed density you want to be able to know roughly the temperature of the air in the cylinder the instant the intake valve closes. This feeds into the ideal gas law equation which is then used to estimate the air mass in grams in the cylinder. The reason why the stock ECU doesn't need to use a fast-reacting IAT is because air mass is not calculated but measured directly at the MAFs. So it doesn't matter what the IAT is downstream, you already know the air mass directly. This applies to any MAF-based system.

I have researched a bit and came across a this "FAE 33166" https://www.autodoc.co.no/fae/2495306?gshp=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4uCcBhDdARIsAH5jyUkvDlPnJalva3nLNelUOFAsjmuzf8U95mQYbH0MUL_tlMm2kDCc6XkaAmHQEALw_wcB

Will this fit in the original location without modification and is it plug and play or do i have to re-tune the car with this new sensor?

The thread size is identical but as far as I can tell you will need a harness adapter. Keep in mind part of the reason why people relocate the IAT is that the stock position will heat soak so you will probably want an insulating washer on the IAT at least. Nissan deliberately put the IAT there because the goal of the original sensor was to detect heat soak and enrich the mixture in response.

Also, the "retune" will just be changing the temperature vs voltage calibration table in the tune.

I use the sensor mentioned on the Haltech Elite, they work well. Golebys and Platinum racing also sell them, but they are just the factory long reach metric M12 thread Hella sensor 6PT 009 109 141 or 041 from BMWs and Landrovers, so they are cheaper to buy from a non performance place. They use a 2 pin EV1 connector like the factory injectors.

In the factory location heat soak doesn't seem to be a problem with the Hella sensor as the sensor body is plastic, unlike the factory metal sensor which yeah as mentioned is no good when using VE tuning.

Ok, I had no idea I should change out the iat sensor at all... nor did my tuner mention it. So I should go for the Hella sensor https://www.autodoc.co.no/hella/937856 if I use the oem location? is there any adapters from oem to the hella sensor so i dont have to cut any wires? Can I "tune" in the new sensor myself or should I let my tuner do it?

You can definitely make an adapter, I just don't know that anyone has one readily available.

Looks better than OEM with the boot.

Premium.

Yeah I got my own connector with a straight boot on the blue 32 as most of the kits have a 90 boot, which isn't as nice as the wiring might need to be extended in some cases.

On the white 32 it got the GM sensor from Haltech as it comes with the Elite and because the old man is a tight arse, didn't want to buy another sensor he already had. To fit the GM sensor the plenum needed to be retapped to NPT and about 20mm cut off the temp sensor thread boss, as the GM sensor is much shorter and needs to be pushed further into the airstream.

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
