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.

FJ20 > Rb20

DR30 > r32

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.

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.

      That would be a rarity. You can emulate the function of the stalk just by bridging the appropriate pins in the connector. If you can make it function correctly by doing so, then the wiring etc is OK and it is the stalk.

      I've had these LEDs and a LED EP34 flasher relay in the car since 2020. No fuses were popped either. I'll multimeter and clean off the tarnish tomorrow. From how the lights were acting after I diddle the stick make me lean towards a stalk problem.

      Are you sure you can use LEDs in the indicator lamps? On a car that old? It doesn't work on many old cars because the indicator relay can't cope with the wrong impedance out at the lamp positions and the LEDs will happily light up even with minimal current flowing through the indicator relay. And when I say "indicator relay" I mean the flasher, not a relay relay. Beyond that, I would say that you have caused yourself a wiring fault and that you would be well advised to work through the wiring diagram and the actual loom with a multimeter.
