14psi is the boost from the factory, I’m not sure the stock Hitachi turbo could produce that much. Are you sure your gauge is correct?, a good tuner can confirm this and check your air/fuel ratios.
About 9.5 ltrs when the light just comes on then 7ltrs when the needle just drops to the lower mark. Fairly unwise to run it this low except in an emergency as we all know.
Rusty is still around with his D22 but doesn’t frequent the forum anymore. I speak to him occasionally, he has a young family now and is busy with them.
Cheers
I’ve had this before after some deep water crossings. I thought at the time it was some sort of earthing problem. Whilst I have never heard anyone speak of this issue Tony’s suggestion is very plausible.
My Air Con dripped into the blower housing and seized the bearings. Probably not what has happened to yours but another problem Nissan was unable to fix and I had to on my own accord.
I had all forms of issues with mine, the body mounts were the worst. The dealer simply could not fix it and I had to keep taking days off work while they farked around. I ended up doing all the work at my cost.
The heat switch is also associated with the neutral position switch, never known of such an issue though. Bringing the revs up manually without the switch would rule out an electrical possibility.
That’s all I did a week after I bought it. It won’t stop the smoke on take off though, they run lean from the factory the ecu compensates and that’s the puff of smoke on take off.
The ECU ajusts the fuel flow dependent on the restriction of the fuel filter. As the filter gets blocked it works harder to deliver the fuel. Fitting a new filter will see those values change and a reset is a good idea.
