hi,

i have just recentlly bought a r33 skyline and my fuel consumption is so crap i may aswell own a fuel guzzling v8 or something :( .

the mods are- fmic, plum back greddy bov, rear muffler boxes replaced with jasma stainless steel ones, apexi pod style filter and everything else is pretty much standard.

im running it on shell optimax premium fuel and struggling to get past 350kms to a tank. and thats driving it like a granny.

im gonna get it serviced and change the fuel filter too and see if that makes a difference. but its driving me nuts, it pi...ng me off.

what do you guys think or do you have any suggestions???

please help

cheers

wow~ that is cool~~ been able to increase fuel economy just by changing the o2 sensor! what bout r34 gtt? is it the same way to increase fuel economy?

i think the O2 sensor will only increase fuel economy if it is not working.

i currently am running no O2 sensors because i am waiting on genuine ones. i'm getting terrible fuel economy on a brand new engine. it should do a lot more kms per tank once installed.

call petroject (now known as logicar) if your in melb. 9873 7006. i got an NGK/NTK o2 sensor from them today for around $100. direct fit, now gotta hope my fuel usage goes down from ~250km per tank lol.

how many litres are you classing as a tank? shits me when people just say "a tank" because a dodgy fuel sender can mean that it reads empty after using 35L.

put your economy into L/100kms. my 33 would get about 10L/100km on the highway and about 17L/100km round town because i drove a lot of short trips where it would still be on cold start enrichment, and when it was warm i would fang it a bit.

also you can get a direct fit replacement o2 sensor from repco, autobarn, etc. the new ngk catalogues have the part number listed for them. and if it doesn't just order the one for a n15 SSS pulsar as it uses the same one.

Thats impressive. 5 hours driving plus drifting all day on 1 tank? mine could never do that..
drifting is not to bad as most of the day is spent waiting in line :D, superlap or sprint style would not be a possibilty though. Athids s15 was one (FF cover car) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/ma...l&p=4478142

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
