depends how you drive it, i was geting shocking milage at first cos i kept running higher boost,

then i ran max 3psi and used stuff all fuel. if you hate paying fuel dont drive the way you do.!

+1

If you dont wanna use fuel get a Rio or an old golf lol.....

am pretty sure my fan clutch is "sticking" because I cant stop my fan after starting the car first thing in the morning (when it shouldn't really be on full speed as the engine is cold) and I've read elsewhere that this can screw up fuel economy too.

Hi,

What a post !

I read all the 18 pages and it took me a couple a hours but that was very interesting.

I have to replace my O2 sensors on r34 gtr. Replacing O2 sensors on R33 and R34 gtr hasn't been discussed a lot however.

My sensors are Bosch (ref starts with A24-A21 140 ...) . I spent several hours on bosch sites and I finally managed to find a matching sensor.

The ref is 0 258 005 726. It comes with a kind of universal plug as well.

This is a universal O2 sensor and is suitable to replace parts 22690-24U00, 22690-24U01, 22690-24U02, 22690-24U03 according to this document : bosch catalogue

It's clear that R32 GTR and R33/34 GTR don't have compatible O2 sensor and the universal sensor quoted above is not suitable for the R32 GTR according to Bosch catalogue.

has anyone here tried this universal sensor ?

curious

i stuck the cable in the com port of the stagea last night

unfortunately i have not been able to stick the cable in within 60 starts of the lst check engine light so i cant be too sure of the problem.

i'm thinking my o2 sensor is stuffed

the o2 sensor was reading 0.2 to 0.3 V (volts?) on a warm engine after start up

after continuous loops around 2 roundabouts boosting it hard for about 5 mins i returned home

the guage was stationalry, reading 0.02 V

is this a sign that my 02 sensor is shagged?

i'm not sure on what one should read and i dont want to go through the hard slog of country f**k wits to try and get one if its ok.

any ideas of theories?

I have exactly the same problem : one of the 2 sensors read 0.2V while the other one fluctuates between 0.3 and 0.8V

The one at 0.2V is stuffed ... I will replace it in 2 weeks with a new one and I will post the results here.

hey guys

im gettin really low milage (approx 280 kms a tank)

how do i check if the o2 sensor is shit? its prob been covered but i need an asnwer pretty quickly as its costing me a fortune.

I know there is a way to check if your O2 sensors are faulty without anything but I can't remember it.

Or you can get a cable and software from here : blazt software for Nissan

Plug in your laptop on your car with the cable and watch the O2 sensors. I will see quickly if it's stuffed or not.

That's how I discovered one of mine was dead.

one of them?

is there 2? where is the other located?

could i use a multimeter to check this?

There are 2 O2 sensors on RB26DETT engine. But I don't know is the same applies to RB25DETT engines. I wuold say no but I could be wrong.

Do a search on how to get the ECU fault codes. If that comes up clear, but you still think your O2 sensor is dead, then go for a drive and monitor the voltage of the O2 sensor(s). When CRUISING (not when boosting) you should see the voltage of the O2 sensor flick between low and high constantly. THis is how the ECU maintains ~14.7:1 when cruising. On my old GTI-R you could put the ECU into a mode where the check engine light would flash when rich (or maybe lean cant remember), so you would see the light flash constantly on/off while cruising. This shows the O2 sensor is healthy. I'm not sure if Skyline ECUs have this feature.

Guys with aftermarket standalone computers you have two choices buy new o2 sensors or

tune the car to not use the o2 sensors.

You can measure the o2 sensor to see if it fluctuates from 0.3 volts or less (rich) and 0.8 volts or higher (lean) however a o2 sensor that does this still can be faulty.

You need to know the speed it reacts one way is to test its reaction is to see how long does it take to goto lean if you squirted fuel into the intake manifold should do it within 100miliseconds. You would probably need a osciliscope to get accurate test results.

These o2 sensors over shoot the ideal 14.7 mark by a mile hence the bad fuel economy. Also there is no point in tuning your maps down low where your o2 sensors kick in big waiste of time.

I'm going to ditch them and tune the base maps on my power fc for my r32 gtr once i find someone in sydney to do it without having to charge for a full retune anyone know someone please let me know. It allows you to lean it out heaps further then the o2 sensors can and it will not overshoot the mark give yourself some room for climate change and it should be safe come very hot days. I don't see why you cant achieve over 400kms all day everyday on low loads.

well i took ot for a long drive and the O2 feedback showed a voltage < 3V at startup at cold and reduced to 0 over a 20 minuite casual drive with accel being provided by cruise controll and no stops

i think its shagged, getting a 0V reading has done it for me

Hi guys,

quick report to let you know that the last week end I replaced one of the genuine o2 sensor (the dead one) with the universal bosch sensor (ref 0 258 005 726). Fitted perfectly. And it's easy to connect with the universal connector (provided with the universal sensor). I went to a mecanic to control and to check car emissions and they are perfect !!

Conclusion : o2 sensor bosch ref 0 258 005 726 can be used as a replacement part for O2 sensor for R33 GTR and R34 GTR.

Hope this help.

i'm confused... for R33 GTR there are the two O2 sensors at the dump pipe, and then there is 2 on the catalytic conveter, one being a temp sensor on top of the cat and the other is plugged into the bottom of the cat. please correct me, i see 2 ground wire connections on the service manual pic attached below

    • Right.  I'll try my best at a concise "bring you up to speed" on stuff that may be missing here - obviously open to questions or further input from others as relevant. Here's a datalog from a responsive turbo setup with electronic boost control being used a bit, to keep it simple I've marked 3 points of interest.  All of these charts are on the same time scale on the X-axis, so you can reference what engine rpm is doing in the top graph, boost and EMAP (exhaust backpressure) in the second graph, and turbo rpm in the bottom graph. A) The turbo gets it's power from exhaust gas, and pumping air takes work.  As a result you can't just spin a turbo with a fixed amount of exhaust energy and expect it to keep spooling - the bigger the turbo (ie, the more air it can push) the more exhaust energy you need to drive it.   The most obvious ways of getting more exhaust energy are by adding displacement, adding boost, or adding rpm - but as you add any of these the turbo also needs to do a bit more work so there is a big balance of these things needed to even get to your target boost and sometimes that's not even possible. What you can see in step "A" is that there isn't enough engine rpm or boost to reach the level we want, so this is where "lag" is.  The dyno run continues and rpm increases, which gives enough energy to increase boost, which helps spool  the turbine speed up even more - so you can see that the rate that the boost (and turbo speed) are starting to ramp up faster than the engine rpm is, so turbo is really starting to wake up as the graph gets closer to point B....   B) At this point we've been able to reach the boost that is actually desired at this point.   To stop the boost from going further than this the wastegate will open and bypass gas past the turbine, meaning it doesn't continue accelerating at the point it was before but instead carry on at a more progressive rate which matches what the engine needs.   The wastegate will have a spring in it which is rated to a specific pressure where it will start bypassing, but electronic boost control (managed by the ECU) can adjust how much pressure the spring sees in order to allow some tunability on how much boost the wastegate actually sees, and therefore how much exhaust it bypasses.   The tune in this case stops boost from ramping up HARD at around 21-22psi just before 4000rpm, then as the rpm continue it allows boost to continue up to around 25psi higher in the rpm.   You can see the turbo speed fairly steadily increases through the rpm to ensure it's keeping up with the increasing airflow demand due to the engine speed being higher and boost being pretty steady.   If the boost dropped off after a point then you may see the turbo speed level off or even drop.   C) You can see that despite the boost pressure staying pretty flat here, the exhaust pressure is steadily increasing and at this stage has overtaken boost pressure.   This isn't unusual, and is largely as a result of the increasing energy needed by the turbo to pump more and more air to suit the needs of the engine as it revs out further.   There are a bunch of variables in regards to how much back pressure there will be on a given turbo etc, but its one of the factors we manage when sizing and tuning a turbo setup.   When exhaust back pressure starts exceeding boost pressure you will eventually start seeing signs that the turbo is running out, the engine gets less keen to make more power and it gets harder to raise boost further. In this case it's a fairly acceptable compromise for the power level (around 630kw on a 3litre engine with full boost by 4000rpm), but you'd not want to push it a lot harder than this.  The maximum speed rated for the compressor wheel on this setup is around 125,000rpm so you can see its starting to get close on that side as well - I feel like this kind of illustrates some of the turbo related things we both decide on how far to push, and are also limited to how far we can push depending on the parts combination. Hope this helps more than it confuses things  
    • For that influx of Spammers we had I made no pic posting and no PM's for first ten posts. This is group based and I've manually updated @Beanie to the Members group which will open up the images and PM's. 
    • Thx for the reassuring reply. I’ve got above legal clearance  going in for roadworthy Friday… fingers crossed it’s keeping me awake  bloody nanny state 
    • I was actually going to try and dig out a datalog with turbine speed and EMAP haha
    • Wait until @Lithium posts a compressor map and tries to explain what's going on. There is a strong possibility that the OP lives in a digital world and is not comfortable with analogue machines. A turbo is just about as analogue as it gets, with plenty of non-linear behaviours added in on top. Most of us who think we know how they work are actually only getting by on 2nd and 3rd order mental models that abstract away from the actual physics and bring it back to the sort of kindergarten level concepts we can hold in our heads. This is important when you need to hold 10 such concepts in your head at the same time. You need to reduce the complexity of the individual concepts to allow them to be simultaneously held and manipulated. Too much complexity in the base models makes it very difficult to make them work with each other mentally.
