Need help! (service, fuel problems)


Recommended Posts

Well, I've just calculated that I'm getting about 250km on a full tank on my R32 GTR. Most of the driving is during traffic and below 100kmh (never been on a highway yet).

Is something wrong? I'm not pushing it hard, driving it leisurely. I have a feeling that its running rich or something needs replacing.

So, if I take it for service how do I ask to get it checked for this problem? i.e. My car is running a bit rich, how do I make it run a little more efficiently because I don't need the extra power or early boost for daily driving. Could someone guild me to how to ask this in Japanese? Thanks!

as a baseline figure, the city cycle for an unmodified r32 GTR should be around the 4.7km/l mark (according to driver magazine)*

* FD of the same era, according to driver, is around 5.6km/l - for those who are always pick on our fuel economy :(

Mate 250km on a full tank!...as Rezz suggested I'd check the CPU.

As 250km is as bad as mine on city driving and I've only got a 50L tank compared to 72L in a BNR32.

As a reference 10-15mode is 7.0km/L and 8.2km/L (after '93 model).

Hey thanks people.

My car's a late 91.

I can smell petrol in the cabin when I drive so something's going on there.

So I have to check the following :

- ECU (would I need to reflash this regardless of whether its stock or not?)

- O2 sensor

Thanks again.

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
