Today im a proud owner of a r33 Skyline, went for my first fillup of BP ultimate and for some reason the car started leaking petrol during fillup from the nozzle hole! Now before anyone jumps to conclusions,

the tank was empty by the guage and i only put in 20ltrs cause its a thurs and fuel is $1.54!!!

Any ideas on why?

Hey all, new to the forum so first post.

Sorry to hijack a bit but didnt want to go creating a new thread. I also have just obtained an R33 and also just put in a tank of BP Ultimate. My question is, is the TERRIBLE fuel consumption im getting normal? I read on a link from these forums that it should get 9.8L per 100km. Well, I put in a full tank, set the tripmeter and it looks like ill get about 250km out of the tank (its nearly empty, filled it up tuesday)

Just wondering, Is that normal? I mean I know I shouldn't expect great ecconomy from a v6 Turbo but 250km's according to my math is 26L/100km Wtf?

ummm straight 6 turbo .

depending on your driving style and whether its city or country driving ..

std r33 gtst should see from 350-500 kms per tank..

o2 sensor on the exhaust would be main culprit other than thrashing the car

sorry straight 6. Used to saying v6 from my old car :P

newly complied ?

dodgy compliance change to the restricted unleaded nozzle hole on the filler pipe..

Yes just complied the other day, how does that affect the pump and make the fuel overflow?

and how do i check?

Thanks for the replies ppls btw

is your car stock, any engine work etc... if so maybe not tuned, but if its a stocka i think you might have a problem, try cleaning your injectors and the fuel tank might help a little

Japan and australia use different nozzles, there for the hole must be changes...

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
