250kms if I am lucky..

PULP and Octane Booster. No access to 98, so I run BP PULP and I used Nulon Pro Strength Octane Booster as insurance as our fuel is not the best up here. Tuned on PULP..

Worst tank 165kms

Best tank 330kms

Most fun tank was definitely the 165km tank..

i used to get about 300km/tank

i put some wynns injector cleaner in a few weeks ago, and it got 400km, and have had consistantly over 350km since :O

anyone know any ways to stop the stock ecu running so damn rich?

i cleaned my car last week, used about 2 tanks of fuel on the weekend, and have a MASSIVE fuel stain on the back already.

i can hold my hand to the exhaust, and i get black dots on it!

My car gets similar economy to Gazza750's...R32 GTR, most km's i've ever had to a tank was 480, driving only in metro area. Usually get around 450 - 460. I run 0.9 bar of boost and i've worked out that with the mines rom, my car likes a bit of a poke for the first 1/4 to 1/3 of a tank as it seems to burn more efficiently or something. After that I drive it pretty tame, as the tune is very rich. High speed really chews through the juice - even just a short stint :P If I incorporate a cruise, i'll be lucky to make 400km to the tank.

Car is my daily driver. If I fill up once the empty light is on, i'm looking at $85 - $90 for medium priced Ultimate 98 (I find the price ranges between 1.41 and 1.51 p/l). I get through that in less than a week. Car has a few nice mods but is relatively stock.

Not sure if the tank is bigger but I got roughly 550kms with 1/8 of a tank left on a run from Kalgoorlie back to Perth... Forgot to add, that was doing 120km p/h majority of the drive..

She doesn't like city driving, seems to chew threw it pretty quick!!

Most I have got is 520 kms driving like an old man around town while I was still living in Sydney, but on a long haul I sneak up to 580 + Kms....

Track day at Eastern Creek = 170 or so Kms...

Driving around town normally 480 +kms

Driving around with a bit of gusto 350-ish

That is all

Mike

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
