Hey guys, got my series 2 rs-four stag about 2 months ago, loving it i must say! Only thing i don't love is the fuel consumption, i have just done 330km to just under a full tank and i spent 90% of that time off boost.

Alot of people talk about it being the O2 Sensor, so i pulled mine out to check the condition of it, to me it seems in pretty good nick (car has done a touch over 100k's).

another thing is the guy i bought it from lived way out in the country side, and i live in the city, so an ecu reset is probably a good idea, but after 2 months i would have thought the car would have adjusted by now.

cheers matt

No matter how it looks if it is the original one it is overdue for replacement.

If you want to test it here is a comprehensive "how to":

or buy a new one:

(for some reason the S2 is more than twice the price of the S1)

To reset the ecu disconnect the battery (and pump the brake pedal a few times to " drain residual electricity" - sounds hokus to me but eveyone says to do it!) and then reconnect after 30 seconds.

No matter how it looks if it is the original one it is overdue for replacement.

the only real test is a consult test , but as previous member said ,if its original and done more than 40K it needs replacing,

If thats the case i'll replace it, shouldn't be a problem. I will get the EL falcon sensor though and chop the wires.

did the ecu reset today and got probably 40km's out of 1/4 tank and that was trashing it abit, too soon to really tell i suppose.

Are u saying replace o2 sensor every 40,000 k? I've had my original replaced but it was probably about that many k's ago and I think I may be getting worse economy again recently, though that could also have been the hot weather, and for original poster I don't know if u have found out but the sensors are like 120 from memory got mine from rockdale Nissan no dramas

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
