That sucks hard... No wonder that SAU'ers try and do as much work as possible themselves..... I dont like leaving my car overnight in a workshop - but as previously mentioned, it should come under the workshops insurance. Well If the thieves knew what they were after - surely they would have also taken diagnostic equipment, tools. It does sound like a inside job. Cheers Sumo

Whats a truck weigh? I doubt that its too much more then a gtst if any... And the 91 Nissan Navara 4x4 petrol version came with a 2.4ltr - so the RB25 should cope pretty easily. Cheers Matt

Mr G, its a posibility that the AFM you have is a bit shonky. Have you got a mate you can swap with for a while and see how you go? Cheers Sumo

A bit more information may help..... Are we running stock boost, standard ECU, standard turbo?

I would be keen on the lip by itself..... G/f cracked mine on me

Hahahaha Walk up to him and ask him if he is Ronald McDonald

No worries mate.... Well I thought I would do a search and posted the results.... Im not up on the resolutions of AFM's... yet

My boss thinks its funny to see what damage the apprentice can do to himself by waiting until he right into a job in the engine bay and giving the horn a toot. Its one joke he never grows tired of..... :bonk: Goodwork with the time.... It doesn't suprise me no one would stop, maybe if they wanted to mug you they might have pulled over. Cheers Sumo

I just remembered their is some bloke in here that has put an RB20 into a 240sx in here from America... he might be able to fill you in on how to get around the steering columb issues. Cheers Sumo

Well at a guess you have either thrown an exhaust wheel on your turbo or blown a hose from between the turbo to the intake manifold. Does the car still idle fine?

Well mate, I honestly think you'll have to be creative with your exhuast manifold and turbo placement if its Left hand drive. As for looking like a sleeper, well you will need a fair bit of clearance if the turbo has to be moved upwards to miss a steering rack and your dump pipe will have to be made up to go around it also. Im not saying it cant be done, I just hope that your a boilermaker by trade and you shouldn't have to many issues. Then once thats complete, you'll need your mechanical and electrical trades in your back pocket to get her up and running Cheers Sumo

You dont want to convert a N/A to turbo.... More hastle then its worth - from what it would cost your better off just buying a turbo one to start with.

What can I say... They have run out of ideas?

Fully tuned? for what, biggest power delivery or easy cruising. Its hard to tune for both I would think. Thats where nissan engineers design a happy medium. But as geoff said, You boost it up - the computer compenstates by throwing oodles of fuel at its problem.... Cheers Sumo

A SAFC should be able to lean things out a bit. Geoff I would have thought the ECU should have displayed a fault code if you unplug it.

Is always good to hear on what kind of results people get by trying different things. I have never really taken notice how many kms I get to my tank in the 33. I always forget to check the trip meter or reset it.. By all means if you can replace the O2 sensor and run an injector cleaner (I used Caltex Techron 5000 to get rid of my nasty injector noise my car got from 5hit fuels we get out here in the country) , If it produces no result, back to the drawing board - but if it does your set Cheers Matt

Mate, Im not too sure what would produce better fuel economy. If everything is checking out fine I would look at your driving styles, the right foot controls most of your economy. Blocked injectors I would think you would have worse trouble then bad economy - but it is plausable. Small things produce better economy as in good quality engine oil, clean air filters, pumped up tires, quality fuel, IAC working properly (your car adjusts idle as it warms up?). Im not to sure on what kind of memory capability the skyline has, but maybe its worth erasing that by undoing the battery and pushing the brake pedal. Should reset a few values the car "learns" about different throttle and load positions. Cheers Sumo

An O2 sensor will not change the soot being produced at full throttle. The O2 sensor is only used when the ECU goes into closed loop mode - which is at idle/cruising. The ECU at full throttle looks at the AFM signal and tries it best to make decisions based on that reading. It doesn't try and lean it out till things are nice cruisey, less risk of leaning a motor out and causing damage. Cheers Matt

Best way to check it would be to put an voltmeter on it and look at the feed back you get from it. If they are replacing them with ford EL ones, I would near say that you could get the specs out of the ford service manual or a Gregory's EFI manual. I would think that it would take a reference voltage and modify it. I doubt it would be a signal generating one. But, if it is a signal generator you would have to get a oscilloscope. At a edumacated guess, at 3 wires it should be a potentiometer you will have an input 5-12V, an Earth, and an output which should vary - thats the one you want to monitor. Cheers Sumo

Love your sig nexus9

Really what gave you that idea? :sarcasm: I wonder how many of the 89 gtr's have their original km's. Like most cars that come from Japan..... Cheers Matt

Hold your wheel left or right hand down, it sucks just to do a skid. A donut is much better More impressive too. Cheers Matt

Hrmm, Lets bash a commodore thread.... Common boys and girls get in on the action. I would buy a VZ Commodore if I had the money, but I didn't and had to settle for a R33 GTST. I love my worn out suspension, and crunching g'box on my car which has only done 80 000kms. Also, theirs nothing like buying a skyline thats already had 2 engine rebuilds in its lifetime due to "reliability" problems. Yet a lot of people can overlook these problems, and bag a commodore :dump:

Sounds great Gengis. I have a refridgerator white QM1 r33 also that needs a touch up. I didnt know Repco could make up touch up cans. Cheers Sumo
