Haha yea that is a big LOL I'd put a brandnew

pod in and chnged the plugs and the oil

and oil filter plus the fuel filter still the same.

What else can I do?

250km per tank would actually = 26L/100km, as the R33 tank is 65L.

When you mean per tank, do you mean when the light comes on? or when the needle hits E?

Because if the light comes on, you still have 10-15L left in the tank....

you need to retard the modulation of the throttle lever.

Hold on, i think there is an important hint here we are ignoring...

(by the way i was calculating 60L, 5L remaining for pussying out and stopping at the nearest petrol station :()

I would replace the o2 sensor first. I gained a a bit by doing this yet alone an o2 sensor that has probably never been changed.

Factors such as agressive driving and heavy traffic will naturally kill fuel consumption.

I consistently average 12.5L/100km with the odd squirt of acceleration and well moving traffic.

wow 250km per tank, that makes my 330km per tank without the light feel beter. got many mods, had it tuned yet?

That's pretty much what I get.

I'm hoping and expecting a Nistune and dyno time to improve it somewhat.

I've done filter/plugs/oil.

Will check the o2 sensor.

wasn't o2 sensors mentioned before?
I would replace the o2 sensor first.
Then he found out the tank is leaking fuel out and also the o2 sensors are stuff!

Correct, correct, and correct.

RB25DET sees massive improvement by replacing the oxygen sensor. They don't last at all, so chuck in a new one every 80,000km or so. I netted an extra 100km or so per tank out of changing it. Even fanging your car everywhere should see more than 250km per tank.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
