I've managed to get better fuel economy lately with the new exhaust. On a combination of country and mainly city driving, I've managed to squeeze out about 450km from a tank.....and thats fairly normal driving. :P Only got horny a couple of times! LOL :happy::)

So from all accounts the driveline is pretty much bulletproof unless you start doing silly things :rolleyes: , Just wondering as well, are there used by dates on other parts of the car so to speak? Ie does the suspension normally go at 180,000? brakes etc? I take it the HICAS lasts a long time usually? I have 4ws on my mx6 and I know mazda charges crazy money for a new rack, Is it the same with nissan?

thx

Fuel economy is very dependant on your mods and your driving style.

I drive my stag to work every day (stop-start peak hour traffic in adelaide, north east suburbs into town and back).

Its a S2 auto and these days I get around 12.5 - 13.5L/100km and I do usually have a heavier-than-normal right foot... :stupid:

I also have a hiflow turbo now (very restricted by stock exhaust - but thats a good thing for me until i can afford to upgrade the fuel management/cooling - some of you may have read my thread a while ago) - and I'm thinking that the slightly extra turbo lag has actually improved my fuel economy - as I'm now off boost for most of my drive into town etc.

I'd like to see the effect of this on the freeway at 100-110km/h too as my turbo is hardly spinning at 2400rpm which is where it sits at 100km/h. The car is still much quicker than before too, the turbo comes on hard at around 3000-3500rpm and goes great even with the stock exhaust. Its running 8psi but I'd estimate that to be roughly equivalent to 10-11psi with the stock turbo - hard to say really.

But yeah for a S2 with the usual mods and somewhere under 180awkw I dont think its unreasonable to be able to get under 15L/100km. It really depends how you want to drive it. I dont mean for you not to enjoy your car, but just limit the amount of times you put your foot to the floor. Open throttle is where the fuel disappears quickly. :unsure:

Other than that, my advice - price up a few stags online, work out whether you want a S1 + mods or S2 (usually lower km's, and ~20kw more than S1 stock) and then get one!! you wont regret it! :mad:

Doesn't look as I'll get this one, as the dealer has told j-spec they can't inspect the vehicle atm, due to an "engine problem" which they haven't had the time to fix, they can check it after its been fixed though...... :D thats encouraging... not.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
