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...

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
