02 sensor checking
both have been done. ecu test 1st, both were fine, then still not convinced so took it to zworld for conzult, still the same result of both fine. i know this seem conclusive but like ive mentioned in the 1st post, with them disconnected fuel usage is the same as with connected, and apparently with them disconnected the car should run 'rich'....

Whats your MPG!!
LOL you guys are right, its soooooooooooo much fun on high boost. (boost controller) but to be fair their not that fast, and most cars as fast use alot less petrol , e36 and e46m3 are about as fast and can happily see 25+ even as car mad said, his supra can do over 27.. had my car on conzult, everythings fine. just had the engine rebuilt too, with re-conditioned turbos ( ALL DONE IN SEPT) weird.....

02 sensor checking
JIMMER. i hoped so too, but it actually didnt, use any more than it did with them connected. Hence my little experiment, and this was over a full tank, so brimmed it with 70 quid, then went on my way until i got back on red. 180 miles later!

02 sensor checking
cost isnt the issue here, its using the same amount of fuel it uses, the problem if i didnt explain it is. is uses the same amount of fuel with the 02 sensors plugged in, as it does with them disconnected, so if once disconnected its running 'rich' why isnt it using more fuel. but apparantly the 02 sensors are fine. milage is the problem i do 160-185 max to a tank and thats 70 quid every 2-3 days, and its tedious watching the gauge to estimate if i can make it to destinations, or need to fuel up. usually get 14-16 mpg, never anymore and that is inclusive of motorway driving, done a 200 mile trip all on the motorway under 75 the whole way and it was in red at about 160 odd so refuled, and came back, same result.

So after a couple of months of Z ownership......
tried the falkens, ok in dry shit in wet. michellin PS3 very good in dry. awful in wet, budgets, crap dry, crap wet. best for me so far has benn maxxis,, great in dry, great in wet. but may be personal preferance. and car setup. corenering grip was ok on all, but if you nail in in the wet most spin in 3rd which is not good.

Whats your MPG!!
mines 14-16 too and its pissing me off as i know it should be more,. yes i can afford it, but as car mad says, we shouldnt have to, seeing as other cars are doing 22-26. i can never beat 18 even on a 300 mile round trip on motorways. full tank ges me 160-185 miles. and thats 70 quid every 2-3 days. seeing as its my daily driver. i too would like to know whats going on as most seem to get 250 -300 miles to their tanks.

02 sensor checking
After having a conzult check performed on my car, i got the result of O2 sensors, and MAF working correctly. Having not being convinced, i tested the 02 sensors by disconnecting them and runnning the car to see if it made any difference, but sadly it didnt in terms of fuel usage. now would this suggest they're actually faulty? and i need replace them, the only thing left is 02 sensors or MAF to replace as everything else has been done. fuel pump and filter fuel damper and pressure regulator fuel hoses fuel tank spark plugs. injectors.

Japspeed decat pipes with silencers on Turbo model fitting help
has anyone has a problem with the fitting of these on their car, in particular the right side touching the body of the car at the front slightly, and if so how did you rectify this? ive had mine fitted and they match up great, but just where the bend is it thouches the underside of the car on under the drives side.
