Exhaust Change Over.

Me and my mate changed over my stock exhaust on the weekend to a split front/dump pipe down through to a new Canon.

Wasn't easy but we got there in the end.

But straight to the point here, we were unable to get the sensor out of the Cat, so we left the old cat on there.. the sensor bolt is to badly rusted together. Can anyone suggest something for this? Can I replace the sensor?

Also, I'm getting a little backfire every time I press down on the gas. Now I know there are prop 100's of topics on this, but also a suggestion on this would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, as said above. the sensor doesn't really do much. God knows how much it would cost to buy a new one of those. You'd probably have to go to nissan to buy genuine. Considering an o2 sensor is 180 from nissan, that sensor willprobably be the same (ripoff).

You did a pretty good job of changing the exhuast over yourself. Some of those bolts can be pretty hard to do. I woulda thought the cat sensor woulda been a piece of cake compared to the dump bolts.

Spray wd40, leave it for a day, spray it again, do the same. Tap the top with a hammer. You could even try tightening the bolt ever so slightly to break the rust.

What is the problem? is it just tight? or is the thread stripped?

Most of the bolts where ok.. Untill we got to the turbo \ dump pipe... getting those 6 bolts off where a bi**h.. Alot of blood sweat and tears...

For the sensor, yeah I WD40'd it alot.. I've almost stripped the bolt though trying to get it undone.. I'll try soaking it over night and try again the next day.

thats why you dont buy from nissan! although this is only helpful if you have an r33 but NTK make a direct o2 sensor replacement that costs $92 from Burson Automotive

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
