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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
