When i bought my stock skyline (59000km old) i was getting 280-300 km per tank. I spoke to a guy who knows skylines and he said change the oxygen sensor and ill get 400+km easy. I Changed the sensor (i used an aftermarket NGK one if that makes any difference to anyone) and now still running BP98, still stock setup i get 480...maybe 500km if i really try. Thats with normal driving and the occasional "spirited" moment.

I know its a little bit different, but my AFM's have been shagged, meaning that i havent been able to drive over 2500 revs and i have done 635 odd K's from the last tank and i still have quarter of a tank left.

Normally, when the AFM's are fine i get about 500k's out of a tank, driving normal but not holding back on occasions.

were and how much are oxygen sensor's? and were abouts are they located on the car ?

Easy to fit. Go get one and if you cant fit it yourself let me know. I have a crows-foot tool which makes the job a hell of a lot easier. Job takes 10 minutes (thats with a bourbon and cigarette break of course) :laugh:

seems like connecting my O2 sensors has made a small difference! now I'm getting 420-440kms but last tank was a heavy right footed 360kms

YOU heavy right footed??? No, i would not believe that! ha ha

Correct me if i am wrong but GTR O2 sensors are genuine Nissan only and $400 each?

yeh its only when I wear my lead filled sneakers... usually its work shoes or thongs (true blue aussie :ninja: )

Wrong man to ask about O2 sensor pricing... anyone need any, call my bro at northside nissan (parts guy Adam "Chong" McGuinness). He sorted out a pair of GTR sensors for Trav (SLIPPERY) recently.

I have just changed my exhaust from 4 and quarter inch (yes i am aware its way too big, it was on it when i bought it)from cat back to a 3" cat back (Thanks Disko_Tek) and have just filled up tank. Lets see what that gets me!!

P.S. 4 and a quarter inch exhaust for sale. Nice note, shinny cannon on back. Will make good paperweight or door stop. :)

  • 3 weeks later...

my best ever... 492km and there was still about 8-9L in the tank!

I am assuming its the warmer air would be the cause of the recent increase in economy... jumin up from a usuall 410-420... although I did cruise to mandurah and back doing the speed limit the whole way (no thrashing at all).

I can get you NGK sensors if you require them. Cost $65. I have deliveries out of the east every week so its never more than a week away if you need it. should be able to fit it yourself if you have a crows foot tool.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
