Haha yea that is a big LOL I'd put a brandnew

pod in and chnged the plugs and the oil

and oil filter plus the fuel filter still the same.

What else can I do?

250km per tank would actually = 26L/100km, as the R33 tank is 65L.

When you mean per tank, do you mean when the light comes on? or when the needle hits E?

Because if the light comes on, you still have 10-15L left in the tank....

you need to retard the modulation of the throttle lever.

Hold on, i think there is an important hint here we are ignoring...

(by the way i was calculating 60L, 5L remaining for pussying out and stopping at the nearest petrol station :()

I would replace the o2 sensor first. I gained a a bit by doing this yet alone an o2 sensor that has probably never been changed.

Factors such as agressive driving and heavy traffic will naturally kill fuel consumption.

I consistently average 12.5L/100km with the odd squirt of acceleration and well moving traffic.

wow 250km per tank, that makes my 330km per tank without the light feel beter. got many mods, had it tuned yet?

That's pretty much what I get.

I'm hoping and expecting a Nistune and dyno time to improve it somewhat.

I've done filter/plugs/oil.

Will check the o2 sensor.

wasn't o2 sensors mentioned before?
I would replace the o2 sensor first.
Then he found out the tank is leaking fuel out and also the o2 sensors are stuff!

Correct, correct, and correct.

RB25DET sees massive improvement by replacing the oxygen sensor. They don't last at all, so chuck in a new one every 80,000km or so. I netted an extra 100km or so per tank out of changing it. Even fanging your car everywhere should see more than 250km per tank.

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
