realised my o2 sensors were fitted but the plastic conectors were not hooked up. Now they are hooked up the car seems to run a little better and I am hoping the km's/tank will go up a little. Just filled up today 65L of the good stuff... lets see how long it lasts.

Interesting..

Ive allways gone BP Ultimate in my import cars but I have heard this about Vortex 3 times now..

maybe we should do our own little mythbusters style test and see how it turns out..

Vortex Vs BP ultimate..

i found that i can get a few more k's outta vortex but watch the pinging increase. not worth it ! i think vortex is only 95. will only use it in the middle of winter if i need to. think the vortex 98 is even better than bp98 but dont sell it over here :P

hmmm im going to have to fill up the tank in the zed and try this cos she drinks fuel like nothing on earth - thought she would be better than the Skyline but seems to be the same. On her little information dial thing she reckons she's getting 7.8L per 100 ..... which is like corolla fuel useage and she certainly drinks more than that .... maybe i just didnt see the 1 in front of the 7 ..... cos 17.8L per 100 would be far more accurate in my opinion.

Niz, you can work it properly with the trip meter. Completely fill it up and reset the trip meter. Next time you fill up take down how many liters you put in and the KM's you did and work it out from there.

Its something like Liters * 100 / kilometers

i managed to finaly get 400 km out of a tank on shell premium, yeehhhaaaa.

pity its only 95 octane

ihave heard shell and caltex have made an arrangement with bp ( the only fuel supplier in W.A.) to carry 98 octane

so it looks like no matter where we buy our 98 octane it will be bp ultimate just re labeled either shell or caltex

I'm lucky to get 350km to a tank running 7psi all the time. I'm gonna try some injector cleaner and might try cleaning the sensors. But I'm in the city the whole time and my foot is quite heavy so I don't think I'm doing too badly though. Tell you what, it's a shock after driving a charade for seven years! I used to get 500km to a 35L tank of fuel doing the same sort of driving. 600km if I was doing country runs.

I do hwy driving but also stop start driving and get about max. 580km out of the tank, but average is around 530km with the fuel light just coming on and takes 55 litres its a 65 litre tank.

Thats with a little bit of lead footing as well so its not bad for such a powerful car other four cylinder cars I have owned only get like 650km so the extra couple of dollars means nothing for the performance enhancement.

I run mainly Vortex 98 or V-Power - Haven't tried the V-Power Racing as yet only because every shell i pull into I can't seem to get the bowser with it, but anyone know if putting that ethanol blend in the skylines is bad? As I have heard different things and not sure whethers it a good idea to try or not.

98 R34 GT-T Sedan.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
