Ummm... is thier a hole in your tank somewhere possibly? sounds incrediblyyy high for anycar

WTTTFFFF???

What mods you got? you checked plugs and coilpacks if not sparking properly will cause exess fuel but wouldnt do that much could just be contributing factor?

you have an aftermarket ecu? could have dropped the tune maybe?

thats crazy kms but i can get up to 600 out of a tank in my 33.

good luck with it though mate hope you fix it soon

i changed the spark plugs aswell, the coilpacks seem fine, but im not quiet sure really, i dont think theres a hole lol. im not aware of any aftermarket ECU, ive never had it tuned dont know about the dude before me, maybe i should get it tuned =\

Take it to a professional that knows Skylines, because 100-140km a tank is beyond serious, and you seem abit clueless. I get better fuel economy in my R32 GTR at the race track (150km per 3/4 tank). All I can think of really is replacing the O2 sensor, but without knowing your driving style 100-140km might be normal.

- Does it blow black smoke all the time?

- Were the spark plugs fouled up?

- Are the injectors stock?

- Is it the right MAF for your engine?

- Have you run toluene or any fuel additives that might have eaten up your rubber fuel lines?

- Is your check engine light on?

- Is the engine getting up to temp (ie 82c)?

- Is fuel trickling out your exhaust when idling or driving?

- Do you lose any fuel if the cars has been sitting overnight?

- Are any of your injectors wet or moist on the outside?

- Does the cabin stink like fuel at any time?

mate its not a tune issue, have a look at your engine bay, i reckon that you have a fuel leak somewhere. this is serious! i would say take it to your local machanic at least and get them to have a look at it if u are not too handy. Personally i wouldn't be driving it anywhere till i got this sorted. you are getting race track style km!

lol wut ? 50l/100kms ??? And I thought my 18l/100 was bad! But seriously ..no way no how, you must have a fuel leak somewhere. Does the engine bay smell like fuel ? Get it checked out asap as it could catch on fire

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
