G'day. its my R32 with the problems :D Took it to an exhaust specialist today. Who more than happily charged me for a new o2 sensor he replace ($260), but this didn't fix the problem. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

Symptoms are:

  • Car is running very rich/strong smell of fuel and another strange smell (burning metal?)
  • Runs as rough as all shit/idles high
  • Response is very laggy
  • Coughs and splutters when you give it some gas
  • And the all important Exhaust heat sensor warning light is on (2 second intervals)
  • Exhaust is choked with soot.

Exhaust guy said he checked the cat converter which was fine and replaced the o2 sensor.

Thanks ;)

sounds like the ecu is on rich and retard, hence running rich.

Have you taken it somewhere to check for error codes on the ecu?

Send Douse a pm on this forum he has a consult cable and software so he can plug it in and check if theres an error code flashing, or just search the forum for ecu error codes and start counting the flashes:P

Alternatively take to a mechanic that handles nissans alot, and has a consult cable.

Cheers for the Info guys.

Result: Diagnostics run at imports101, sensors working fine, ECU wasn't converting the o2 intake data correctly. Replacing the ECU solved the problem.

Cost: 5 1/2 hours diagnostic work/labor $550

ECU $220

Pain in the ass skyline =P

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
