Ummm... is thier a hole in your tank somewhere possibly? sounds incrediblyyy high for anycar

WTTTFFFF???

What mods you got? you checked plugs and coilpacks if not sparking properly will cause exess fuel but wouldnt do that much could just be contributing factor?

you have an aftermarket ecu? could have dropped the tune maybe?

thats crazy kms but i can get up to 600 out of a tank in my 33.

good luck with it though mate hope you fix it soon

i changed the spark plugs aswell, the coilpacks seem fine, but im not quiet sure really, i dont think theres a hole lol. im not aware of any aftermarket ECU, ive never had it tuned dont know about the dude before me, maybe i should get it tuned =\

Take it to a professional that knows Skylines, because 100-140km a tank is beyond serious, and you seem abit clueless. I get better fuel economy in my R32 GTR at the race track (150km per 3/4 tank). All I can think of really is replacing the O2 sensor, but without knowing your driving style 100-140km might be normal.

- Does it blow black smoke all the time?

- Were the spark plugs fouled up?

- Are the injectors stock?

- Is it the right MAF for your engine?

- Have you run toluene or any fuel additives that might have eaten up your rubber fuel lines?

- Is your check engine light on?

- Is the engine getting up to temp (ie 82c)?

- Is fuel trickling out your exhaust when idling or driving?

- Do you lose any fuel if the cars has been sitting overnight?

- Are any of your injectors wet or moist on the outside?

- Does the cabin stink like fuel at any time?

mate its not a tune issue, have a look at your engine bay, i reckon that you have a fuel leak somewhere. this is serious! i would say take it to your local machanic at least and get them to have a look at it if u are not too handy. Personally i wouldn't be driving it anywhere till i got this sorted. you are getting race track style km!

lol wut ? 50l/100kms ??? And I thought my 18l/100 was bad! But seriously ..no way no how, you must have a fuel leak somewhere. Does the engine bay smell like fuel ? Get it checked out asap as it could catch on fire

    • 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
