R32 Fuel Economy

[acidkid]

Hi i recently got my Ps and started driving my 92 R32 GTS25 by myself and i have filled up twice now and i think im getting really bad fuel economy. Im a pertty big noob when it comes to cars so i couldnt really tell u wat mods i got. Both times i did around 320 km per full 60L tank and i asked a few ppl and their gtrs do better then that so im just wondering if there is anything wrong and if your guys got any suggestions thx

[Savage Bliss]

Such a large factor with fuel ecconomy is dependant on how the individual drives the vehicle...

e.g. Car: R32 GTS-t

Mods: Lots...

Good week at work, 400kms easily...

Sh*t week at work - girlfriend - momentary fits of rage, 253kms (and own PB)

It really does depend mate... also, mods? Any? It's an RB25, and you might have your lead shoes on...

But around the 330 - 400 mark I think you'll find is pretty stock standard.

Cheers.

ahhh thx for a suggestion i dont think i drive so aggressively and mods probably just an exaust not much just thought something might b wrong cause its a NA and ppl tell me their gtst and gtr does better

No champ your fuel econ is shit i recon

auto rb25t with 190rwkws and i get 370 to 450 from 60l champ

o2 sensor + when was the last service

yeah mate, my r33 gtst does better than that, even when i'm floggin it. Like miller said, o2 sensor and a good service might sort it out.

[Murry33]

Do a major service on your car, something sounds wrong on yoursl ...my r32 na does way better than that on a full tank like 400-500+kms., with the occasional flooring it lol.....

some advise, watch your fuel guage when driving normaly, then watch it when you floor it a few times the fuel guage shows how much you really use when doing that.

thats 15L/100km ! thats hardly good either..

acidkid: if yours is auto that could explain a lot.. seems like economy on the autos is quite a bit worse than the manual.

[fEkuaR]

i get a tad over 10l per 100km in my 33 gtst with basics modifications. And i give it quite a bit at times.

[eMsta]

I get something like 130 - 140 klms per 15 litres for my manual r33 - Though just today i got 120 in about 20 ltrs ( but thats cos I had a full tank, and i was demonstrating the turbo for a couple of my friends).

[Spook's_Skyline]

22 litres for 100 km

my car is sucking up the juice like no ones business

[gt-t_r34]

i usally fill up again at about 1/2 but the other week i got down to half way between 1/4 and empty and had 480km done from full to the brim not too shabby for r32 rb20det i have exhaust and pod.

[rukus]

60L?

that's running the tank almost dry, no?

i get about 350kms out of 60-65L in my stock as a rock gtr r32

[acidkid]

i'll keep my eyes on the garuge next time hopefully i can see some difference

[= SUPERMAN =]

ill be lucky to get over 300kms..sux

[R33TOM]

who cares about fuel economy, you drive a skyline not a toyota echo,

if i want fuel economy i wouldnt be driving a skyline,

enjoy it while petrol is still affordable, theres less and less oil in the world, in 10 years time we'll prob be paying $2- $3 a litre

[predator]

less than 12 months time I think...

[sammus]

yeah. at the start of each tank i've been known to say many a time "okay, no hooning it for the whole tank to see how many Ks you can get" ... well, that plan always goes out the window.

i get a bit over 300km to the tank most of the time. i should change these o2 sensors like everyone says! i have trained myself to always just put it in neutral down hills and rolling toward the lights though.

[SUGO]

my car is r34 gt4

i got 21 litre per 100 km

i think it's very bad

i already check once by maintenance man. they check exhaust emission. and said no any problem...

i want to know: how to check o2 sensor? and can inject oil to tank fix problem?

i bought this car form japan, nobody driver it in nearly half year, is this reason for fuel problem?

if your car was turbo i would say that u should be able to get more but NA you should definately be getting more, probably should be closer to 450. Definately get it checked out by an EFI diagnostic center.

If you put it in neutral that would use more fuel according to my understanding.

When you put it in neutral the motor has to dump fuel in to stop the car from stalling. If you are rolling down a hill or rolling towards the lights in gear you are using less fuel because your motor is turning itself from the momentum of your wheels. I think most ECUs cut fuel on deacceleration.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
