Hi guys.

Ive recently bought an auto 1998 stagea with a Neo rb25de and i have noticed that i have been getting around 280km to a tank, this seems pretty low even with around town driving?

I have run a diagnosis and it came back with code 55 which as i understand it means that it is all clear.

It doesnt run rough on start up or when warmed up but it does blow white smoke during high revs.

Possily a faulty o2 sensor??

Im new to the nissan game so just looking for ideas or advice.

Thanks

That appears to be abnormally high, but might not be depending on how much fuel you put in the tank.

To be more meaningful it should be litres per hundred kilometers.

I would recommend replacing the O2 sensor on any old car as they all stop working.

Also checking the resistance of the ecu temp sensor (should be able to find that info online) or with a consult cable if you happen to have one checking what temperature the ecu thinks the engine is at when at operating temperature.

I would chuck some new plugs in it for the sake of it and check the timing is set correctly.

So it is non turbo?

Thanks for the tips.

Its around 25L/100km i believe and yes it is non turbo.

That's way over the top. I get 12 - 15 l/100km from my RB30 turbo. You should be getting around 12.

On the other hand it is a heavy car and if you keep your foot flat like any car you can get poor mileage.

Replace the O2 sensor (don't think it will make a huge difference) and have a look at the plugs.

Jack the wheels up and make sure no brakes are binding.

Put a timing light on it (put a short lead between the coil and no 1 plug).

Make sure you are measuring the consumption properly (use the trip recorder of which there are two for some reason and calculate when you fill up again).

i thought my fuel consumption was high at ~ 13-14L/100km for a stock RS Four S turbo

i've been meaning to change O2 sensor but haven't got around to it yet . . .

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
