I often Kramer it, and In my series 1 when the fuel is low the light comes on and it tries to stall around left hand corners! the most fuel it has ever taken is 63l allowing for a comfortable 2l. Best k's ever was about 580, average is about 300.

My car seems to like V power racing, finally no pinging!

:P I do that in my Van, because I hate filling it up during the day. I got like 560 out of it once, but like you said, it started cutting out

Can someone confirm if the fuel light turns on when in ingnition for a R32?

Mine doesn't light up and wondering if this was a feature added into r33+ :(

I have a 93 R32 GTS-T and the fuel light does not light up when turning on the ignition.

And incase you are wondering, the fuel light in my car does work because it came on today when i parked at work, i parked on the side of the road and the road dips a lot into the ditch so the car was on an angle and the light was on. When i pulled away after work the light wasnt on and the fuel gauge rose a bit again, but regardless it had done 500km so i knew it was time to fill up, but it took 51.5lts, so it wasnt terribly low!

holy shit. 525km on the trip meter, im lucky if i get 300km. i usually get around 280km. i cant believe it sorry mate it just amazed me to see someones skyline doin that. i got mates that get around 450 max, i got a bloody dud skyline i tell ya. it does like a bat out of hell but standard injectors and computer. dont know whats going on

That's pretty bad fuel consumption, something definately not right there!! I always get 10 - 11/lts per 100km and a lot of that is in busy traffic and when im not in traffic im often stretching its legs. Overall i dont drive it that hard but i certainly dont putter around! Has your consumption been like this since you got the car? Might be worth putting it on a dyno and checking the a/f ratio's etc...

It changes from orange to red >_<

I don't understand? are you saying it comes on orange when you are low, and if it gets lower then it goes red? i've only ever seen mine as an orange light.... But i have never let my fuel tank get really really low.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
