hi i've got 200rwkw atm..

and my fuel economy is 300km a tank.. =[

I've got turbo back exhaust, boost controller& pod filter..

Do i need an FMIC for my r34 gtt?

As i believe the stock ones hold 200rwkw..?

My mate was saying you get more fuel effeciency with a new one?

Explain how they work?

Cheers

the intercooler wont change your fuel usage much, but loading the car up constantly on boost will

and you also have std ecu still so the mapping when you boost it pretty rich (ie waste fuel)

you should either

drive normal

get a piggyback

get a remap

get a standalone

okay.. so getting an intercooler atm will be useless unless i want more power (200rwkw+)
Pointless is the word you're looking for. And if you are worried about fuel consumption start measuring it in litres per hundred km - your guage may not be all that accurate and a more precise measurement will reveal differences in driving style etc. Tell your tuner economy is a piority and learn fuel saving driving techniques. Myself I have stopped worrying about fuel consumption - I prefer the fun of putting my foot down and try to save money by using the car more efficiently (i.e. less km in a week).

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
