I did took it to a mechanic 1 month ago and said the same thing, they said theres nothing wrong with it even using the computer it indicated theres nothing weird at all. I am only aware this car only has spiltfire coils, K&N air filter, turbo timer as i got this car only last year.

Must be my driving i suppose.

Is the place to measure the boost leak in front of the driver near the oil filter that is covered by a small black tip to put a gauge in?

If so the mechanic also measure it with his gauge and it indicated no leaks at all.

3000rpm really shouldn't be causeing issues, especially in a 34. General driving I've found my 33 GTST is most fuel economical driving at 3000-3500rpm marks. My Bluebird is similar story and has no issues going well above the 3000rpm mark both cars have 20yr old never rebuilt engines in them. Odd with the fuel smell etc, my 33 is always fuelie but is in desperate need of a tune. Possibly might not hurt to take it to another mechanic just for the sake of a second opinion.

@ Anfanee: Well i don't really know cause i just got this car last year and it came with it, but i cleaned it 1 month ago using K&N oil filter cleaning kit and it looks how it suppose to.

I'm going to do a full service soon as it going to hit the 97 000 km mark soon so i'm going to pray its going to feel smooth when i first got this car :)

Rev it hard.

If it blows up it was a shit engine and you didnt want it anyway , unless you do want a shit engine, which would be weird. (But make sense at the same time as this thread is weird)

the biggest problem is you have an oil filter, it restricts the engine and makes it less fuel efficient around the 3300rpm mark

take that pesky thing off and let it free flow, you will gain around 4L of fuel around 100km and increase of around 30whp

#@Elegant Skyline

It will not break the car reving it past 3000rpm when taking off from the lights to keep up with traffic.

So don't worry about that honestly, these engines have had farrrr worse treatment and have been able to handle it.

If you are looking for better fuel economy then maybe start with how much you are currently using.

How many Km would you get from 50L or fuel and we can tell you if it's bad or just a normal skyline.

Then you can start crossing things off the list below and try improve it.

Clean your AFM

Replace your O2 sensor

Check for boost leaks

These are just to name a few things to start with.

If you don't understand what the above are then I suggest doing a search in google or taking the car to a mechanic to get them done.

Cheers

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
