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?

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
