I just had my o2 sensor replaced with an OEM Nissan one ($173) on my R33 Gts25t. I've put in that Nulon stuff before, did nothing basically. I was getting 360km to a tank max before the o2 sensor replacement. I'm trialling it now with the new one so I'll let you know how I go. Car still smells like it's running very rich though. Maybe that's just how Skylines are?

If this doesn't work then I'll have to look at getting a SAFC3.

BTW, the only mods I have are a 3 inch exhaust and K&N hi-flow panel filter.

360km to the tank? i wish i was getting that. my last tank only lasted me 200km with hardly any boost. i also replaced my o2 sensor recently - but no luck there.

not really sure what else i can do but take it to the mechanic for a look/tune =(

ehhh do that asap.

Anyhow, had pretty much given up on it.. but I thought I'd give one last thing a try -- some injector cleaner. Have always been pretty skeptical on them as nothing more than snake oil in a bottle, and tried it a couple of times on other cars and no difference. But this time its seem to make a fair bit of difference.

Economy is now down to about 11L/100km highway, and 12-13L/100km city. Which is about a 2-3L / 100km saving.. which in the end means I'm saving about $2-3 every 100km.. not bad for a $10 bottle!

For what its worth I used Nulon injector cleaner. After 1 tank pretty much the improvement was obvious. Now I've done 500-600km things are pretty much obvious there is a clear difference.

With the old RB20DET I used to run the Nulon Total Fuel system cleaner every 5000km's. It kept fuel economy up around the 10-11l/100km's.

I then stopped running the stuff and fuel economy dropped to around 350km's per tank where I began experiencing starting and drivability issues. I thought it may have been the o2 sensor so I replaced it with a genuine nissan item. Still no improvement.

Ripped the injectors out, new in and all was good, fuel economy back to normal. :)

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
