Hey,

I just did my 02 Sensor Test, This is how i did it..

Set my ECU into test mode

warmed the car for about 5 mins (till it dropped to 800rpm)

then i held my foot on the accelerate till 2 grans

held it there for 10 seconds

then released.

in this time the ecu light flashed about 5 - 7 times in about 10 seconds (not accutarly)

But then it was kinda flashing all over the place, like after that it went off for abotu 10 seconds then stayd on for about 20 an yeah im nto sure what all this means.

I heard if it flashes between 5 - 10 in 1- seconds, this is normal

yet ive heard if the light stays on its running lean

but if it stays off its running rich.

In my case it did both of this :S

Anyone able to help me understand?

the only way to test if the 02 sensor is dead that i know of is to remove it (its on the exhaust manifold) and shake it. if it rattles its dead. its only supposed to last 40,000ks. if its dead youll have terrible fuel economy. its been done in the maitenance section probably 10 times in the last month, check out the thread "o2 sensor".

i had bad fuel economy and ive done 40,000 ks since ive had my car and its never been changed so i took the plunge and changed it ($117 part) and my fuel economy increased by about 100ks on a full tank

no problems. ive never done ecu diag so not sure what its like but it sounds very confusing thats for sure. theres a guy who made a consult hack up to an lcd display which shows all the stock ecu sensors for about $300 which could be handy, its in the for sale section. it shows the o2 sensor

Can't recommend the NissDatascan enough. Installed one on my GTR Friday ( by installed I mean I plugged it into the consult port) & works very well.

Displays 8 engine parameters on the screen out of

- RPM

- AFM voltage (2 for my GTR)

- Speed [miles/kph]

- Injector Pulse Width

- Injector Duty Cycle (%)

- Water/Coolant Temp Sensor (°C & F)

- Ignition timing

- Throttle Position (voltage & %)

- 02 sensor (voltage, + lean/rich)

- AAC Valve position (%)

- Battery Voltage

- Flags (a/c compresser on?, Power steering pump on?, Neutral Gear Selected?, Closed TPS)

- More Flags (A/C Relay on?, Fuel Pump on?, VCT Solenoid on?, Termo fans on?)

- More Flags (P/reg on?, Wastegate valve on?, IACV-FICD on ?, Egr on?

Hence you can diagnose most problems straight away. Saves dropping into mechanic & having them tinker around & recommend replacement parts.

I'll take a few photos tomorrow & do up a review when I get hold of a laptop to test the logging.

Otherwise just by one from the wreckers if your pretty sure its broken - there not that expensive.

Sounds good to me..

Something is suss when it comes to my ECU.

I have an RSM which reads my information incorrectly.

I also have a type one timer which also reads my revs/speed incorrectly.

I dont know if the timer if piggy backing off the rsm wires or what?

Ok, I dont know where its connected to on the ECU

but this is what my translation says

red - battery positive

blue/brown - ign 1

green - ignition

black - earth

brown - revs

I didnt install it and thats the translation someone did for me

although looking at it now, it doesnt seem to soudn right

like its missing some wires or something

I got the english manual here, i also got mine from japan too and the diagram of the ecu in the manual is wrong or it could be havent calibrated the revs and speed yet.

Red - 12 volt constant

Green - 12 Volt Ignition

Blue - 12 vold accessory

Gray - Handnbrake

Brown - RPM

Blue - Speed

    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
    • The "sacrifice of low end" is now basically irrelevant in 2025. Turbo/ecu/fabrication/and other tech advancements gives a vast array of options to mitigated any of it. My setup now is a fantastic example of this. 300whp / 20psi @ 3500rpm from a 600hp turbo setup on a notoriety low reading Dyno Dynamics roller dyno, is almost unmatched on all of SAU and other forums. The only other turbo i've seen that can achieve this is a BW EFR + twin scroll / twin gates etc etc etc... ps. tuned by Matty Spry at P.I.T.S as far as getting to the 600 figure, while enlarging your itb's alone probably won't get you there, as Sucram has stated above, it will certainly help. Just do it Predator1 my brother hahaha 🙂
    • I use Taaarks/efi solutions ones. Years, and no issues.
    • At the Botany heavy vehicle inspection centre. At the time there were only 2 locations that did IM240 testing for free, the other location was at Penrith. I did a quick google, seems like the Botany and Penrith inspection centre is closed now though About an hour of my time.  At the time you could. They are closed now   No it was Government run, the site was attached to the RTA from memory. The guys running it at the time were awesome, if you didn't pass the test, they handed you the results and said make changes to your car/tune and have another go later. You drove in registered, failed, and drove out registered.   Obviously though if you were defected, sent there, failed. You remained unregistered.  From my 5 minutes of research (have a look at the date on my test results) looks like things have changed. So, I can't see any way to get this test done for free now Seems like you'll need to call around the engineering places doing the Vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Scheme or call around workshops with a dyno and try and get a RG240 test. No idea how expensive that is though or how easy it is to find a place offering it.  Bit depressing learning about this now. The first car I had engineered in NSW cost me about $250 all up.... So kids these days can't buy houses, looks like getting your car legal and engineered in NSW is another thing on the list of things they can't afford. Great. 
    • That makes sense. Thanks!
