Cihan is borrowing it, otherwise you guys wouldn't have your cars tuned. You can thank me later. :)

The Innovative is only $200 delivered, no gauge, as the informeter has an analogue input. It can simulate the stock o2 allowing you to stick it in the stock bung, although it should really be a meter or so down the pipe. Cheaper than a replacement stock narrow band o2 sensor too.

been thinking about buying one for ages, they make another one with a memory card in it so it logs without a laptop then you dump the files

i'm thinking about buying one to make into a temporary setup that can be whacked up the exhaust just to check whats going on (exhaust probe and 12v cigarette lighter plug)

Bought a runner spacer from Craig (thanks Craig!) and I cant install it until next weekend at the earliest dammit!

Will go on with plugs, and fluid change.

What software are you after? Ive got a few different consult programs for W7

i need software for the stagea and maybe some for R32 and S14, but the stagea stuff is the most important.

It doesn't cost much to get an extra bung welded in pre-cat if you want to run a wideband in addition to your stock O2 sensor. I have additional bungs on both cars.

What's the advantage of running the o2 and the wideband together?

both me and Jethro are running an eManage, it will throw a fault code regardless.

neither of us have the o2 plugged in.. its only there for economy at cruise i think... mine was fudged any..

It wont cause a limp or anything.. it will just throw a code and not try to retune timing..

If you want to see whether the factory O2 sensor is still working in closed loop.

If you have two cars you can buy just one wideband setup rather than one for each car.

If you want to tune the car you won't need to remove the factory O2 sensor.

i think our o2 actually fiddle with timing itself. everytime Cihan tried tuning mine previously with the o2 plugged in, the tune would just go out of whack on the next run.

i unplugged it, and it was fine from there on - that being said my o2 was f**ked. but i dont think its necessary if your tuning.

there is no vehicle specific software, consult is just the protocol that all nissans between about 1989 - 2002 use. and there is plenty of free software floating around. i've got a few, ECUTalk, Conzult Free, TECU, Nissan Scantech (i think this ones free). If you want to shell out some money you could use Nissan Datascan. even the Nistune software will perform consult operations.

If your looking for a good solid little program to check error codes, look at gauge readouts and some data logging than look at ECUTalk. its a great little program, i used to use it all the time before i got my nistune software licence. As far as i know there aren't any free consult programs that can run active tests, i think the free conzult can but its limited.

can you pm me with what you have please? my only working free copy (nissan data scan i think) won't work anymore

+1 on this, its exactly what i have done and for a couple of reasons, one so i can remove the wideband and use it on other cars for tuning, and two, you shouldn't be running a wideband where the factory O2 sensor is, it get way too hot for them in that position, a general rule of thumb is about 1meter back from the turbo outlet if you can.

also, most wideband units will have a narrowband simulation output that you can use to hook up to your ecu if you don't want to run the stock one.

    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
