hey peeps

ive just done a few searches and i cant find the info im after, so i thought id ask.

im trying to hook up my air fuel gauge and i dont know which is the signal wire on the o2 sensor. the autometer instructions say i have to splice the wire after the clamp thing but is that nessecary? the wire that i spliced after the clamp adapter thing is a thick wire with copper colour wire in the middle, silver wire around it then the clear sort of heat shrink around it. is this the right wire?

if anyone can give me any hints id appreciate it heaps!!!!

Hi i fitted one of those to my car but it got stolen with the rest of my gauges anyway the wire i had it joint to was the middle wire on the plug it was a brown wire if you peel back the black stuff that covers the wires it should be a bit thicker than the other two (not the wires on the sensor) hope that helps

yep sic thats the wire i am trying to use, but it has like 2 different colour wires on the inside, like silver and copper, so i just join it to both then hey?

also does the gauge actuall start to work right away or does the car have to heat up 1st, casue ive hooked it all up and the gauge didnt work???

thanks for the help jason

just one last question- i have plugged everything in, and when its just the + and - wire in, there is a green led lit on the last point closest to the end of the rich section. then when i plug in the o2 sensor wire the screen goes blank, even wen the car is on. do i have to be driving for the thing to work or have i done sumthin wrong?

ok i got it all hooked up now, but wats it supposed to look like, about 4 leds light up at a time going up and down the face wen u rev it and on idle sumtimes, it just hits rich. but at night wen i turn the lights on, it read a couple of leds short, is this supposed to happen?

let me know if u think it is functioninf wrong.......thanks for the help so far:)

i tihnk there should only be one led on at a time, considering its measuring a ratio, not a range of ratios, the led will move rapidly though

the gauge should work alll the time, driving idling, warming up etc.... i believe the oxy sensor doesn't work effectively till its warm and hence the ecu ignores the signal from it when u cold start, but once warm u should get semi accurate readings regardless of wheter u r drivign / idling / just starting

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
