When i bought my stock skyline (59000km old) i was getting 280-300 km per tank. I spoke to a guy who knows skylines and he said change the oxygen sensor and ill get 400+km easy. I Changed the sensor (i used an aftermarket NGK one if that makes any difference to anyone) and now still running BP98, still stock setup i get 480...maybe 500km if i really try. Thats with normal driving and the occasional "spirited" moment.

I know its a little bit different, but my AFM's have been shagged, meaning that i havent been able to drive over 2500 revs and i have done 635 odd K's from the last tank and i still have quarter of a tank left.

Normally, when the AFM's are fine i get about 500k's out of a tank, driving normal but not holding back on occasions.

were and how much are oxygen sensor's? and were abouts are they located on the car ?

Easy to fit. Go get one and if you cant fit it yourself let me know. I have a crows-foot tool which makes the job a hell of a lot easier. Job takes 10 minutes (thats with a bourbon and cigarette break of course) :laugh:

seems like connecting my O2 sensors has made a small difference! now I'm getting 420-440kms but last tank was a heavy right footed 360kms

YOU heavy right footed??? No, i would not believe that! ha ha

Correct me if i am wrong but GTR O2 sensors are genuine Nissan only and $400 each?

yeh its only when I wear my lead filled sneakers... usually its work shoes or thongs (true blue aussie :ninja: )

Wrong man to ask about O2 sensor pricing... anyone need any, call my bro at northside nissan (parts guy Adam "Chong" McGuinness). He sorted out a pair of GTR sensors for Trav (SLIPPERY) recently.

I have just changed my exhaust from 4 and quarter inch (yes i am aware its way too big, it was on it when i bought it)from cat back to a 3" cat back (Thanks Disko_Tek) and have just filled up tank. Lets see what that gets me!!

P.S. 4 and a quarter inch exhaust for sale. Nice note, shinny cannon on back. Will make good paperweight or door stop. :)

  • 3 weeks later...

my best ever... 492km and there was still about 8-9L in the tank!

I am assuming its the warmer air would be the cause of the recent increase in economy... jumin up from a usuall 410-420... although I did cruise to mandurah and back doing the speed limit the whole way (no thrashing at all).

I can get you NGK sensors if you require them. Cost $65. I have deliveries out of the east every week so its never more than a week away if you need it. should be able to fit it yourself if you have a crows foot tool.

    • 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.
