350-400kms on 3/4 of a tank isn't that bad. 3/4 of a tank is ~60L, that's 15-17L/100Km, which is what I get when I behave :ninja:

I can get mine down to 12-14L/100 on a trip, but general city/highway average is 15-17L/100.

That neglects to take into account that when your guage hits the lower line it isnt empty :P

But yeah, if the CEL is on - and you've read the codes off and it says O2 sensor.. a) check its plugged in, b) replace it :P

Not accurate there Ryan.

Set your trip when you fill up, then next fill take note of how many litres the tank takes to fill.

kms travelled / litres to fill = km per L

Then divide 100 by that figure to work out your L/100kms usage :)

EDIT - yes, I know... :geek:

alright, got myself a set of BC racing type BR coilovers...gonna do installation myself with a help from a mate this weekend (if i get lucky when no one calls from work)...i can work out how to take off the fronts, but how to take off the rears? i mean how to access to the top part of the rear suspension which is covered by the interior...

tried searching on SAU for any DIY on this, couldn't find any (maybe i didn't search hard enough?)...any links or pics would be a great help...thanks guys!

Easy!

Remove wheel, follow shock to mounting point on chassis rail, undo 2x M10 bolts (13mm hex, I think). Easy!

Unless the design of the BC top rear shock mount has changed; you will ned to re-use the pressed steel OEM top mount (The cup shaped bit that bolts to the chassis). The BC rubber bushes and crush tube fit perfectly into the OEM mount, so WD40 the shock thread, and remove the M12 nut (17mm socket) you might need to lightly clamp the shock in a vice to stop it turning.

Only takes a couple of minutes each to change, and you're on your way. I recommend running the shock at it's shortest extension rather than OEM length. Wind it all the way into the bottom clevis until it binds, then a full turn out If you lock it up with the bottom clevis bottomed out, over time it may lock in the thread and be impossible to disassemble later on. Lock the tapered collar and you're good. Also the bottom clevis is slightly too wide IMO, I used a 1.5mm thick M12 (or 1/2") washer to take up the gap as the clevis will have to crush miles too far otherwise. You could easily machine some small spacers if you have access to a lathe, but washers worked fine.

To remove the STD rear spring it is easier to undo the inner mount for the lower arm (one with the spring seat) and lower the whole arm supported with a jack. Mark the eccentric bolt on the lower arm before removal. You'll be aligning once you're done; but at least you're no worse off. The STD spring is very long and you won't be able to swing the arm far enough down to remove the spring from the seat.

If you like; I can PM you some base height measurements and some pics of my ride height as a starting point for adjustment. I'm at work at the moment, but I'll do it tomorrow morning.

hey guys,

i need help as i'm still clueless on what's going on...

the car has ECL on a few weeks ago, checked the codes manually, came as 1111, 1110 and 1135...i checked against the list of ECU error codes, nothing of that kind, searched online and came up as ECL code for Navara which points into the intake side (all 3 of them)...i asked the workshop that i normally go to and when they checked out the code using OBD scanner, same codes came out and i was told that the O2 sensor is busted...

now i just got the O2 sensor replaced yesterday and today the codes came up again, same ones as above...

anyone has an idea on what i need to look at? need help asap as i'm scared of driving with ECL on all times...

111 = Intake air temp circuit range/performance problem - Try cleaning the AFM

110 = IAT Circuit Malfunction - Lost on this.....maybe a bad air filter

135 = O2 Sensor heater circuit malfunction - Try unplugging this......see if there is any difference on how the car runs

Other than that without seeing the car i cannot help you.

Push down the silver ring around the bottom of the knob with a flat blade screwdriver; flick out the spring clip around the bottom of the knob, lift off.:thumbsup:

anyone with M35 has bought any reinforcement braces (not sway bars)? if yes, do they actually improve handling or at the least work as it's supposed to?

something like this: http://www.oxmotorsports.co.jp/7.html?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
