If you unplug your fuel lines your car ain't running :) Technically you're not "driving" so you don't win sorry :P

Yeah 250kms; most of that tank was spent going nowhere; just revving the engine trying out some new stuff we did.

With that in mind; you could leave your car idling for a day and you get 0kms out of a tank!

Say have you guys seen the 98 Octane they sell at Liberty? It's about the same price as regular unleaded because it contains more ethanol, but apparently on rexnet the guys have found good experiences with it.

What are your thoughts on Liberty 98 Octane PULP?

Wouldn't go near it... sorry!

Fuel is not that expensive at the moment; staying relatively stable when you think about it. Meh; if you think 98RON from BP, Shell or Caltex is bad - try getting your fuel from ELF (113RON)

The race team opposite us purchased 105L for $1,100.00 :P

Thanks for the tip Stan. I've just done a search on SAU... guess the overall sentiment is without a full retune it is not quite suitable for our pre 2005 skylines.

well then i'll just poke a hole in my tank then go for a drive down the road, and drive with my left foot on the brakes so i have to keep it floored to go anywhere.

But you're still going somewhere...

Why not just jump into the car; and just hold the revs down 0kms, 65L

Cool my car uses infinite L of fuel to go nowhere

thats part of my problem, the maccas here sux, so you spend ages sitting in drive thru, and its too cold to turn the car off.

Normally floats around the 350-400km mark.

i haven't got over about 320-330 since i've had the car, but i am only running stock ecu, no piggy back, so i'm running pretty rich. and it is hilly as hell here, so that chews up a bit more fuel. put a new o2 sensor in hoping it would help but it didn't. but i am also running pretty high boost, and just put in a remapped ecu which is dumping in even more fuel. but getting a safc when i get my tax back.

Yeah I got a stock manual S2 R33 gtst with pod filter and cat back HKS 3". I drive 50/50 pretty enthusiastically/cruising and im lucky to see 240-300kms to about 55-60 litres. Would a SAFC help to reduce fuel consumption? What other mods could reduce usage as I am spending S**T loads on fuel atm.

Damn some of you guys are using some serious fuel huh. Its just as bad as a Gen III commodore which is twice the size!! I'd say get your O2 sensors checked and try keeping off boost when taking off the lights if you can.

Thanks for the replies guys. Well good to know it's not uncommon then. I'm coming from an R32 Gts-t, and that averaged around 10L/100km. Even with an added 500cc and variable timing, I wouldn't have thought the R34 GTT would be that much thirstier.. oh well :mad:

Might try freeing up the exhaust and running a SAFC and seeing if that helps things along a little.

It definitely gets me why fuel consumption vary's so much between the models. >_<

Its 100% not the displacement as my fuel consumption hardly changed going from the 2ltr to the 3ltr.

Normal driving (no open road or peak hour, just local short trips with a 50-80km/h speed limit) with the odd squirt see's on average 11L/100km's, dipping to 10.5ish if i'm really cruisy for the whole tank.

Last tank of juice I drove it hard, every set of lights was up on boost in every gear, usually i short shift around at max 2000-2500rpm with almost zero vac and get it in top gear asap and keep it in decel fuel cut for as long as possible. But yes.. this tank, many hills squirts, reminded me why I bought the car in the first place and suprised me how well they really do handle. But yer.. last tank... Bumped up marginally to 12L/100km's. Or.. 430km's to 52litres.

The cars running clean injectors and the o2 sensor has been replaced with a genuine item. I replaced the o2 sensor when fuel economy dipped to 350km/s per 50litres. It made no difference, replaced injectors (larger items and trimmed fuel in pfc). Fuel economy instantly back. I doubt this is every ones problem but it was mine. :O

Maybe the R33/R34's VCT actually hurts economy.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
