I usually get about 400km to 55 litres.

The other week I went to Sydney and back, and drove around for a few days. The needle seemed to sit just above empty for a long time. When I filled up it only took 59 litres and I traveled a bit over 500km.

Most of that was highway driving though, so it doesn't really count.

low fuel light is at the middle left of the dash, you should see it when you put the ignition on (i think).

Skylines tend to have low guages tho, mine spends a fair few k's at the bottom of the guage before the light goes on.

unless your tank has been changed??

Just about all my driving is either in the city, or the burbs - never high/freeway. I get anywhere between 350 - 450 km out of a tank, depending on how I drive. 450 is a little unrealistic as you have to drive like a sissy and keep the revs below 3 at all times. I only wanted to see what the most I could get was out of my car. Usually I will get around 400km out of a tank with a mixture of easy/heavy driving. This is on a stock R33 - only mod is 10psi boost.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
