Hey guys,

I have some quick questions, my car is stock standard only has Catback exhaust and after market apexi airfilter pods. Everytime i get in the car ,it smells like fuel... is that normal for r32 gtr? or is there something wrong with it?

Secondly, Full tank of petrol can only go for 320kms, Is that normal? Maybe i need to retune it or something? because of the airfilter?

Thirdly, I just bought Xd9 18"rims last week. it was very close to the guard so i needed to get it rolled. Got the guards rolled 2 days ago, the paint cracked on one side as warned by the roller. He said that the left rear guard had been fixed or soemthing before and it has completely no metal at all. Anyway i want to know whats the best way to fix this?

Please help me out guys

Cheers

Mine smells of fuel sometimes, they just do for some reason. Have a look for any fuel leaks.

Welcome to the world of high performance (read: high fuel consumption) cars. I get 400 to 450 out of a tank if I drive it economically. Are you still running standard boost?(about 7psi/0.5bar i think)

It's pretty common for the rear wheel arches to rust out due to the salt on Japanese roads and sounds like your was just patched with bog. Mine were cut out and new metal welded in. You'll have to take it to a panel beater to get it fixed properly.

Im running my car with standard boost 7psi and theres still only 350kms for a full tank, so im assuming its might be out of tune?

Yea, the guard roller said if i fix it they just gonna put more bog on??

You smell fuel, probably because you don't have a catalytic convertor, or yours have been hollowed out.

350kms is a bit low, but not stupidly so... Car might be running rich. Standard ECU?

Take the car to a panel beater... They'll have to bog up the guard again, and repaint it... Of if you want to do it properly, pay them to weld in some more metal, hammer it back into shape and then repaint.

I havent come across any skyline, turbo or not that doesnt smell like fuel while idleing.....

Another thing that might cause the high fuel consumption is if the O2 sensor(s) are not working, so the car runs rich all the time.

+1, i recon its more likely than not your 02 sensors, everyone forgets to change them but nissan recomends changing them every 40 000km or so.... mines not a gtr but when i first got the car i was getting 250ishkm/tank.... change the ot sensor, new spark plugs, throtle body clean, afm clean and now up to 500km/tank while running 10psi boost and about 200rwkw, if i drive it harder i still get 400km/tank at worst....

So you're talking inside the car right? Check the seal on the fuel tank. In the boot there's a metal plate held on by four screws to the right of the wheel well. Under it there's a big black ring that holds the fuel pump and gauge assembly. There's a seal that sits between the assembly and the ring. Make sure that seal is in good condition and the ring is tight.

Other than that i've used gaffa tape around the metal plate to stop any fumes from entering the boot. The boot doesnt have an airtight barrier into the cabin, so any smell in the boot gets straight into the cabin.

FWIW i dont think my car smells bad outside. Cat and o2 sensors are known good.

So the stock gtr doesnt have catalytic convertor? I am running standard ECU nothing has changed.

Yes i want to get it done properly no point of having more bog :D. So much money spending on the car but i mean my car is in good condition interior is perfect, engine bay is very clean, just stupid rust underneath the rear.

do you think i could get it check up at the mechanics? or do i need to find a skyline specialist to fix this problem?

you would want to check that the fuel tank doesn't have any perished breather hoses and also that the fuel injectors aren't leaking, rather common for these early jecs/bosch fuel injectors to leak from the body and they must be replaced they can not be repaired.

whether it's a gtr, vl commodore, nissan exa, very common now they are getting on in age...

Hey LoNgStAr!

First time poster for me in the NSW thread as I'm from VIC.

As some has already said on here,

Check your fuel injectors to see if they are leaking or not... If they are not leaking, run a can of injector cleaner next time you fill up your fuel tank.

Check you O2 Sensors out with your mechanic.

Check for any leaks in the fuel tank area. Fill up a full tank, take it for a drive, come home and park it over night as next morning see if there is any fuel stains around the rear area... Get mechanic to check it out... Look under the car for any leaks too.

350kms, that sounds low but not bad... I get about 250kms from half a tank and about 450kms - 500kms full tank.

See how you go.

Hey long,

It's basically gonna be one of what's been said so far. Either injectors, fuel lines, 02 sensors or a leak somewhere around the fuel pump cover itself. Yes a computer will help with fuel consumption but that's an extreme measure just to try and fix the consumption part.

On another note, got any pictures of how the xd9's look on the car? Love these wheels on gtrs... =)

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
