Also, don't bother saying how many KMs you get to a tank. The best way to work it out is:

1. Fill up to a full tank

2. Reset trip meter

3. Drive

4. Fill up, note how many litres it takes

5. Do this calc: Litres divided by KMs ... then times that figure by 100 = Litres per 100 KMs

The reason this is a better comparison is that one mans "empty" is different to another persons. For example, I normally get 320kms out of a tank... but I never take mine to RIGHT on the E mark, and I put 42-46L in it.... so around 13 - 14 L per 100kms, which is around normal for a mildly modified GTR IMO.

yeah thats why i said removing the restrictor makes you run 14.7 psi

not saying that is a good idea

what im saying is that the gauge is in mmHG not bar

7 mmHg = 1 bar

May i ask, where is the restrictor that you remove to get full boost?

my 32gtr is pullin 400km's for full tank. all i had done was injectors cleaned, changed air filters, o2's,

i give it a fair bit of push around suburbs.

but yer my injector is now leaking out fuel i assume this time round i wont be gettin 400k's.. what is it i need to replace .. O-rings for it? and is it hard to replace?

i just got a power fc installed + car tuned.

driving sensibly im now getting around 420 to a full tank round town.

i've been giving it a hard time this tank and it looks like it will hopefully still be around the 320 - 350 mark.

car is almost stock - 222rwkw @ 12 psi.

hope this helps.

also, check your comp - is it standard? my old cpu was the main cause of my previous poor economy (around 300 to a full tank barely hitting boost).

      I use the flattest and most level piece of concrete I have. And then I shim the tyres on the low side of that with sheets of plywood to level the car. The right amount is easily found with a 2m straight edge and a level or digital angle finder. I use both the spirit level and the same digital angle finder I use to measure the camber. Gives a zero check on the angle finder right at the start.

      Turbo to suit 600whp

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys,  I'm chasing a recommendation for a turbo charger to suit 600whp.  Engine is a RB25 series 2, with rebuilt forged internals with 8.5 comp ratio. Cams are 262/272. I was considering buying a Garrett G30 770 with 0.83 AR, would it be best to get a V band inlet and outlet to suit as I need to buy a 6 boost manifold as well? Thank you.

      Hey Duncan,  What you did with the boot is mint, I'm going to do the same with my R33.  Do you no longer like the R-Chassis?

      Just keep in mind (maybe too late now) that before you go crazy, most driveways aren't flat. This _can_ affect your dynamic camber and heights too. It is kinda funny but getting people to really align stuff right can be problematic for people with OCD. Consider a motorsport place if there's any around, and also consider you may have 'dynamically' altered your own camber after a visit to the track, which can happen too.

      So I got some fresh Kuhmo 275's on the back to replace the crap that came on this set of wheels and put them on with the front street'ers too. But man I was getting crazy rubbage on the rear passenger side which is odd as the previous crap was 275 also and was on there before I added my extra camber. The semi's are also a *fat* 265 and had no rubbing. I noticed that the camber left and right was pretty different. Very little on the passenger side. My magnetic camber tester on uneven ground showed roughly -1.75 on drivers side and less than -.5 on the passenger side.   It would have been like this on the track day. :( I adjusted the passenger arms to be as close to the drivers as I could get by eye. I then used my new fender roller to make some extra space but holy crap the folds on the guards are made from battleship steel! I couldn't get much rolled at all, they were so strong. My alignment is now off with a 30 degree turn in my steering wheel. I'll find a new alignment joint I think. Not only did the last place think my speed sensor cable zip tied to the camber arm was a brake line, they didn't zip tie them back after they aligned it which was pretty poor. Happy I noticed and did it before the track. Looks like they couldn't match left and right either.   Gave the old girl a bath and I'm always so happy with how she polishes up.
