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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
