My NA has been wonderful to me and this would have to be its only problem. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me out. I put 10 litres in and it only serves me 70kms. For an NA that can't be right. With soaring fuel prices at the moment i've had enough. I have just recently changed the oil, oil filter, spark plugs and fuel filter.... But one ongoing thing is i've always smelt fuel every now and then when driving her. If there was a leak it would have to be ever so small because i've had this problem for ages now. Is this a job i take to the mechanics to get her tuned? If so how much would that cost? and where in the east melb area would be the best.....

If any help could be given..it'd be greatly appreciated

Thanks heeps

have a look where the petrol cap is that reducer bit there is sometimes a bit loose

if your stopped with your engine running you might b able to c fumes coming out of there look in side mirrior

have a look at the injectors, see if they are damp around the plugs.

the smell will drift into the car through the air vents , and will probably be a bit stronger when car is stationary than moving.

could be o-rings or cracked injector body

10 litres for 70ks

jeez and your whinning??? u NA boys got da life

i get life 20L per 100ks

PS i have the same prob with petrol smell, let me know how ya fixed it and then i'll give that a go, i have had the prob for two years now, its only when i push in the hills think the slooshing around has some thing to do with it

yeah there is always fumes coming out of there when it's running....i know that my fuel filler thing comes straight out with the fuel hose when im filling it up...i doubt the fuel could be just evaperating... o rings or cracked injector body doesn't sound like a great load of fun.. let's just hope it isn't that.. i can't really take it anywhere either due to my wonderfully maxed out credit card.. the problem seems to be around the board...and as for you turbo ticoons! 20litres per 100kms...is that wonderful air rushing noise really worth it at 1.15 per litre?

most of us buy turbo skylines to go fast and not to be a poser in a 'line, so in repose that whushing noise question. it is worth 1.15 a litre

Some of us 18/19 year olds are too young for insurance companies to want to touch, so an N/A is the best option.

As to your 'poser in a line' comment, keep them to yourself mate. I would rather be seen in a non turbo R34 than a Mazda 6 or something equivilant, and that's the option I was faced with.

Whose to say there aren't posers who drive our turbo counterparts? Your comment has me wondering if you would fit into that very catergory.

let me clarify my statement.

if you buy a fast car, turbo/non turbo and not drive it fast (and in doing so use more fule than usual) the way the car was designed to be driven. then you are a poser.

and back onto the subject of this thread.

70K's to 10lts is bad for a non turbo. i get 200-210K's to 27litres. and thats fast acelerating/fast driving action.

let me clarify my statement.

if you buy a fast car, turbo/non turbo and not drive it fast (and in doing so use more fule than usual) the way the car was designed to be driven. then you are a poser.  

What a silly statement ! By your reckoning a person who drives a GTR must drive it fast else he is a poser. Who cares about traffic laws or the fact that you share the road with others or the fact that some of us dont desire to drive a car fast.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
