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..

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.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
