For anyone that might be trying to decide between a NA R34 and GTT...

GET THE GT-T!! Seriously the extra cost in fuel is worth it for the much much better performance.

Its just another cost. Imports cost more to insure. Its just part of the cost of owning a great car.

Please dont get me wrong, I'm not saying that fuel cost shouldn't be considered.

Just factor it into the cost of the purchase price of the car, and get the turbo. You'll thank yourself later.

r34 gtt auto, i get roughly 410km out of tank, and thats if i drive like im 'driving miss daisy'...

go the turbo though as you will most likely end up in the na performance thread asking about turbo conversions, i know i did with my NA supra :no:

i shift around 2800 to 3000, with a little slightly hard acceleration sometimes, entering freeways, etc... and get about 12.5 - 13L/ 100km's from my 34 GT-T (manual, coupe)

i thought i shifted quite early, but i'm trying to shift at 2K and see if that makes any noticable difference on consumption.

SydneyKid reckons that the Shell 100 RON petrol (with ethanol) is even better than Ultimate... might give that a go. Although, i don't think he claimed it was any better economy though.

i've got a stock r34 gtt, use bp ultimate and drive sensibly most of the time:

450-475km's/tank. like a couple of guys from this thread although the vehicle guide says that r34's got 65 litres of fuel i've never filled up more than 60L.

how long should i get with my fuel light on it seems to come on at around 1/8th of a tank left i have slowly been pushing the limits of how low it will go but i dont want to be running it empty

oh and i get around 350--->>>400 km per tank if depending on the driving style (and how low I let it go)

and sorry for the hi jack but will getting a bigger turbo reduce fuel economy or is that more depending on if im on boost

it seems that you have turbo fuel figures but no NA fuel consumption figures so I'll add mine.

I've been getting 620+ Km's from my last 3-4 tanks and filling up with 58-59L each re-fill.

Km's travelled with the fuel light on ~ 110-120Km's.

The R34 is a great car to upgrade too but search and read through these forums more for extra info on them. One persons suggestion doesn't cover everyones needs/requirements.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
