There's been lots of people talking about getting really bad fuel econemy me being one of them for me I knew it had to be my O2 sensor coz it was stuffed all the wires were melted. I'm not saying this is the same problem that everyone with bad fuel ecomemy has but i'll get to the point when i went to nissan they wanted $230 for an O2 sensor (RB20det) so I went looking and found this guy on ebay enginesensorsandsystems they were only $50 (universal) I was a bit worried about putting a universal one in my car but the price was right so i gave it a go, now the car runs perfect no ruff idle better fuel ecomony.

02 sensor wont affect idle. it is probably better to go for a genuine one vs a aftermarket no brander one as the voltage scale may be slightly out so it could affect say 5% fuel economy. a bog stock OEM one for the rb20 from repco should be no more than $90 for the correct one with the right plug.

R33 users can use the EL falcon one, althought there has been some specualation over it. I think the genuine one is only an extra $30 or so.

my idle is great, nice even rumble, like a even purrr @ .9k rpm, just get 200k's to a tank no matter what I do, whether i weld the throttle open or drive like miss daizy.

wiped the bottom section of the exhuast tip and see shiney chrome, drive it for about 20 mins, pop quater of a tank and she's black. visibly black smoke @ top end 6-7k rpms, but thought this normal considering its a nissan especially a line, getting rich up top always beter an leaning out anyway so when i bought it was fine, just hadnt noticed the monster thirst till i owned the damed thing....

have been wondering if its out of the norm but aparently the car is supposed to pull 400k's to a tank when flogging it. 97 S2 so hell dunno. on bp ultimate, first owner in aus, maybe its the ecu defualting to safe map? i've runn injector cleaner through it, gona reset the ecu in the hopes it will get better, just need to find a guy who can test it in my local area for a decent price.

I dont want cheap work but i cant afford big $$$ either at the mo

anyone around the ec area with a diagnostic machine that wont charge me a fortune to hook it up and give it a test?

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
