what car, what mods, do you get black smoke? do you see any fuel coming out? what happens when you floor it? sounds like dead 02 sensor without knowing any more information

Hey guys, yeah its really wierd..

mods are 3" exhaust, 3" dump pipe and pod filter..

stock everything else... i took it in to get it looked at they tested it..

the O2 sensor was going nuts, but then he checked another R33 and wa doing the same thing.. i think they are going to change the spark plugs and dyno run it... see whats going on.

is there anyway to tell if the fuel reg is screwed without having to anoy a mechanic ?? any simple checks ?

could be a faulty fuel reg... but even then... i still had 200km's to a tank whe mine died

slap a pressure gauge on and go for a drive.

you'll soon workout if its working.

although, all you do is rev the car while its sitting there and if it belches some nice fuel cloud then its pretty certain.

Mine filled a workshop with fuel vapour/cloud after a good 5 revs. IT was a big cloud :)

I checked the pressure like 3 years ago when i shat one... the fuel cloud i knew from, but checked it anyhow as i was bored.

I cant remember what its meant to be

Are you saying it is using a lot of fuel by reading the gauge?

Cause the fuel level sender can come off its bracket pretty easy. I know mine has done it in the past.

Might be worth checking. Sometimes it is the simple things.

The TV show Top Gear reported getting 4 mpg in a Ford GT40 doing burnouts etc. on a race track. That is about 60L/100kms full throttle on a race track. If you can beat that whilst driving off boost, it can only mean a fuel leak somewhere. I cannot imagine fuel consumption THAT high just from poor tuning.

I was thinking huge injectors with PFC in japan and they replaced the

PFC with a stock computer to sell it but even then it would run like shit and not use that much fuel.

I would say you have a leaky injector/s, a hole in the pressurised supply side of the fuel system. or a V8 holden lives in your petrol tank :rolleyes:

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
