Kako si :D

Give us a call on 9631 2470 after 6:30pm tonight and we can book you in to look at your car.

It sounds like your oxy sensor is shot and just needs to be replaced. The cost of the sensor is around $100 (bosch not nissan) and around $70 to install/wire in.

If you pop the hood, and check out the pipe heading off the rear of the turbo you'll see a plug like thing sticking out of the pipe. That's your O2 sensor.

I'm getting about 320km's to a tank (down to 1/4) and that is driving "sanely" (only occasionally giving it a quick squirt), and my car (white) is always covered in black soot. I reckon it's running rich. What does everyone else think?

wil..

I've got exactly the same problem CroatianDlite. I'm going to get my o2 sensor changed first I think.

where are you going to get your part from? nissan or bosch? or other? please tell me... when are you going to do it?

see i still get the worst fuel economy... its such BS. if i didnt just respray my car i swear i would of traded it in by now... but i just love the rest of the car... haha.

could be a couple of things,  

1)  a leak where the new unleaded only filler cap got installed for compliance,

2) a leaking/cracked fuel hose

3) leaking fuel tank

i get a bit of fuel vapor out my filler through the breather hole, but i still get 500Km per tank so i havent worried about it!

just something you could have a look for!!

I am thinking that Craved breathes that 'bit of vapour' in through his nose!! :cheers: 500 km per tank(?)....have u got the 4 banger version engine? :wave:

no disrespect intended friend, but I would be proud of that!!

Spit.

ps.I too get that smell,at those times, and always seems to be when my girlfwend gets in the car

I had petrol smell in my GTR when I first got it and found the problem to be the first option in what craved said, the unleaded only filler cap was not installed correctly and the whole thing just popped out. As for your "Stuttering" problem....it could be two things.. 1) faulty fuel pump or 2) faulty turbo. My brother had this exact problem on his 180SX...turned out being the turbo...

i have noticed that the fuel filler thing is kinda loose.

as for ur second answer... all i can say is DAMN lol... hmmm im geting the O2 sensor done tomorrow - so ill see how it goes. then get back to you all ok :cheers:

  • 2 years later...

i had an issue, where in one car it had a bosch fuel pump installed and where the cap on tod of the tank screws down to hold the pump, the rubber seal bit up there was leaking, very much the same thing, really crap economy, very familure smell of fuel... i just replaced the rubber bit & re tightened it up and hey presto... i also was noticing a small puddle when i filled that car right up... just a thought

I have the direct replacement NTK o2 sensors in stock to suit the R33 GTS25 & GTS25-t. They are $130.50 delivered via express post. Details can be found within the following thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=135194

Has anyone actually had a look for a leak in the fuel system?

Leaks in the intake pipwork or manifold?

Cleaned the MAF?

Has anyone TESTED your purge canister?

Has anyone TESTED the coolant temp sensor?

Has anyone TESTED the O2 sensor?

Has anyone TESTED the coil packs?

Why start replacing parts if these items haven't been tested or checked?

Most regular mechanics would have no bloody idea of where to start. The first step to solving a problem is identifying the syptoms, second step is understanding the system.

Goodluck....and if you need to know how to test any of the sensors or perform any of the checks, PM me and I'll run through them with you.

sounds like every r33 has fuel consumption issues

i too get the smell of fuel vapours and can see them when reversing on a hot day

apparnlety its the seal of the fuel cap to tank

ive replaced my o2 sensor (bosch) made only a small difference

not sure what else to try fixing

have even adjusted my tune for better economy

can manage 350/370 around town

not sure on the highway

my sparkies are a couple months old. put in platinum spark plugs, straight from nissan... cost me a bit too.

tuned - i havnt ahd it tuned... what exactly am i looking for when i get it tuned??

i mena its had a service and all that ... every 5000kms or so....

That's your problem.

Nissan give out the wrong plugs.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
