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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
