That's pretty bad milage... I get about 500km on my S2 Turbo Auto Stagea and I do put my foot down occasionally. The O2 Sensor is the cheaper part to replace first but I would say the AFM may be playing up as that's pretty much double the fuel you should be using...

Check your spark plugs too.

PEC O2 sensors I've found we're good for my Skyline and Stagea. Stagea now runs around 12.5L/100km with a new O2 sensor and NGK spark plugs and my R33 Turbo Sedan is 8.5L/100km at best. But usually 9L/100km. It went from 15L/100km to 9L/100km just from getting a new O2 sensor from PEC Online.

And measure your fuel consumption in l/100km. Your gauge could be wrong...not even sure what 250km per tank means. If you are heavy footed and drive mostly in the city racing from light to light you could use a lot of gas.

1. Full tank the car (with 98 RON petrol)

2. Drive around normally for 200 km

3. Full tank the car again, record how many litres you put in

4. Divide that litres reading by 2, post it here

5. Look for air leaks in the intake, search for "AFM solder fix" in this forum and follow that guide (get a spare AFM while you're at it), inspect/change oxygen sensor if you haven't already (as GTSBoy mentioned).

There could be other things, you haven't mentioned any mods done to the car (engine related).

For reference, my Subaru wagon does 10-13L/100km depending on driving (2.5L turbo manual).

My C34 Stagea with a big turbo would do 15L/100 round town if pushed regularly or 12 taking it easy. On a trip at a steady 110 with the odd passing burst about 9L/100km

At the track would empty the tank in minutes (only slight exaggeration).

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
