Thanks again for the replies people, CroatianDlite: apparently U can use a Ford o2 sensor, not too sure on what the model is though. I considered changing that but apparently the o2 sensor is only used by the car at idle? Can anyone confirm this?

Nah dude, the car is actually drinking a lot..

Dear all, I have done a search on the forums regarding poor fuel economy (R33 RB25DE Non-Turbo), however I am am at a bit of a loss on what I can do. After filling up on a full tank of Optimax last week, the needle was exactly at the 1/2 full mark at 200 km. Then the needle was at the 1/4 full mark at 240 km. I drive daily across town (less than 10 km each way) from home to work and back, usually in peak hour traffic, lots of stop-start driving. Since the last fill, I have driven about 100 km on the freeway @ 100 km/h. I do accelerate hard usually - revving out to ~5K rpm.. Judging by the smell of the exhaust gases it smells like it’s running rich (I can smell the exhaust from the cabin) but there is no noticeable smoke at all. Plugs changed not that long ago, different AFM tried, put in a new battery 2 weeks ago (so ECU is reset). My car is stock apart from aftermarket exhaust and pod filter. Usually I am getting approximately 350km off 50L of fuel.. (~15L/100km) What are other RB25DE owners getting in the way of fuel economy? What else can I do? cheers, chicane

Hey all, I'm over in elec eng @ unimelb.. I work there I've got a red R33 S1 GTS4.. Quite a few nice 'liners around the campus

Hi all, Spoke to the manager at the repair shop as well as the parts guy @ nissan bundoora.. He said that its Nissan JP's policy that parts are non-returnable.. however he would hold the part at his dealership until an order comes up for one, but it would be my money holding it, not his. The repairer said that if I sourced the bar, I would be up for another 200-400 to fit/paint it.. I said "hey but the paint should be included in the quote!" but he was sure that there would be more "work" needed to it to prep/fit it as opposed to the stock one supplied by Nissan.. Wondering now if it's more trouble going the aftermarket one now :D

Thanks for the replies people.. Wish I spoke to the panel beater earlier about getting a different bar.. I mean even though it is on order from JP Nissan (thru AU Nissan probably) if it hasn't been received it should be able to be cancelled yeah? I'll put these points to him when I speak to him on Tuesday and hopefully he will be a bit more helpful.. makes sense to go an aftermarket bar now rather than later! Will keep this thread updated. cheers chicane

Hi All, Spoke with the panel beater today.. he said that all replacement parts have been ordered from Nissan in Japan (Front Bar, Light assembly, etc, etc..) and that there will be at least another few weeks wait on it for them to arrive. Apparently once a "stock order" takes place you can't cancel it once its been processed. He said that a stock front bar costs $550 from Nissan, and after painting etc, about $750. On his recommendation I'm going to call back up on Tuesday to speak to the person at nissan about cancelling the front bar order and for me to order the nismo 400R replica one. How much work/fitting cost would apply to an aftermarket 400R bar? Are they ready to paint? Do they just bolt on? he estimated it could cost me an extra $500 or so to get it fitted and ready to paint.. is this true? Cheers chicane

Cheers

Hey there, What is the price breakdown for all items/combined price for a Nismo 400R kit for a S1 R33? Cheers chicane

Hi all, Recently I was involved in an accident when a ford fairmont failed to give way to me and has wrecked the front end of my R33 GTS4, with the impact just in front of the drivers side front wheel. This has resulted in ~$8000 damage, with the other guy being uninsured (and owning his car for less than a month, fully financed), Im thankful I paid the premium for full comprehensive. My insurance company has approved the repairs and I've been told there will be a wait on getting a new stock front bar. With the high price for brand new stock panels, what would be my chances of getting a (cheaper) aftermarket front bar? I'm thinking of calling/visiting in person the panel shop and asking them if i sourced a bar at a cheaper price (and paying a bit extra if need be) they would be fine with it? I'd probably do the full kit at the same time. Thoughts? Cheers, chicane

Hey Crack, I've got this problem as well on my R33 and tried to fix it back when i got my car - there is a thread on SAU [1] which I followed without much luck [2]. Would like to get this problem fixed once and for all.. [3] is worth a read too.

Many thanks Sewid! Fantastic guide, looks like im off to get an AP12! Cheers

........Replaced your R33 Antenna Assembly? - Because the motor died/stopped working - The telescopic bit is still straight and in good nick - Is it sitting around gathering dust? Let me know, I am after JUST the telescopic antenna mast for my R33 as I broke mine - Wreckers only want to sell me the full antenna assembly! Cheers Chicane

Hi all, I am after the telescopic antenna mast for an R33 (I don't require the motor, mine is fine!) So if anyone has replaced their antenna with an aftermarket one and have it just sitting around, let me know! cheers chicane
