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?)

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
