Hot Cabin & Low Fuel Milage

Just recently, I've noticed a few changes in my car.

Firstly the Cabin gets really hot even without heater on.

I know the engine is F-Mid mount which means its closer to the cabin but I only recently noticed it.

Any ideas?

Secondly my fuel consumption is very high. I filled up 20 litres last week with BP Ultimate 98RON and only did about 80 km on it. That's insane.

I posted here sometime last year that I was doing between 10-11 Litres per 100km. Now I can barely reach 100km per 20 L !

And honestly, I was not driving hard nor was I on the track! Kept revs at low 3000rpm before changing gears (although in heavy traffic last week).

Time for a Tune you think?

Nothing. Changed to braided brake lines, slotted roters, new pads and new brake fluid. Thats all.

Also changed my oil just over 5000km ago. Using Mobil1 5W-30 and Mobil1 EP oil filter.

I doubt any of these are a factor??

I dont carry much weight in the car, only a few things like essential tools, spare tyre and a pillow. Maybe I lay off the carbs and charcole chicken with garlic sauce for a month. lol

Would a tune help with my fiuel economy?

How's the fuel filter? The air filter? Throttle body gummed up? You sure you used that amount of fuel, or is your car like mine, the fuel gauge has mind of it's own? My car says we have done 100km's on half a tank and then sits at half way until about 260km's, mean while fluctuating in this time. To be safe I fill up at 300km's. I will be cleaning the sensors in the tank soon.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

The brakes aren'y sticking at all. Well doesnt feel like it. I took it to EC a week after installation, and the car stopped lol, so I think it's installed properly.

As for the Throttle body, unless there's a YouTube clip on How-To, that's too advanced for me! Will need to get someone to look at that.

Doing a self service on it next month. I'll see what I can find.

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard
