I use BP Ultimate in my GT-R. If you drive like an absolute granma and pretty much never send the boost gauge too far above the zero mark/ always change up at 3000rpm or so, then you can get 600-650km out of a tank if you do mostly constant driving (till the fuel light comes on). But that's pretty painful.

I managed 400kms on 3/4 of a tank recently with a mix of light fanging/cruising/highway and city/town driving. Also, my car uses a plug'n'play Microtech LTX12 computer, which uses the Throttle Vs Map fuelling control, which is supposed to be more efficient than using the AFM's (A number of people have commented that they get better fuel economy when they set their Power FCs up with the D-Jetro option [which makes it work like the Microtech])

How bad can it get?- My car makes 260rwkW with stock turbs, and I once used 3/4 of a tank to travel 160km, which consisted of heaps and heaps of full-throttle thrashing.

What price fun?

GTR - can get as low as 200k's to a tank

Depends how you drive it

I meant bouncing it off the rev limiter

hey N1GTR,

but if u drive smoothly ud get way more than 200 ay

Of course it will be better on fuel without full boost, they can be quite good on fuel if you dont drive it on boost - but really, why else would you drive a GTR?

isn't this what he is implying?

I get about 450kms to a tank during the working week and weekend fun is literally half that :laugh:

Yes, thats what i was implying

Hope this helps :(

Feel free to PM me if you want to know more

better fuel economy with a map sensor system is load of poo, it wont matter. engine load is engine load. its just tuned differently.

i get 400k's to a full tank on city

and 600ks on highway

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
