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.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
