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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
