Hey Nastazia...is the tank empty though...ie when you fill up how many litres can you squeeze in? Reason I say that is the fuel senders in the 33 can be a bit dodgy sometimes and give a false reading. Should definitely be getting more than 250km in a fairly stock skyline.

Well I mean, I've only ever let it run onto red light once in 6 months or so... so I never fill it up from scratch. If I granny drive ALL the time I will get about 280 but yea It's pretty sht seeing as I live in the Vines and do around 500 - 600km per week :D

Tell you what.... next time you fill up keep a check of the actual litres you put in......it is a better way of telling how far you have gone on how much fuel. On mine when it is reading 1/4 left I usually still have at least 30-35 litres :D

once i cleaned the AFM on my old 33 gtst i got 600-620 / tank!

in the GTR im lucky to get around 520-540 / tank

600-620!!!! man i think i might see if that works on mine, i useually get 400-500 from a tank and thats about a 50/50 mix of highway and city (with the more than occasional thrash) driving using vortex or mobil premium, long distance best i got was just under 10L to the 100

this is the thing though.... how many people really get a skyline from japan....change the O2 sensor, clean injectors, clean afm, perhaps clean throttle body...if we all kinda started from a similar starting point engine care wise...we could all be similar perhaps

i havent been through a tank on the 34 yet..but its looking to be about 450...but thats the first tank of heavy right foot driving..

^ The general answer would be yes, but all performance cars are on the rich side to be safe. From just one personal experience where I seen it first hand, I was behind Topaz when he put his foot down & he blew black smoke, I did as well and in my rear view I seen it as well (not letting a gtr get away easily now :)). If black smoke is coming out under normal acceleration, then you worry but otherwise for the type of car it's normal.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
