How many litres did you fill it up with? I'm guessing around 50 litres, in which case that's pretty normal economy for a Skyline. And if it hasn't been done, changing the oxygen sensor can help your fuel economy. But I wouldn't be bother if you net around 400km from 50 litres.

A light will come on when the needle is near the E and you'll still have 20km or so left. It's a 60 litre tank.

When i filled it up it was on the 2nd last bar, i filled it up all the way with 100 octane which costed me $65, i think i got around 35 litres before it wouldnt go anymore, it was $1.65 per litre and i put $65 in, so whatever that adds up to is how much i filled it up before it wouldnt go anymore.

~40L

your sender is wrong.

[Miguelone]

Yup, pull it out and clean it, there's a guide on here somewhere but it's pretty straightforward.

[Count Grantleyish]

My sender is acting funny also.

Haven't bothered to clean it, as long I get at least 400km out of the tank s'all good.

I've managed bit over 500 on a tank before fillin it up today.

rb25 neo, its good hey?

Yuh, tis good motor that...

OP6 vs 21U housing - do they share the same bolt pattern and distance from flange to firewall? Thinking of buying a blown 34 turbo to highflow to net an extra ~20hp headroom.

Your fuel economy is fine for an N/A 2.5 6 cylinder of that age. If you used 39 litres and got 350km, that's around 11L/100km.

I don't think your fuel sender is terribly inaccurate either. If you assume that half a tank is 30 litres and you were on the next bar, 39 litres isn't a stretch. There's still a good 7-8 litres left after the needle touches the last line.

I wouldn't worry about running out of fuel until your fuel light comes on. It's a bit past the last line on the gauge, just before the needle touches E.

Same bolt pattern, not sure about distance, but it doesn't matter, cause OP6 has been fitted many times without issue. If you're going through HG just give him a 2IU housing and get an SS1PU.

[alr33x]

Wouldn't bother worrying about fuel economy in a skyline.

[MBS206]

not to mention the pathetic scumbag bogan culture that goes with aussie hiphop...

Nice stereotyping there...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Nice stereotyping there...

why thankyou.... i wasn't sure people would notice

[kaitoukid]

Might pick up some injectors tonight.

If so, that's pretty much everything for first round of mods! Will just need to install all the parts + tune. Yayerr. .

Although still deciding whether I have enough cash moniez to also grab aem afr/boost gauge.

if not talking wideband then don't bother

Doesn't the SS1PU push the exhaust back even further, or has Tao fixed that? Have you had any long-term issues with yours?

[kaitoukid]

Yeah, wideband.

The SS1PU pushes it back further because it's a new turbine housing, not just a high flow of the stock housing. I've had no clearance issues issues, there was plenty of room for my exhaust...still is. Air con drip hose (?) was slightly touching the dump pipe, but I tied it back and it doesn't contact anymore.

Will do a detailed post in the HG thread later today to kill some myths, as I've seen a bit of garbage posted in there lately.

Yeh that would help a lot, there are so many conflicting statements made about that turbo.

Post up your setup+results to go with it

[emts]

just went to look at a new GTi.

I could not believe how bad the service at the dealer was.

avoided answering questions. fairly simple ones.

ME: when the performance pack is coming out,

THEM: OH GTI's are very popular you will need to put a deposit down to get anything.

ME: what is the lead time if I want XYZ

THEM: Oh you should be happy with any we can offer you as they are very popular.

SO I had looked on their site and they have some optional wheels that I liked more Lighter and wider.

ME: How much are the wheels I saw on the VW site.

THEM, oh I couldn't option them, the normal ones are too popular, you could get them from the spare parts department later if you wanted but we could get you some cheap tyres to put on them!

ME: How much is the sunroof on one

THEM: the GTI is a very good buy as they now have capped priced service.(!!!)

ME oh ok how much is the capped price service

THEM, OH we have not set the price yet but is is sure to ber very cheap. I can tell you the price of the Series6 GTi but it won't be the same.

so frustrating.
