Hey Rolls, I have updated what I have done but here it goes again,

Replaced coil packs

Replaced o2 sensor

Resoldered afm points

Changed spark plugs, oil and oil filter

When I did all that the fuel economy improved.

I have since put a FMIC and then a week or so later it started using a lot of fuel again.

Now the only problems I have are,

Poor fuel consumption approx 220kms per tank of Shell V-Power.

TCS and SLIP lights are constantly on.

Sorry about all the confusion and thanks for your help dude.

Also I forgot to mention I have disconnected the eboost and all I have now is a simple turbosmart T piece running 11 psi.

Remove it until your problems are all sorted, running more boost could make it harder to diagnose.

Have you removed the BOV yet? Also run consult now and tell me what all the error codes are after you have fixed the issues you noted.

And yes it is a genuine o2 sensor, I'm not sure if I have reset the computer properly I disconnect the battery and leave it off for 10 minutes and press the brakes a couple times, is there another way?

Yep disconnect for say 30 minutes and put a weight on the brake pedal for a minute, pressing it for 10 seconds is all you really need but it doesn't hurt.

So after a reset and plugging consult in you only get error code 17 now? What does error code 17 say or indicate has failed?

You can plug your boost controller back in once you have diagnosed and fixed all your problems, it might not but it will possibly make diagnosing the issues more difficult and you want to fix the car don't you?

Hey Rolls, Of course I do I want to continue modding :D, well when I reset the ecu nothing comes up unless I completely turn the car on, so say I reset the ecu and only turn the reds on to connect to consult it tells me it has no errors, after I turn the car on code 17 pops up straight away like a whore on a corner, as per the workshop manual code 17 states

Code 17

ABS-TCS CONTROL UNIT CIRCUIT

DEFENITON: THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT DETECTS MALFUNCTION IN THE SYSTEM. (OPEN THROTTLE SENSOR HARNESS, ETC.) - TCS-ABS CONTROL UNIT DETECTS MALFUNCTION.

I know I say it a lot but seriously thank you for your replies, I really do appreciate any help greatly, thanks.

I honestly don't think that's an issue, sounds like your TCS won't work but most people would pull the fuse anyway, in fact check the TCS fuse, I bet someone has already pulled it to do burnouts as it sounds like some loser was the previous owner with the gay atmo BOV and everything else being broken.

Drive it now and see what your economy is like, and tell us how do you drive it, do you drive it with a few boosts now and then, or do you drive it like you are on a racetrack, as if it is the later it would explain the 200kms to a tank.

Also does it blow much black smoke? Get someone to drive behind you and take off hard in 1st and second.

It isn't really an issue but it shits me, if I want to do burnouts ill just flick traction control off and go for it haha lol, I would rather the car work as from factory if you get what I'm saying, plus I bought the car privately off a 84 year old in Japan with full log books and call, the bastard just bought a r35.

Umm not sure if it blows smoke but dayummm does my rear bar and boot get black quickly, like I said previously I mostly travel short distances with a boost here and there.

Hey guys before I start I would like to say sorry and please don't flame me, my computer has broken down and I'm on my phone and can't search and from what I have read it's all mostly for gtr's and for r33s and r32s.

I have a r34 gtt skyline series 2 2000 model manual with 69000kms on the clock.

I'm doing a completely full service to it and need to know what the best gearbox and diff oil to use.

It mainly gets driven really hard, thanks for any help in advance, thanks.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
