Hey guys I'm new to the forums, so sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Just wondering how much L/100km people are getting with there skylines?

I currently have an r33 gts25, n/a, auto(which I plan on getting converted to a manual as soon as I get the funds)

Driving long distance my fuel seems fine? (Just did a 800km drive and used roughly $120-140)

But when I'm driving around town it just seems to chew through fuel. 18l gets around 100-120kms roughly, which to me doesn't seem right, only mods I have are 2.5" aftermarket exhaust and mushroom pod.

What do you guys average driving in town? Is my skyline using a lot or is it fairly average?

Thanks in advance.

It's last service was apparently done at 80,000kms. I bought the car with 81,***kms and it's currently at 86,***kms.(haven't driving it a whole lot)

So you think it just needs a service and tune?

To be honest I kinda rushed into buying the car, had a quick look over for rust/damage. Car is very clean inside and out no rust/dings/scratches. Test drove it, ran smoothly, no problems with gearbox either. Previous owner was a female, car was kept completely stock(besides exhaust and pod of course)

Car did come with all receipts. I could check them to see if there was a major done at 80,000km but I'm guessing they lied or maybe only had a minor done.

It's always wise to give the car a good service when you 1st purchase it second hand. No matter what the previous owner has said.

Unless you buy the car off your mum or something and you know the history.

Yeah I should have done that, I'll learn by my mistakes I guess lol, well what do you think I should do?

The major service needs to be done at 100,000kms, should I hold off till then or go get it done at 90,000kms instead?

Yes, certainly stay in touch with the Brissie guys I'd say Ben.

They're quite helpful and the SAU.QLD President Tony will always put you onto the right path.

APEX'i Cone is a dry filter and therefore not risky like cones that need to be oiled.

But then many guys also run K&N and oil the flutes carefully without problems.

Sponge mushroom pods are not renowned for good filtering action > even worse are the ones which need to be oiled like HKS.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
