if the o2 sensor does nothing or its still bad afterwards check:

coolant temp sensor - the 2wire one, can be replaced with any of the same colour

cam timing - my 32 was a tooth out, didn't realise and wondered my the rb20 was such a pos, the ppl i sold it to worked it out and it goes wicked sick now

also, i think i got about 700 out of a tank once with my turbo brick, but my tank holds about 65 litres

just change the motor for an rb25neo

Hey the afm has been cleaned and im all very jealous of your fuel economy, i had a chat to the old skyline owner and he said his fuel was about 350k to a tank and it went down to about 200k once and it turned out to be the afm. He suggested replacing it with a new one and do the O2 sensor. The coolant temp sender does work but seems to read a little low so i will change it. what ones work ? the reason my mechanic is finding it so hard to diagnose is it runs well and goes hard. He says most fuel economy issues are with cars that run crap. Im going to get a mates r32 on the scan tool as well and do a compare on everything. Ill also get the injectors tested soon maybe thats why the idle hints slightly because its getting an irregular spray of fuel

you say the temp reads a little low, now issues with the clutch fan? my little bro's 32 had a stuck clutch on his, and it made his economy bad. but having said that his car was slow and loud and cold because of it.

hey guys as far as i can tell the ecu is stock. my clutch fan is in working order and from the sounds of it injectors will appreciate a proper clean :) ill keep you posted. Thankyou everyone who has contributed to this topic. I have just scored a job and it seems like its going well. Oh and got a 8 week payout for un fair dismissal :P The first things i will do with my first pay check will be an O2 sensor and MAF these are the one im looking at. probably like most im looking to spend the least amount of many but still get semi decent stuff ( I know thats near impossible ) This is the o2 sensor can anyone confirm if it fine for rb20det as it says rb25 but apparently they are the same

And the MAF ( cheaper through the US because the aussie dollar is so strong)

what do you guys reckon ?

I wouldn't touch that AFM, looks too cheap to be true, and who the hell is "AIP Electronics". There's no gaurantee has the exact same calibration as a genuine JECS made AFM.. I would only go with genuine AFMs made by JECS

i'd try re-soldering your current afm before you try that one

maybe unplug your o2 sensor for a tank and see if you get better consumption

and deffinately get onto that cool running (check thermostat too? you can run an r33 one but its 82dec not 87 like r34's run)

in the tridon book it says 82

but i got a nissan r33 one with my timing belt on it and it said 76.5 i think

both run at about the same temp tho, so maybe they rate it differently (opening vs fully open?)

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
