my 33 gives me around 360 to 380 a tank in the city,,as a grandma driver.. the most i ever got was on a country trip,,about 450k's..worst was 260kms :blink: .

Dnt think its anything wrong with your fuel guage, your car may just be running rich or be out of tune

Hey kurtis I hope these links throw you in the right direction I got an extra 100kms after changing my O2 Sensor

I too am only getting about 300km per tank on combined city/country cycle. Seems to get about the same mileage whether I drive it hard or soft. I figured it was running rich because thats about 16.6 litres per 100km (V8 territory). In contrast my mother's Soarer gets about 11L/100km on combined cycle.

Perhaps replace the oxygen sensor, coil packs / spark plugs, and get the injectors cleaned? That's what I'll be doing.

I am getting 640km to 70ltrs, with spirited driving, in a car making 330rwkw :ninja:

The spirited driving included the GOR cruise to the Twelve Apostles.

640! Al thats insane! No padding to that quote huh LOL Good going AL at least you get some economy out of your Skyline

lol ur car is a freak AL. its pretty stupid figures for a well tuned skyline Lol.

my series II 33 can get about 500+ for a full tank from full to empty with some good boosting and normal driving.

Replaced the oxygen sensor tonight. Got her up on the hoist and laughed at why I even bothered putting it up there when the sensor was clearly visible from the engine bay. Then I ate my words when a seemingly 2 minute job turned into 2 hours. The positioning of the sensor is so damn awkward. Near impossible to get a grip on the sensor nut with a torque-worthy tool. My open ended spanner kept slipping...shifter couldn't get a grip...socket wouldn't fit over sensor. Didn't want to thread the sensor nut so I resorted to snipping the sensor wires in order to get an angled ring spanner over the nut (forcing me to get the new sensor installed or being unable to drive home). Still had no room to get any decent leverage though. Had to remove the heat shields from turbo and exhaust - the screws of which were rusted through and threaded themselves when I tried to remove them. Drilled some of them out and vowed not to put the shields back on afterwards. I was quite literally bracing myself against the car chassis while trying to unhinge that rusted piece of crap sensor. After every swear word in 4 or 5 languages she finally cracked. Putting in the new one took the other half of the 2 minutes I had originally intended to spend on this.

/end rant.

Here's hoping my fuel economy improves because my anger management sure isn't.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
