if the o2 sensor does nothing or its still bad afterwards check:

coolant temp sensor - the 2wire one, can be replaced with any of the same colour

cam timing - my 32 was a tooth out, didn't realise and wondered my the rb20 was such a pos, the ppl i sold it to worked it out and it goes wicked sick now

also, i think i got about 700 out of a tank once with my turbo brick, but my tank holds about 65 litres

just change the motor for an rb25neo

Hey the afm has been cleaned and im all very jealous of your fuel economy, i had a chat to the old skyline owner and he said his fuel was about 350k to a tank and it went down to about 200k once and it turned out to be the afm. He suggested replacing it with a new one and do the O2 sensor. The coolant temp sender does work but seems to read a little low so i will change it. what ones work ? the reason my mechanic is finding it so hard to diagnose is it runs well and goes hard. He says most fuel economy issues are with cars that run crap. Im going to get a mates r32 on the scan tool as well and do a compare on everything. Ill also get the injectors tested soon maybe thats why the idle hints slightly because its getting an irregular spray of fuel

you say the temp reads a little low, now issues with the clutch fan? my little bro's 32 had a stuck clutch on his, and it made his economy bad. but having said that his car was slow and loud and cold because of it.

hey guys as far as i can tell the ecu is stock. my clutch fan is in working order and from the sounds of it injectors will appreciate a proper clean :) ill keep you posted. Thankyou everyone who has contributed to this topic. I have just scored a job and it seems like its going well. Oh and got a 8 week payout for un fair dismissal :P The first things i will do with my first pay check will be an O2 sensor and MAF these are the one im looking at. probably like most im looking to spend the least amount of many but still get semi decent stuff ( I know thats near impossible ) This is the o2 sensor can anyone confirm if it fine for rb20det as it says rb25 but apparently they are the same

And the MAF ( cheaper through the US because the aussie dollar is so strong)

what do you guys reckon ?

I wouldn't touch that AFM, looks too cheap to be true, and who the hell is "AIP Electronics". There's no gaurantee has the exact same calibration as a genuine JECS made AFM.. I would only go with genuine AFMs made by JECS

i'd try re-soldering your current afm before you try that one

maybe unplug your o2 sensor for a tank and see if you get better consumption

and deffinately get onto that cool running (check thermostat too? you can run an r33 one but its 82dec not 87 like r34's run)

in the tridon book it says 82

but i got a nissan r33 one with my timing belt on it and it said 76.5 i think

both run at about the same temp tho, so maybe they rate it differently (opening vs fully open?)

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
