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

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. :unsure:

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.

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

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
