i filled up from empty 54lts or something of BP ultimate costing me around 70 bucks or so.

drove from brissy to noosa and back down the whole coast line. to brissy again then a few trip to work and back during the week. saw me get just 470km to the tank.

with a few hard drivings.. eg overtaking fast, and a few city run arounds.

also my clutch is rooted.. slips on boost so thats pretty good fuel eco.

Mods: pod, semi exhuast. i think.. thats it.. stock as.

SO not to bad but the looks of all these posts.

r32 sedan... 3" exhaust, pod, fmic, 11psi boost

i've dropped down to about 270-290km/55L from the 330-360km/55L that i was getting before the fmic install :)

that's all city driving, and well, i drive the skyline the way it's supposed to be used :)

i just put 100octane in last night. done 65km and my fuel guage hasnt moved. thats a first for me! ill keep you informed

is your fuel gauge's rate of change linear though? Mine moves slowly from a full tank and as i get to half a tank it starts to speed up.

and how much more expensive than unleaded is optimax extreme? heaps of others complained about their cars not working so well because they're tuned to the usual type of premium.

its pretty linear, slow at first then normal, then quick at last quarter.....

I did aboout 280km and i stil had a quarter of a tank left..i had exactly 200km to half a tank which is amazing.. ill normally have to fullup very shortly after 200km. that last 80km was some very sprited driving, alot of city crusing on a friday night....

it is about 5-6c more expensive then optimax... but definately worth it, so around 13-14c more expensive than normal premium which is pretty good.....

My car runs fine on it, so much more torque down low i barely need to boost it, so much more enthusiasim up high, i think it smokes a little bit more but thats prob burning ethanol... oh well its all good.. ill prob run a few tanks of 100 and a tank or 2 of 98 here and there......

You guys are killing me here :nyaanyaa:

R33 - pod - 3inch exhaust.

I only got 380kms out of 50litres, and 200kms of that was 5th gear freeway kms.

I'm looking at about 300kms per 50litres city driving.

I drive it fairly easy, for the first 10 mins, then i start watching my boost gauge.lol.

(gets up to 9psi on factory boost).

I cant help it, that's what skylines are made for.

Changed my O2 sensor last week. Has made no difference at all.

The way I see it, you want performance, it's gonna chew up fuel.

On the other hand, my mate's FPV F6 turbo goes through a tank every few days. Now that's crazy.

Just realised the topic is RB20's. sorry bout that.

half a tank so far.

94 bucks to fill

100km on the clock.

Damn mash, that's rough.

I'm still excited by my last tank - 511km! It worked out to be 11.76L/100km (stock pretty much everything). I felt like Kramer driving around with the orange fuel light glowing...

    • So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR
    • So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
