hey guys i thought i would share my joy with you all, im not saying this will work for everyone, but i had EXCELENT results. i have an r32 rb20 with mild mods, running rich as hell (like most imports) and i was getting between 250-300 k's per tank of fuel. the other day i had some spare time (and was pissed off with shit fuel consumption) so i did 3 VERY simple things to try and fix this....AND IT WORKED for my engine anyway, and i kid you not i have got between 400-450k's out of each of my last 3 tanks of fuel.

1-new plugs. mine were grubby, but nothing crazy

2-thourough cleaning of AAC vavle (this helped clean up the idle as well)

3-i added a bottle of LIQUI MOLY fuel injection cleaner (it takes 1 full tank of fuel before full results are achieved, it wasnt instant)

these 3 simple things have saved me money on expensive PULP and cleaning the AAC valve (somthing everyone should do anyway) smoothed out my idle too!

anyway just thought i would let you guys know, as poor fuel consumption is somthing that most skyline owners know all too well about, and i had such good results with these 3 simple maintenance procedures. cheers adam.

May I also recommend, if it hasn't been done in the last 50,000km, that you change your oxygen sensor. This alone added 80/90km of mileage to my normal petrol usage.

oh f**k im so retarded. lol can i edit the title?

Yep, to "almost double my fuel consumption" I'd carry out these 3 maintenance procedures

i) fill the interior with bricks

ii) wear a lead-lined right boot

iii) dirty-up the AAC

sorry! I couldn't resist - but fond of your thread all the same!

haha

that reminds me, i gotta clean my aac one of these days

hope its not too hard..

mate its not hard at all. go check out the DIY guide, takes 20 mins.

petern- i had great results with the liqui moly. i really didnt expect much from it, but i would highly recommend it to anyone, and for 20 bucks whats not to loose. i will now be adding it to my list of things to do when i service the car every 5000k's. i also find electrical cleaner works a treat for cleaning the AFM. adam

    • 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 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
