I've just brought a new O2 sensor and will change it soon, will let you guys know if it has helped my wallet. Mods that I have are a 3" exhaust from turbo back, FMIC, pod filter (with CAI set up), runs at 10 psi. I've also changed my fuel filter recently and my plugs as well, and am using an injector cleaner regularly (Redline). I also have an Emanage but it isn't tuned yet (this factor won't be helping me any either).

Does an atmo BOV make that much difference?

I've got an R33 S1

3 inch exhaust all the way to the turbo

pod filter

atmo BOV (pssshhhhttttt!!!).

Standard boost.

I dont know how much fuel i'm using yet, havent really had it long enough to take note.

But i can tell it's going thru a fair bit more than i thought it would.

When i hear that pod filter sucking air, i can feel my wallet emptying.

Is this normal?

City driving in 4th, doing about 60kph, sitting on around 2200rpm.

Does rpm seem a bit high?

I drive an R32 GTR on 12psi with 245rwkw.

City = 500kms

Hwy = 600kms

R32 has 60L tank.

Jason.

Why do i feel scepticle about those figures ??

I have a r33 gts-t with a pod, so i wouldn't be getting much more than 250hp at flywheel, I get 500 km

dun know nothin bout ur type of car what size motor u runnin? that is extremely bad fuel economy bro i'd b broke all the time!! 1 my mates got a bombed 355ci stroker powered commodore thats off its tits and it only averages around 18-19L/100km around town..

its the RB25DET NEO the same as the r34 gtt

fuel is killing me!

Just removed my old O2 sensor and am about to install the new one. When I took the old one off and shook it, it sounded like a set of maraccas! Definetely busted (and no I didn't shake it so much that it broke, it was like that when I took it off). The old O2 sensor was very easy to remove, I had no problems with the heat shield getting in the way because... I never had one! Either I never had one when I brought the car (4 years ago) or when I put the new exhaust on the installer never put it back on. Hmmmm... :P

This might be totaly wrong, but I used to Own a commodore, and I know when ever the battery got old in the thing, my fuel consuption would drop from about 500 km's to 350 km's out of a standard 60L tank, and when i saw this happening, I would replace the battery, and it would always bring the fuel consuption right again.

I have talked to a few mechanics, and they said, when a car's battry is starting to get old, it will not put as much powerinto the ECU and computer, and there for is not working at its peak. So you will always seem to use more fuel cos the computer is just pumping the fuel through and not shutting down when it is ment to. Or some crap like that.

All i know is it worked for the commodore, maybe someone can try it and let me know if it works with a skyline too.

    • Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.
    • Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?
    • Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.
    • If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
