You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

How many litres did you fill it up with? I'm guessing around 50 litres, in which case that's pretty normal economy for a Skyline. And if it hasn't been done, changing the oxygen sensor can help your fuel economy. But I wouldn't be bother if you net around 400km from 50 litres.

A light will come on when the needle is near the E and you'll still have 20km or so left. It's a 60 litre tank.

When i filled it up it was on the 2nd last bar, i filled it up all the way with 100 octane which costed me $65, i think i got around 35 litres before it wouldnt go anymore, it was $1.65 per litre and i put $65 in, so whatever that adds up to is how much i filled it up before it wouldnt go anymore.

My sender is acting funny also.

Haven't bothered to clean it, as long I get at least 400km out of the tank s'all good.

I've managed bit over 500 on a tank before fillin it up today.

Your fuel economy is fine for an N/A 2.5 6 cylinder of that age. If you used 39 litres and got 350km, that's around 11L/100km.

I don't think your fuel sender is terribly inaccurate either. If you assume that half a tank is 30 litres and you were on the next bar, 39 litres isn't a stretch. There's still a good 7-8 litres left after the needle touches the last line.

I wouldn't worry about running out of fuel until your fuel light comes on. It's a bit past the last line on the gauge, just before the needle touches E.

OP6 vs 21U housing - do they share the same bolt pattern and distance from flange to firewall? Thinking of buying a blown 34 turbo to highflow to net an extra ~20hp headroom.

Same bolt pattern, not sure about distance, but it doesn't matter, cause OP6 has been fitted many times without issue. If you're going through HG just give him a 2IU housing and get an SS1PU.

Might pick up some injectors tonight.

If so, that's pretty much everything for first round of mods! Will just need to install all the parts + tune. Yayerr. :D.

Although still deciding whether I have enough cash moniez to also grab aem afr/boost gauge.

Doesn't the SS1PU push the exhaust back even further, or has Tao fixed that? Have you had any long-term issues with yours?

The SS1PU pushes it back further because it's a new turbine housing, not just a high flow of the stock housing. I've had no clearance issues issues, there was plenty of room for my exhaust...still is. Air con drip hose (?) was slightly touching the dump pipe, but I tied it back and it doesn't contact anymore.

Will do a detailed post in the HG thread later today to kill some myths, as I've seen a bit of garbage posted in there lately.

Yeh that would help a lot, there are so many conflicting statements made about that turbo.

Post up your setup+results to go with it

just went to look at a new GTi.

I could not believe how bad the service at the dealer was.

avoided answering questions. fairly simple ones.

ME: when the performance pack is coming out,

THEM: OH GTI's are very popular you will need to put a deposit down to get anything.

ME: what is the lead time if I want XYZ

THEM: Oh you should be happy with any we can offer you as they are very popular.

SO I had looked on their site and they have some optional wheels that I liked more Lighter and wider.

ME: How much are the wheels I saw on the VW site.

THEM, oh I couldn't option them, the normal ones are too popular, you could get them from the spare parts department later if you wanted but we could get you some cheap tyres to put on them!

ME: How much is the sunroof on one

THEM: the GTI is a very good buy as they now have capped priced service.(!!!)

ME oh ok how much is the capped price service

THEM, OH we have not set the price yet but is is sure to ber very cheap. I can tell you the price of the Series6 GTi but it won't be the same.

so frustrating.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
