How I've never spotted this thread before escapes me.

White 33 black bonnet (lol) red front bumper (double lol)

Keen on cruises/meets in the future.

This thread seems to blend in pretty well for what I can tell confused.gif

But welcome anyway. Always good to find another local skyline/nissan owner. Cruise to Brisbane on the 25th to meet up with some other SAU members. Then a local cruise to a pub for a feed on the 14th of april.

Will attempt to make it to the cruise to brisbane work stuff permitting.

Should be able to make it to the april meet also.

There is definantly a lot of skylines in town would be good to see the community grow. :)

Shucks, if I come along, I'll just sit in my little corner then hey while you guys all talk RB and stuff...

Hahaha If you have a nissan I'm sure I could think of things to talk with you about, I've got a s13 as well.

Well we cannot spend the whole time talking SR's now can we nyaanyaa.gif Where are your Japan pics? I wanna see pics of the glow in the dark cars teehee.gif

LOLOL Said cars were north of Tokyo. I was actually in Osaka...much much further south :P

I got the Japan pics here but perhaps this is the wrong place to post them up.

Chris - Perhaps the next time you have something going on at your place, I'll bring the pics in a USB for all to see ;)

And it has a couple pics of the cars you originally requested

Random question guys, what can i do to improve my fuel economy other than cleaning out the AFM and replacing the O2 sensor?

I do a round trip of 160 k's per day and am only getting 300 k's from a tank :/

A lighter right foot lol. AFM and O2 is a good start. Is it a stock ECU?

leaking fuel tank? busted fuel lines?

Repco will be having cheap electrical contact cleaner starting tomorow. Use that to clean the AFM contacts and filament. Leaves no residue.

O2 sensor a "bit" more expensive LOL...but you'll make up for the cost in fuel savings alone after a couple weeks with that sorta consumption.

Kudos motorsport on here will be a good start to look for one unless someone can recommend another place.

Apart from that, you'll just have to live with the RB consumption. Almost every skyline I've seen leaves a big cloud of black smoke upon changing gears.

Perhaps a shift to the 'light' side (pun intended) would be in order.

2 less cylinders, cheaper rego and 650+km/tank fuel economy for me :P

sonnyQ- yeah mate from Toowoomba to Ipswich every day.

me_larr- I havent noticed any fuel leaking from anywhere but ill have a thorough check this weekend. Ill give the contacts a hit this weekend as well.

This is with a light foot guys :/ if I drive it hard ill go through a tank in a return journey. Got an O2 sensor from Vulture Motorsport on here, just waiting for it to rock up.

Don't forget the filament inside the AFM.

You'll need to remove it from the intake and physically spray the heating filament/element of the AFM until its clean of all oil/dirt/dust.

Cleaning this will be more important than just the contacts on the plug.

Should your AFM have no mesh on the ends (unlikely), try not to physically touch the filament bit.

I gots a strange feeling your economy will jump 100ks or more with just AFM cleaning and new O2 :)

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
