guys

my mate's just bought himself a GTS-T Auto (saying the lady wants to drive too - don't ask why).

After a month, the car's been drinking fuel for city driving and despite running some sort of aftermarket exhaust,it is still a slug.

Just interested in asking - what can we do to make the car a smoother ride and not eat so much fuel??I mean, yeah it's an auto so we wont go into performance but just want it to be of a "decent" standard.

any ideas will be welcomed- ie. spark plugs, clean throttle body , etc....

So are you saying you want more power?

If so its not cheap.

If you are complaining about fuel maybe you should get remapped ecu for auto 4 gears.

I recently got mine done... he built a whole new map because i only had 4 gears not 5. Now it has more torque at lower revs all the way through to mid range. We plan to adjust ignition timing once i install my new turbo in a week. This could help for performance if timing is off.

But really depends on what mods you plan to put in it.

1. oxygen sensor change

2. stock ecu reset

3. change exhaust

4. stock boost solenoid mod/hack

5. fit a boost controller

6. fit a piggyback fuel computer (apexi safc)

7. fit a good cold air intake

my mate lives in the Melbourne Cbd area. Do you have any recommended mechs who do these services without breaking the bank(but with quality as well)?

thanks,mate!

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
