My mechanic works at a Nissan stealarship but he has said that they are not able to get firmware for imports because they have Aussie version Consult 3 which does not allow them to download/access firmware upgrades for cars that they do not sell here.

Bullshit. That unit is capable of being put into domestic mode VERY easily. Done it severl times locally.

That said it can be setup to grab software as well.

Getting them to do that though will be nearly impossible.

Guys - Major break through. Went back to my car dealer as Nissan was hesitant in diagnosing the car. They have very little knowledge about cars in my opinion. If the service manual doesn't state it, t

You're probably right but unfortunately for me he's tied to them and can't do as he wish. If only he didn't move to the stealership he would probably able to get it. Do you have access to them Chris?

It won't be the o2, you can test it by unplugging them (there is one per bank) They aren't cheap to replace, you will be paying around $500 for the parts alone.

From my experience it sounds like the crank sensor, but you need to get it onto a scanner/oscilloscope to check the signals before blowing your coin swapping parts that may or may not be faulty. Just my opinion...

Skipping a beat constantly, could be:

spark plugs

a coil pack

dodgy wire or connection

a faulty/blocked injector

Crank/cam sensor

faulty ecu

The list goes on... Swapping parts until it's fixed can get expensive, unless you can borrow them off a known working car. Work your way through the cheapest options first if you can.

I've never seen another v36 sedan in SA :P

I've found them for about $70ea, but you're right it won't be o2 :( I'm hoping that the auto elec will be able to get a error code this week.

All the mechanics ive ever been to have all been the swap & see kind of people. Hate them so much lol!

Is that the same problem as you're having? with the chug from a stop & start (traffic lights) after it's warmed up every stop? With the same chug every 1 second @ 50% strength between 1000rpm & 2200rpm?

Which goes away after 5-10 minutes?

Have you recieved your cam shaft sensors yet?

Want me to send a crank sensor over for you to try?

You may need to try re-aligning the crank sensor, sometimes they don't pick up the signal well unless you shim them to one side.

They are different sensors between the banks. It could just be the angle of the plug, or there could be more to it. Better to change them both if you suspect an issue.

A faulty cam sensor should throw a code without affecting the engine's running I am fairly sure. More likely to be a crank sensor imo. If you can try unplugging the crank sensor and using just the cam sensors for timing control you may find it runs smoother, although slower from being in batch fire ignition limp mode.

Went to nissan for a scan today (after two auto elecs came up with nothing) and front LHS o2 sensor is all over the place on the graph.

They want $1,788 to replace the front two o2 sensors WTF?

Lol, the sensor is available cheap if you look around, it is just a standard Bosch wideband sensor I assume.

Message sent Chris, cheers

Yeh scotty, total bullshit. I'm sure the whole procedure is straight forward as well, unless there's some sort of calibration shit that needs to be done? wouldn't have thought so though

Maybe they are charging for the labour to take the exhaust manifold off....!

Sensors can be bought for 100 something bucks. I know, I melted one....

And if it's similar position to the vq35 you won't need to remove the manifolds.

It is a VQ35, front passenger sensor. But they "suggest" replacing both front sensors.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
