^^ 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

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
