was reading on another forum that

before i was gettin like 300, until i replaced the charcole canister.. seems to better now..

could this help?

i believe my charcole canister is unhooked

ok, have replaced my o2 sensor with the ngk one for an r33 gts-t

part number 0ZA395E2AB

no difference to economy so far :yes:

what else can cause poor fuel economy

i dont get more than 300ks a tank from a 200rwkw gts-t (via usual mods, powerfc etc)

Changing the O2 sensor alone when you have a PowerFC won't really help. As cubes said, chuck it on the dyno and get your low RPM and low load cells checked out. Try get the tuner to tune them as close to 14.7:1 as he can, and then let the PowerFC O2 feedback do the rest.

Does anyone have a yes/no answer as to whether a O2 sensor from an R33 GTST will fit and work on an R33 GTR? It doesnt matter about plug type i just want to know whether it fits in the thread and works with the computer, an answer would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

ayone got an answer for the above?

Pic of what I did with the stock plug and an EL Falcon oxygen sensor:

Btw NGK have a direct replacement for the RB25DET engine. Part Number OZA395-E2. ~$125 - $145 from repco

Needs some heat shrink around the individual wires will do that tonite.

just purchased this earlier today and installed it/took it for a drive earlier and it seems to fixed a few issues i had. 1/ doesnt seem to hunt on idle anymore 2/ it now boosts better then before 3/ it rev's more freely. at the same time, i changed my fuel filter which i think assisted with the change in characteristics

ok, let me correct no. 2

i use to have a kinda surge feeling when i boosted it. it would only boost to about .1 bar when the accelerator was flattened and just feel like its lost all power and then pick up again. makes it feel really bad and kinda like its cutting out and then boosting again - if that makes sense. now however, it boosts fine and feels like it pulls harder. i drive the thing so i would know the before and after effects. but having said that, technically wouldnt a working o2 sensor help the ecu adjust its a/f ratio when boosting?

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
