hi,

i have just recentlly bought a r33 skyline and my fuel consumption is so crap i may aswell own a fuel guzzling v8 or something :( .

the mods are- fmic, plum back greddy bov, rear muffler boxes replaced with jasma stainless steel ones, apexi pod style filter and everything else is pretty much standard.

im running it on shell optimax premium fuel and struggling to get past 350kms to a tank. and thats driving it like a granny.

im gonna get it serviced and change the fuel filter too and see if that makes a difference. but its driving me nuts, it pi...ng me off.

what do you guys think or do you have any suggestions???

please help

cheers

Spark plugs, throttle body clean, afm clean and most importantly change your 02 sensor,,,, i didnt wanna spend $220 on a genuwine nissan 02 sensor so i just got a $60 EL falcon one from repco... i get 500km/tank now.... before was only only 300

wow~ that is cool~~ been able to increase fuel economy just by changing the o2 sensor! what bout r34 gtt? is it the same way to increase fuel economy?

i think the O2 sensor will only increase fuel economy if it is not working.

i currently am running no O2 sensors because i am waiting on genuine ones. i'm getting terrible fuel economy on a brand new engine. it should do a lot more kms per tank once installed.

call petroject (now known as logicar) if your in melb. 9873 7006. i got an NGK/NTK o2 sensor from them today for around $100. direct fit, now gotta hope my fuel usage goes down from ~250km per tank lol.

how many litres are you classing as a tank? shits me when people just say "a tank" because a dodgy fuel sender can mean that it reads empty after using 35L.

put your economy into L/100kms. my 33 would get about 10L/100km on the highway and about 17L/100km round town because i drove a lot of short trips where it would still be on cold start enrichment, and when it was warm i would fang it a bit.

also you can get a direct fit replacement o2 sensor from repco, autobarn, etc. the new ngk catalogues have the part number listed for them. and if it doesn't just order the one for a n15 SSS pulsar as it uses the same one.

Thats impressive. 5 hours driving plus drifting all day on 1 tank? mine could never do that..
drifting is not to bad as most of the day is spent waiting in line :D, superlap or sprint style would not be a possibilty though. Athids s15 was one (FF cover car) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/ma...l&p=4478142

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
