i filled up from empty 54lts or something of BP ultimate costing me around 70 bucks or so.

drove from brissy to noosa and back down the whole coast line. to brissy again then a few trip to work and back during the week. saw me get just 470km to the tank.

with a few hard drivings.. eg overtaking fast, and a few city run arounds.

also my clutch is rooted.. slips on boost so thats pretty good fuel eco.

Mods: pod, semi exhuast. i think.. thats it.. stock as.

SO not to bad but the looks of all these posts.

r32 sedan... 3" exhaust, pod, fmic, 11psi boost

i've dropped down to about 270-290km/55L from the 330-360km/55L that i was getting before the fmic install :)

that's all city driving, and well, i drive the skyline the way it's supposed to be used :)

i just put 100octane in last night. done 65km and my fuel guage hasnt moved. thats a first for me! ill keep you informed

is your fuel gauge's rate of change linear though? Mine moves slowly from a full tank and as i get to half a tank it starts to speed up.

and how much more expensive than unleaded is optimax extreme? heaps of others complained about their cars not working so well because they're tuned to the usual type of premium.

its pretty linear, slow at first then normal, then quick at last quarter.....

I did aboout 280km and i stil had a quarter of a tank left..i had exactly 200km to half a tank which is amazing.. ill normally have to fullup very shortly after 200km. that last 80km was some very sprited driving, alot of city crusing on a friday night....

it is about 5-6c more expensive then optimax... but definately worth it, so around 13-14c more expensive than normal premium which is pretty good.....

My car runs fine on it, so much more torque down low i barely need to boost it, so much more enthusiasim up high, i think it smokes a little bit more but thats prob burning ethanol... oh well its all good.. ill prob run a few tanks of 100 and a tank or 2 of 98 here and there......

You guys are killing me here :nyaanyaa:

R33 - pod - 3inch exhaust.

I only got 380kms out of 50litres, and 200kms of that was 5th gear freeway kms.

I'm looking at about 300kms per 50litres city driving.

I drive it fairly easy, for the first 10 mins, then i start watching my boost gauge.lol.

(gets up to 9psi on factory boost).

I cant help it, that's what skylines are made for.

Changed my O2 sensor last week. Has made no difference at all.

The way I see it, you want performance, it's gonna chew up fuel.

On the other hand, my mate's FPV F6 turbo goes through a tank every few days. Now that's crazy.

Just realised the topic is RB20's. sorry bout that.

half a tank so far.

94 bucks to fill

100km on the clock.

Damn mash, that's rough.

I'm still excited by my last tank - 511km! It worked out to be 11.76L/100km (stock pretty much everything). I felt like Kramer driving around with the orange fuel light glowing...

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
