I set my trip meter to zero I put in a full tank. When I filled it up next it took 42 liters and did 410km's. So that works out to 10.3 liters/100km. It supprised me cause I did a fair bit of spritied dirving.

Whats a R32's fuel tank size? 60l?

Thats like 580 km off one tank if I drove all the way to empty. Probably get to 540 -550 before the light comes on. Car is stock except for the cat back exhaust.

my DR30 gets almost 450kms out of it on a good run.

when i put petrol in i usually put in $50 to keep it round, but with these petrol prices $50 is not filling as much as it used to (duh). turn the car on and there's a noticeable difference in where the needle used to get up to and where the needle gets to now.

it's a 60L tank i think. unsure.

yeah a RB20 is 60l, the most i got was 470, havnt risked it to get up to 500

I just filled up yesterday after a weekend of country driving. 470km's and the fuel needle was sitting just under 1/4. I went to fill it up expecting to put in 50 liters or so... 42.5 L :D

Thats like 9L/100km... I could have made it to 600km at that rate. For a car thats done 150k Km's, its a fuel efficiency beast :laugh:

my stocker car has been having some probs recently. Used to go about 10k/litre.now it does about 400km/50litres. I think my afm or something is stuffed. Runs wayyy tooo rich. Ocassionally loves to hunt too. Need to find out the prob soon, but i don't drive the car much so i don't feel it as much. Oh wells.

p/s: anyone got any idea to my prob? I searched around and came up with, O2 sensor, AFM(which i already cleaned with contact cleaner), The thing at the end of the plenum.. what's it called again? LoL. Those are the 3 things.

the amount you get out of a tank depends alot on how you drive it

and if you have the windows down or the aircon on

having the windows down decreases the aerodynamics of the vehicle and results in poor economy

i can get about 450km around town on a tank in my 33 with the windows up and not giving it much shit

unfortunately i can hear alot fuel not being exploded in the engine but in the exhaust

i wish i had an RB20DET in there.

mine's an FJ20DET, my engine goes way back but it's only done just over 160,000kms.

afm's been a bit of a worry lately so once that's fixed (tuesday) then hopefully it'll run a bit better.

Average 430km or so for 60lt in my GTR (N1 turbos/bigger injectors/fuel pump/PFC Djetro/1.5bar of boost etc)

Used to get about the same in my old GTR (stock)

My HR31 was awesome averaging 11l/100km around town and even better on the country hauls. Wish i still had that sort of economy.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
