My NA has been wonderful to me and this would have to be its only problem. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me out. I put 10 litres in and it only serves me 70kms. For an NA that can't be right. With soaring fuel prices at the moment i've had enough. I have just recently changed the oil, oil filter, spark plugs and fuel filter.... But one ongoing thing is i've always smelt fuel every now and then when driving her. If there was a leak it would have to be ever so small because i've had this problem for ages now. Is this a job i take to the mechanics to get her tuned? If so how much would that cost? and where in the east melb area would be the best.....

If any help could be given..it'd be greatly appreciated

Thanks heeps

have a look where the petrol cap is that reducer bit there is sometimes a bit loose

if your stopped with your engine running you might b able to c fumes coming out of there look in side mirrior

have a look at the injectors, see if they are damp around the plugs.

the smell will drift into the car through the air vents , and will probably be a bit stronger when car is stationary than moving.

could be o-rings or cracked injector body

10 litres for 70ks

jeez and your whinning??? u NA boys got da life

i get life 20L per 100ks

PS i have the same prob with petrol smell, let me know how ya fixed it and then i'll give that a go, i have had the prob for two years now, its only when i push in the hills think the slooshing around has some thing to do with it

yeah there is always fumes coming out of there when it's running....i know that my fuel filler thing comes straight out with the fuel hose when im filling it up...i doubt the fuel could be just evaperating... o rings or cracked injector body doesn't sound like a great load of fun.. let's just hope it isn't that.. i can't really take it anywhere either due to my wonderfully maxed out credit card.. the problem seems to be around the board...and as for you turbo ticoons! 20litres per 100kms...is that wonderful air rushing noise really worth it at 1.15 per litre?

most of us buy turbo skylines to go fast and not to be a poser in a 'line, so in repose that whushing noise question. it is worth 1.15 a litre

Some of us 18/19 year olds are too young for insurance companies to want to touch, so an N/A is the best option.

As to your 'poser in a line' comment, keep them to yourself mate. I would rather be seen in a non turbo R34 than a Mazda 6 or something equivilant, and that's the option I was faced with.

Whose to say there aren't posers who drive our turbo counterparts? Your comment has me wondering if you would fit into that very catergory.

let me clarify my statement.

if you buy a fast car, turbo/non turbo and not drive it fast (and in doing so use more fule than usual) the way the car was designed to be driven. then you are a poser.

and back onto the subject of this thread.

70K's to 10lts is bad for a non turbo. i get 200-210K's to 27litres. and thats fast acelerating/fast driving action.

let me clarify my statement.

if you buy a fast car, turbo/non turbo and not drive it fast (and in doing so use more fule than usual) the way the car was designed to be driven. then you are a poser.  

What a silly statement ! By your reckoning a person who drives a GTR must drive it fast else he is a poser. Who cares about traffic laws or the fact that you share the road with others or the fact that some of us dont desire to drive a car fast.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
