Hey Fellas.

My R33 GTST is getting about 230Ks to the Tank... However big it is. Roughly 50Ltrs. The car has FMIC and is only running 10psi as only mods, and 19" rims.( not that it would matter).

I have read the forum of the R34 experiencing the same problems, but i am thinking different motor, different problems.

Any help or tips to rectify my fuel guzzling problem ????

Cheers Fellas.

Michael

If changing the O2 sensor would fix it, I would have included it.

For the 23,965,351st time, the ECU only responds to the O2 sensor at constant load / throttle. And there is very little of that in city driving. So changing the O2 sensor will have very little impact on fuel economy in city driving.

hey mate that is bad. my S2 has a pod, front mount, and zorst and i still get bout 500 from a tank. Is the car new to you or have you had it for a while?

As if its new for you i guarantee as said here already ease up on the old right foot (god knows i went through like 5 tanks of fuel in the first 2 weeks i had mine)

other than that service it if u dont know how long ago it was done. especially check for dirty airfilters and gunked up intakes had isue like this with previous cars you would be surprised the effect a dirty filter can cause after a while.

but im still gonna finnish by sayin ease up on the right foot :ninja:

Yer i will ease up.. and i probs should get it serviced as i dont know how long ago it was done.

Also, my mate who was driving behind me the other day, said that when i accelerated hard or harder than usual.. heaps of black shit was comming out of the exhaust. So maybe there is tooo much fuel goin into it. running way too rich??? dunno..

Its not oil, cos oil is blue smoke.

I wanna do a highway test to Brisbane from rocky. ABout 7hrs, but i am scared i will run out of fuel.

So yer about it running rich???

Cheers

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      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.
