my 33 gives me around 360 to 380 a tank in the city,,as a grandma driver.. the most i ever got was on a country trip,,about 450k's..worst was 260kms :blink: .

Dnt think its anything wrong with your fuel guage, your car may just be running rich or be out of tune

Hey kurtis I hope these links throw you in the right direction I got an extra 100kms after changing my O2 Sensor

I too am only getting about 300km per tank on combined city/country cycle. Seems to get about the same mileage whether I drive it hard or soft. I figured it was running rich because thats about 16.6 litres per 100km (V8 territory). In contrast my mother's Soarer gets about 11L/100km on combined cycle.

Perhaps replace the oxygen sensor, coil packs / spark plugs, and get the injectors cleaned? That's what I'll be doing.

I am getting 640km to 70ltrs, with spirited driving, in a car making 330rwkw :ninja:

The spirited driving included the GOR cruise to the Twelve Apostles.

640! Al thats insane! No padding to that quote huh LOL Good going AL at least you get some economy out of your Skyline

lol ur car is a freak AL. its pretty stupid figures for a well tuned skyline Lol.

my series II 33 can get about 500+ for a full tank from full to empty with some good boosting and normal driving.

Replaced the oxygen sensor tonight. Got her up on the hoist and laughed at why I even bothered putting it up there when the sensor was clearly visible from the engine bay. Then I ate my words when a seemingly 2 minute job turned into 2 hours. The positioning of the sensor is so damn awkward. Near impossible to get a grip on the sensor nut with a torque-worthy tool. My open ended spanner kept slipping...shifter couldn't get a grip...socket wouldn't fit over sensor. Didn't want to thread the sensor nut so I resorted to snipping the sensor wires in order to get an angled ring spanner over the nut (forcing me to get the new sensor installed or being unable to drive home). Still had no room to get any decent leverage though. Had to remove the heat shields from turbo and exhaust - the screws of which were rusted through and threaded themselves when I tried to remove them. Drilled some of them out and vowed not to put the shields back on afterwards. I was quite literally bracing myself against the car chassis while trying to unhinge that rusted piece of crap sensor. After every swear word in 4 or 5 languages she finally cracked. Putting in the new one took the other half of the 2 minutes I had originally intended to spend on this.

/end rant.

Here's hoping my fuel economy improves because my anger management sure isn't.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
