I've just brought a new O2 sensor and will change it soon, will let you guys know if it has helped my wallet. Mods that I have are a 3" exhaust from turbo back, FMIC, pod filter (with CAI set up), runs at 10 psi. I've also changed my fuel filter recently and my plugs as well, and am using an injector cleaner regularly (Redline). I also have an Emanage but it isn't tuned yet (this factor won't be helping me any either).

Does an atmo BOV make that much difference?

I've got an R33 S1

3 inch exhaust all the way to the turbo

pod filter

atmo BOV (pssshhhhttttt!!!).

Standard boost.

I dont know how much fuel i'm using yet, havent really had it long enough to take note.

But i can tell it's going thru a fair bit more than i thought it would.

When i hear that pod filter sucking air, i can feel my wallet emptying.

Is this normal?

City driving in 4th, doing about 60kph, sitting on around 2200rpm.

Does rpm seem a bit high?

I drive an R32 GTR on 12psi with 245rwkw.

City = 500kms

Hwy = 600kms

R32 has 60L tank.

Jason.

Why do i feel scepticle about those figures ??

I have a r33 gts-t with a pod, so i wouldn't be getting much more than 250hp at flywheel, I get 500 km

dun know nothin bout ur type of car what size motor u runnin? that is extremely bad fuel economy bro i'd b broke all the time!! 1 my mates got a bombed 355ci stroker powered commodore thats off its tits and it only averages around 18-19L/100km around town..

its the RB25DET NEO the same as the r34 gtt

fuel is killing me!

Just removed my old O2 sensor and am about to install the new one. When I took the old one off and shook it, it sounded like a set of maraccas! Definetely busted (and no I didn't shake it so much that it broke, it was like that when I took it off). The old O2 sensor was very easy to remove, I had no problems with the heat shield getting in the way because... I never had one! Either I never had one when I brought the car (4 years ago) or when I put the new exhaust on the installer never put it back on. Hmmmm... :P

This might be totaly wrong, but I used to Own a commodore, and I know when ever the battery got old in the thing, my fuel consuption would drop from about 500 km's to 350 km's out of a standard 60L tank, and when i saw this happening, I would replace the battery, and it would always bring the fuel consuption right again.

I have talked to a few mechanics, and they said, when a car's battry is starting to get old, it will not put as much powerinto the ECU and computer, and there for is not working at its peak. So you will always seem to use more fuel cos the computer is just pumping the fuel through and not shutting down when it is ment to. Or some crap like that.

All i know is it worked for the commodore, maybe someone can try it and let me know if it works with a skyline too.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
