Hey guys, got my series 2 rs-four stag about 2 months ago, loving it i must say! Only thing i don't love is the fuel consumption, i have just done 330km to just under a full tank and i spent 90% of that time off boost.

Alot of people talk about it being the O2 Sensor, so i pulled mine out to check the condition of it, to me it seems in pretty good nick (car has done a touch over 100k's).

another thing is the guy i bought it from lived way out in the country side, and i live in the city, so an ecu reset is probably a good idea, but after 2 months i would have thought the car would have adjusted by now.

cheers matt

No matter how it looks if it is the original one it is overdue for replacement.

If you want to test it here is a comprehensive "how to":

or buy a new one:

(for some reason the S2 is more than twice the price of the S1)

To reset the ecu disconnect the battery (and pump the brake pedal a few times to " drain residual electricity" - sounds hokus to me but eveyone says to do it!) and then reconnect after 30 seconds.

No matter how it looks if it is the original one it is overdue for replacement.

the only real test is a consult test , but as previous member said ,if its original and done more than 40K it needs replacing,

If thats the case i'll replace it, shouldn't be a problem. I will get the EL falcon sensor though and chop the wires.

did the ecu reset today and got probably 40km's out of 1/4 tank and that was trashing it abit, too soon to really tell i suppose.

Are u saying replace o2 sensor every 40,000 k? I've had my original replaced but it was probably about that many k's ago and I think I may be getting worse economy again recently, though that could also have been the hot weather, and for original poster I don't know if u have found out but the sensors are like 120 from memory got mine from rockdale Nissan no dramas

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
