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 :)

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
