My last 3 tanks have been around 520-540km out of 56-58L.. ~10.7km/L

Power fc, high flow turbo on 12psi for daily driving. Spend a fair amount of time idling waiting for parking at uni and i dont drive like a granny either :laugh:

New O2 sensor, spark plugs and using engine braking to keep injector duty at 0% as much as possible help abit though :(

consistant 400-410 from about 65L... but need to get my pFC so I can lean it out and hopefully get a few more km's and she might stop trying to spray her ass black too!

0.9bar boost and id say a medium 2 hard drive + dredded peekhour freeways.

What are the other GTR owners gettin?

I got 520km off 47L this week. 9L/100km :P

I remapped my ECU about 3/4-1/2 way through the tank. Removing R&R made a huge difference... leaning out 5000 -> redline helped aswell when I felt like thrashing the ol rb20 :D

It needs more timing so there is still room for improvement

  • 3 weeks later...

Lucky to get 300km! But not complaining my 4wd had a 100l tank about $130+ to fill up and I would be lucky to get 350-400km out of it (in perth)! Not only does my skyline get me to places a hell of alot quicker, smoother and in more style I also find it much more of a pleasure to drive!

really odd thing happened with my car. usually if i chuck say $20 of BP ultimate in there i will get around 16L and prob around 130 ish km. anyway, i put in $20 of vortex last week and got 185km out of 16L - wtf? in my experience vortex gives me less km's than ultimate. still trying to work it out but meh.

I'm running a PowerFC and making 350rwhp.

I get around 450kms per tank. The fuel light usually comes on a bit past 400kms if it let it go that far. This includes some spirited driving, i reckon i could get 500+ if i babied it, but what's the point?! When it's driven fairly hard it really does guzzle though.

Interesting..

Ive allways gone BP Ultimate in my import cars but I have heard this about Vortex 3 times now..

maybe we should do our own little mythbusters style test and see how it turns out..

Vortex Vs BP ultimate..

i put some vortex in again last night thought i would try my luck with the same pump - yea right. bloody crap has given me nothing compared to the last batch they must have refilled it with the crap stuff. :ninja:

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
