mine must have something not really running right cause i only get 270-300 out of a tank of 98 octane, mind you it's all stop start driving and my right foot weighs a tonne so i dunno. Front mount, 3 inch cat back, and a mushroom shaped filter. Any comments??

change the filter, not the best flow, but the worst filtration

also, check your o2 sensor (or have it checked), just find someone with a consult cable

Air Filter Shoot Out.pdf

definitely something wrong, check for boost leaks and go from there

o2 sensor will cause bad fuel consumption but not that bad

could also be leaking injectors or even bigger injectors (jap fitted) that just run with the stock ecu (but i doubt this)

It's got a PFC but I don't know what the tune is like.

To be honest, I suspect there may be a fuel leak. The turbo whine sounds very, very different to my R33 and I have a feeling what I can hear is actually compressed air escaping.

The guy who owned it before me said a few issues arose after he put the FMIC on it. It fouls plugs like a bastardo. The ones in it have done about 150ks and it's already starting to struggle at full throttle. I also noticed today that with the eboost turned right down, it's struggling to achieve 6psi of boost. It was comfortably boosting to 7psi which is stock.

sounds like you have a few issues there

you'd smell a fuel leak

prob a boost leak

then get a touch up tune and make sure they re-activate the o2 sensor

In my rx m35 driving home from work through hills and lights screen is telling me between 7.9/9.2km/l. so bout 11 - 13.2 lts per 100km. Just driving normal keeping of boost as much as possible. Cant help up hills though. Not too bad I think. For a stock as a rock with only k&n panel filter

had a quick look at afm appears the clippy bit on the plug is broken so nothing actually holding the plug in tight, probably be the problem. Now to find a new plug to wire in, none on ebay atm tho.

i just did 553kms in my m35 on e10 with some mods done and i also had a play as well.not too bad i thought

What mods have you done out of curiosity?

That's pretty good economy. Was it mainly highway driving or a bit of 'peak hour' thrown in there?

I thought that was about average for a mix of city & highway.thumbsup.gif

Even with my leaden clog, that's fairly achievable. How do you find it on e10? I tried running our daily on it; but the car just didn't agree with it, so I never even tried the Stagea.

Over the last few days did a return trip to Canberra. Since I last posted my economy on the last trip of 11.3L/100km and 9.3L/100km I have made a couple of mods.

I have installed a new larger suction pipe and installed Scotts special turbo actuator that has an additional spring fitted to it to keep the waste gate closed on low rpm and hold boost to high rpm.

This last trip got 11.3L/100km on the Sydney - Canberra leg and included 5 days commuting in Canberra.

Return trip from Goulburn - West Ryde where I filled up was 9.0L/100km. I saw a low of 8.6L/100km before I got into Sydney traffic.

I have an Exhaust Gas Temperature probe fitted and can see with these mods that car is running a little leaner on cruise with temps ranging from 400 - 700 degrees.

Nice one Andy. Quality info. Like the temp probe in the zorst!

Are you running a scotty special dump too, or factory?

Not a scott dump but a Westside one that was modeled off a Dolphin one that Craig bought.

I have a full 3 inch exhaust from turbo back.

I've never even seen 100 octane e10 in my locale, only povvo 91 octane.

And it's shite.

All the United servos in SA have E10 100oct. While I was there today I noticed they have now dropped boost 98 e10 and replaced it with e85!!! Going to fill the jerry cans tonight to run the 180SX on it, hello 300 + rwkw :) and all on 18psi with a gt2871r!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
