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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
