^^ it has fixed my problem so i think that was it.. Other than that, i havnt changed anything to the car at all!!

Got told by my mechanic that it will improve it, which it has.. Might not help on all cars, but im happy..

Im not to sure if you can just empty it.. Shouldnt cost you that much.. If you really keen let me know and i will go talk to my mechanic again and ask him exactly what it will do..

he just suggested me to change it, seemed fine ever since..

I "know a guy" who has the manifold > charcoal cannister lines disconnected altogether, and he is getting excellent fuel economy. 400 - 450 k's before the fuel light comes on (mildly modded series 1 R33 with tuned PFC)

I don't think it's the cannister......

ok had the afrs checked again today and the mechanic pulled about 10% fuel out aparantly.. ive done about 70km havnt seen any amazing results quite yet.... does seem slightly better at this stage though..

ive just filled up with a full tank now so i can compare accuratly i guess...

hmmm my o2 sensor is *still* cycling between 0.5 - 0.6 volts however, which is what it was doing before i had the retune today... It does show diff numbers sometimes but mainly .5 - .6

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
