not sure on that one snoz, the zirconia needs heating to work properly (the two white wires are for heating)but not sure on the titania.

checked my fuel usage and ive hit 190km on half a tank. looks like the dirty afm's could have been a big contributor to the poor fuel economy. should get the new o2 sensors next week, i'll fit them next and see how that goes

Tunes not going to make a huge difference as I doubt nothing mechanically has changed requiring different fuel and ignition loads. Could removing from fuel from the tune by they generally run lean then shift AFM drops when acceleration occurs, so could get some better fuel economy, but I bet it's something like AFM, o2 ect. I've got a set here that are used, but worked fine previously Eric.

They work like a thermocouple (from my understanding), which means they would read different because of the two different types of materials.

Thanks clint, as i said, got a new set of o2 sensors coming next week, and i will keep a eye on the afm's. if there is any problems with them. 'll come and see you.

are you back from holidays yet? still got to get that price for a set of front rotors off you.

ok makes sense.. but is the difference in material a longetivity thing or do they operate differently due to the difference in material?

operate differently and are not compatible with each other afaik

just fitted the new o2 sensors. had to buy a special socket to get the sensor out (rare as rocking horse poop too). will see if this makes a difference.

If anybody needs to change there o2 sensors and is SOR im quite happy to help as the socket makes it very easy.

if u bought o2 that are RB25 compatible, couldnt u just get the ford EF o2 sensor from repco, as it mentions in the general maintainence section that that is compatable with the RB25, i did that and im sure it was under $100 for it, plus some connectors, and no special tool required,

a bit late now, but might help someone else that is looking thru this thread

I got the o2 sensors for $77each, Gtr sensors are alot harder to get at than the gtst so it was easier to get the correct tool for the job

  • 3 weeks later...

got the fuel economy down to 13.8l/100 without the tune highway/city driving. o2 sensors are working perfectly (pfc sensor check screen). was hoping for a tune by now but other things have come up so it keeps getting put off. knocked up a catch can at work and that is now fitted so hopefully no more oil on the afm's.

    • Sounds good. Provided the panel is flat/level I'd be happy to start the painting process.  While you are learning, for sure you could do this. Its only paint, you can always sand it all back and start again. Its only your time and money on materials, but while you're learning, really its time and money spent on your education.  Once you know how to do this bodywork and painting, you won't want to waste your time and money on frivolous activities lol. 
    • Yep I will use a guide coat after putting filler, I will do it on the whole panel as I'm a beginner so chances I've made quite a few errors. In that photo, I think that was a low spot, I just for example said to pretend it's flat but I will put filler + guide coat after to assess where I'm at. Yep with that picture, the panel is wet as it rained when I took the photo. But all those scratches are completely smooth, I went over it with 240 grit and can't feel it, even with my nail digging into it. I was legit thinking to buy a 2k can and spray primer to see how it turns out but then thought to myself it's going to be a mess doing it haha. Good mention there. Thanks for all that info I think I know what to do next.
    • Prior to laying down the primer, you need to make sure the surface is completely level. For example, based on this picture, I strongly suspect that the areas marked in blue are higher then the area marked in green.  If you spray primer over this entire area, then paint and clear it, the finished result will 100% show the low area. It will stick out like dogs balls. Unfortunately the paint won't magically level out the low areas as you lay it down.  Without seeing it in person, I expect that the green area will need to be filled, then use a guide coat and check that the entire repair area is level with a large sanding block.  With this picture, are you saying that even though you can see the scratches, the panel is in fact completely smooth and flat? If this is the case sure you could prep and paint it as it is.     The picture with the paint you described as blistering, it's hard for me to comment on from the photo alone. It looks like the panel is wet? Dunno, looks strange. Does the panel feel as smooth as glass when you run your hand over it? **** Going back to your question again, generally you would only sand the primer if you made a mistake while laying down the primer.  If the panel is prepped properly and you lay the primer down properly, you should not need to sand the primer.  This wouldn't work - Don't prep the panel. Spray primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas where the issues appear. Spray more primer and see how it turns out. Sand the areas....... Yeah you'd go round and round in circles getting no where. 
    • That's sick, thanks for that, mine has much the same mods on a 400R. I just don't have the heat exchanger yet.   Might be worth a trip down the M1 to Syndey for a tune.

I would say if you are using the car for street diving a proper tune would be better.
