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!

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
