i just bought a r32 and i know the car is running a little rough. the previous owner told me it has been sitting in his garage for about 6 months with only using it about 3 times. Also hasn't serviced it so i'll be doing that pretty soon. Everything else i'm happy with because there hasn't been any surprises. But the thing i'm very worried about is the fuel consumption. fileld up with bp ultimate yesterday to full and today its sitting at half a tank with only 115kms done. previously owning a lancer i shit my pants at the sight.

Now the owner told me it hasn't been tuned in a while and needs one asap. it has a greddy emanage piggback ecu, fuel regulator, t04 turbo setup which i'm trying to sell for stock (check fs section!!), 3" catless tbe and hks cooler. with all these mods is it only because it has not been tuned

since i'm a noob and this is my first turbo car i need to know what tuning to get, where to get it done in western suburbs of victoria for a reasonable price and also would like to know if there might be anything else that might be contributing to bad fuel consumption that i should be looking out for. My bro has a s13 with rb20det which is clean as and it gets around 420kms a tank. i'll be really happy if i can get it up to this standard.

please help me out peoples!!!!!noob in need lol!!!! :O

if u return the turbo set up to stock then you would normally see 400 ish to a tank. wit that setup it probably drinks a bit, i would dare to say 250-300 per tank at best.

western suburbs, hard to find some good tuners tho i have dealt with created motorsports in campbellfield. they do a great job and no there stuff. they are more northern tho. get a good tune done with what you have, you may increase the fuel economy with a good tune, full service including new fuel filter, new 02 sensor, and cleanign the afm and aac valves before the tune.

check out the tutorials forum for help with aac and afm, but leave a mechanic to do the service and fuel filter for you. then get the tune done. you may find your not gonna need to sell your setup.

btw wat boost you running?

i'm pretty sure last owner got it tuned at pro tek on 9 psi with current setup. not only selling setup because of the fuel consumption but because of staying legal lol..

Sat nite is ok, i have to wire up a S13 race car during the day for some-one (til about 3pm) my mobile is 0419 059220 (feel free to call anytime 2moro) is it a blue or ultimate? i have both software versions either way.

Yeh maintenance is needed badly by the looks of it.

I did some decent servicing on my RB25 (oil, plugs, air flow sensor etc.) and with a near-stock setup i see about 480-500km a tank.

You should be able to manage close to 400.

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
