Shocking Fuel Economy. What Sensors To Replace
reeceo21 replied to reeceo21's topic in General Maintenance
Hmm perhaps, id there any tunes you can just buy ? I did that with my commy I sent my ecu and got it tuned -
Hey guys this has been bothering me for a while and i barely drive the car because of it. Its a 1990 gts4 with 200k on the clock. i get 250k's grandma driving and 200 with a bit of stick The computer has spat out NO error codes so im just going to replace every sensor with a brand new one. So far i have got on my list O2 sensor- $98 (mechanic tested it and said its still working fine but bit of peace of mind) AFM- $210 brand new. the car stalls quite often when slowing down and my idle is between 0-1200 when start up and then on some occasions it will just sit on 1000 TPS- Cant find. sometimes when i have been driving for a while the idle will stick at 1500. im assuming that is the TPS sticking ? Coolant temp sender- $80 provided that rb26 ones fit. the needle always seems to be in the one spot Thermostat- $50 piece of mind Anything else anyone can think of. I have done fuel filter, fuel pump, tested regulator, changed plugs (all of them were black) Cheers oh and if it helps im running BP ultimate.

R32 Gts4 - Restoration/rebuild
reeceo21 replied to Chris Rogers's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
hey mate have you changed thefront ball joints on this ? i cant seeem to be able to source them -
it says for R32 GTR Skylines with RB26DETT engines but ill take my chances if its wrong ill re sell it. thanks heaps buddy !
-
i have been looking but have only been able to find outer ball joints. would u be able to provide a link
-
Oh and they are lower inner ball joints I reckon
-
Gday, having a fair bit of trouble.sourcing these Parts does any one know if the gtr ball joints and upper inner control bushes are the same as a gts4. The mechanic says nine are shagged and will need them changed fir rwc, can any one help me I went to bursons and they ordered the wring parts and tried to tell me car was obviously stolen because the parts dont match and the vin is not right, did a bit of searching around and a couple of skylinesa share my vin, oh and the best part is they wouldnt return as they were ordered in. Anyho any one care to help me

I think ( dont quote me in this ) there was one that was on there top of the screw I reckon that sealed the screw in. Once again I cant forgot remember if your idle is fine with it were ever it is I would leave it. I mean 20 c dodgy fix that works or finding another iac... Dodgy fix ftw :-D
-
I believe so mate i just cleaned mine (car now idles ) but you just unscrew the screw all the way out and spray the cleaner in there. simple as that. i think you are worrying about to much lol. oh and while you are getting your hands dirty you might as well clean the afm. before i did my afm and ICV the car would hunt for an idle. now she idles perfectly. it is half hours work but makes things so much smoother. it also solved my stalling when slowing down issue. If any one needs any help send us a pm ! oh and most importantly make sure you reset the ecu or it wont really do much
-
as the title says what would cause this. i was thinking thermostat so i will change that tommorow. is there any other factors which could cause this. my water pump has just started noticeably leaking. could this cause it ? also out of curiousty has any one ever had really bad fuel economy and then fixed it. the mechanic thinks everything is fine but only 250ks to a tank

Some Details On My New Skyline And Its Unusual Problems.
reeceo21 replied to reeceo21's topic in General Maintenance
Another thought is could it have been tuned for the three inch exhaust and the pod and having the stock stuff on cause bad fuel econmy ? Oh btw put stock bov on and my stalling issue has Ben solved, the idle is still moving to and down when my new fuel pump come in ill see if it changed it thanks guys -

Full to empty mate just under the e.

Hey guys on the phone so I Wong say much. I have got the wheel alignment booked. I will investigate the intercoolet problem tommorow. We I changed the plugs one of the runners looked all worn away and had pieces musing I will buy some tommorow. I will try and get onto tune and oxy sensor. Thanks for the quick reply guys much appreciqted -
Hey guys, Its my first post so be nice . i have just recently bought a 1990 r32 gts-4 for 5700. the AWD appealed to me. It came with some goodies but had everything on it to pass rwc (stock exhaust, stock airbox, stock BOV) did come with a purple adjustable BOV, 3" stainless exhaust, turbo timer and a pod filter whoop whoop. It also came with a nifty device called a torque split controller but i assume all of you know what they do. I have just drove 600k's back home and realized that the back tires are suffering from camber wear and one of the brand new front tyres is scrubbing already but still probably legal. it was an interstate transaction and i still haven had the RWC done because now i know it wont pass. i have developed an oil leak after seeing how well a skyline slides compared to a commy (very well) and have found some really weird problems that i would like fixed and cant for the life of me work out. i have had a full diagnostic done and it came back error code free. I have spent hours on these forms reading about my problems but havent been able to help myself yet 1. SHOCKING FUEL ECONOMY around 225k's to a tank. I run 98 octane. i have tried changing plugs with a small increase in economy. the plugs that came out were platinum and the tips were all black. the diagnostic tool showed it to be running rich and for it to be leaning at very high revs. weak fuel pump has been diagnosed. fuel regulator was fine. i wouldn't have thought this would cause bad fuel econmy and neither did the mechanic. chances are it may be causing my next problem though. will get onto pump asap though as i have heard of many rb's dying because of detonation 2. ERRATIC IDLE AND STALLING IN NEUTRAL well as it says i start the car up it will flucate between 0 to 1500. sometimes when in gear it will just hold 1500. Possible AFM? no code came up but could be faulty i guess i have no clue apart from maybe fuel pump. plugs seemed to have made no difference apart from when they were first put in (maybe because it was cold). it did stall in the test drive right as i was stopping and just assumed my poor manual driving skills lol but i guess not. the idle was fine when i test drove it. Have changed the battery. No improvement 3. OIL IN INTERCOOLER PIPE well i have read that some is acceptable. but how much is some ? i have a small puddle on the top intake pipe i reckon its called. i will take a photo tommorow. the engine oil was very much overfilled when i bought it by about a litre. i have since fixed that with fresh oil. ran mineral oil through it with an oil flush additve for 200k then put nulon fully synthetic 10w in. would overfilled engine oil cause this ? hasnt burnt any oil that i can see yet which i am happy about done about 750k's with it and its still gold. 4. THE OIL LEAK. its just making the sump all wet seems to be just above the sump and originating from the passenger side. is there a common seal that blows around that area ? need to get all this sorted before rwc. will have a proper look over a pit but just noticed it yesterday. 5. ODD TAKEOFF. and just this once today i went take off and the would surge and every time it did the front torque gauge would jump to 50% is there a dodgey sensor that could cause this ? it happened for about a minute before i took off. Any help is appreciated. really just want to fall in love with this car like i did with my last one thanks guys
