34 Gtt Boost Sensor

How would i go about making sure this part is working in the same way as the origanl.

You mean once you install it? Start it up and drive it. If it doesn't shit itself, then it's working.

You probably need to understand that this sensor is juts a pressure transducer. It will convert pressure measured on a piezoelectric into volts. Most such sensors are 0-5v output. Most Nissan turbos run about the same amount of boost - regardless of whether we're talking about old petrols like the R34 or newer diesels like the Navara. And here is where it gets interesting. Assuming that the Navara runs higher boost (it probably does, being diesel) then if there is any difference at all between the R34 and the Navara sensors it will most likely be that the Navara unit puts out less volts for a give pressure (ie it will be ranged higher). And this is good because if you put it onto an R34 ECU then the ECU should think it's seeing less boost, and you can go do a little dance and walk away happy.

Now, given the likely price of this sensor I'm surprised you haven't just bought it, fitted it and been happy already. I would have.

Interestingly, i know of a GTT that gets driven daily that does not have this sensor present as it broke so I unplugged it.. Has no problems at all and has never missed a beat?

Just plugging it in and running the risk it doesnt do damage doesnt sound like the best idea. If it does read slightly different then a tune would fix it only problem is the location of the car is kalgoorlie.

If it sends lower voltage for the same boost level as the standard one then the euc would think its getting less air then it is and inject less fuel causing lean wouldn't it.

Well if thats the case happy days. So why if it only uses it for protection does the car run like shit now even when its plugged in. Do you have any ideas why did the tuner bother to fix it when they installed nistune. Im not trying to be smart.

It has to work, or the ECU doesn't like it at all. Many have tried to run Neos without it plugged in and failed. If it is electrically borked it is quite possibly equivalent to not being plugged in. I don't think even turning off the flag for it in Nistune compensates for it not being plugged in (I haven't tried it on mine) - and that assumes that the guys tuning it know you can get around the sensor's boost cut by turning off the flag. They might not have known. And of course, they might have had to fix the sensor if it was broken in a way that meant the ECU thought it was effectively unplugged.

The little air tube has broken off it was cracked and they glued it back on but has broken again. i remeber them saying they only found it as the ecu was seeing boost fluxuations. something like that

Ive never heard of that place and no nissan was a last choice. After quickly checking Amayama comes up with the other part nissan said i could get.

Thats is not the correct one, its the gauge sensor.

Once you have the correct part number search here.... http://www.amayama.com/search/

To get the correct part number try here http://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/

Also Use their russian pages as they have pictures of the parts... http://nissan.epcdata.ru/skyline/er34/3952-rb25det/

Thanks heaps those web pages are very help full.

I found the sensor i want in the russan picture

Interestingly, i know of a GTT that gets driven daily that does not have this sensor present as it broke so I unplugged it.. Has no problems at all and has never missed a beat?

I'm under the impression now after everyones help that i have another problem and i only found this when i started looking.

On your diagram you will also find "14920" plastic pipes will break off. (valve control). That one doesn't matter much either

it runs one pipe to the charcoal canister to re-use the fumes. Again they're NLA and a replacement part off a Navara is used.

The plastic pipes are larger and the bolt holding it is larger so some modification required.

Go second hand on parts form a Jap wreckers. Any RB25 NEO motor will have these.

Cheap quick option

A few pages now. Perhaps take your car in and get a mech to identify your real issue/s.

Edit

Oh and if it's running like shit, not boosting etc..

Try looking at all your IC piping for a split or even one blown off

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
