AIR/FUEL RATIO CHECK

(Valid for R34 Models ONLY. Not valid for R34 GTR)

This a great 5min test to see if your O2 sensor/Oxygen sensor is working correctly within spec.

All you will need is a paper clip or small length of wire with its end's bared.

Bend your new object into a U shape. This will become your 'Looping' tool.

You will need to pull out the Diagnostic Port located below the steering column to the right.

Step 1: Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.

Step 2: Once your engine has been warmed. Turn engine off, turn key back to IGN.

Step 3: Hold your loop to terminals CHK and IGN on the diagnostic port for 2 seconds or more then disconnect. This now places

your car into Diagnostic Mode II.

Step 4: Start the engine and run at idle for 10 seconds or until first Engine Check Lamp Blink, then hold at 2000 rpm or higher.

Check that the the Engine Check Lamp blinks at least 5 times in 10 seconds.

Step 5: Once you have completed the test, turn the vehicle off. Turn Key to IGN and repeat step 3 to

turn off diagnostics.

It is a bit hard to count to 10 and count the Engine Check Lamp blinks at the same time so i got my mate to use my mobile phone's stop watch. I said GO and counted and he finished with STOP after the time was up. Simple!

I had an idea that my o2 sensor was shot and this test proved it by only blinking 3 & 4 times during tests.

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
