Most intelligent post on this thread.

If you can't afford fuel, maybe you should re think the car you purchased!!

i used to consistently get about 380 out of my tank and if anyone has seen me drive then thats pretty good consumption for me. I reckon i would pull about 430 or so with driving nicely, but then why did i buy a sklyine in the first place

erik i think if you get your plug gaps right and your afm cleaned and everything else cleaned and adjusted correctly etc like a good service and tune and clean up etc. then because you car will be running like a dream you wont have to have your foot so close to the floor all the time to get the same performance out of it (sometimes its easier to make it more efficient than more powerful)

oh yeah also i dont know what mods you have but make sure you take all that into consideration when you think about how much fuel the car uses and also take into account what mods other people have when listening to their consumption and thinking your car is crap on fuel

thats what happens to alot of people when they dont consider all the factors.

some people live far away from work (STRICH9) and would possibly see better consumption. others live close and choose to leave late everyday and then flog the pants off the car without realising because the only concern is "get to work on time" and then when the fuel is almost gone at 300kms its like "WHAT THE FCUK HAPPENED TO THE FUEL"

so yeah i cant remember where i was going with this so I will stop now.

its only 12:37... i am definately ageing

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
