really?

when i first bought the car i thought i should easily get 400 k's out of a full tank

the guy i bought the car off said it was running rich so i thought it definatley should be able to get more k's

but since i had the fuel pressure adjusted to what it should be their hasnt been much of a change and i thought something may have been wrong...

hi there mine gets 350 around town boosting it heaps, freeway ,or highway up here i easily get 550 out of a tank ,keep in mind that its only an auto if it were manual i reckon it'd be even better :nuke:

how much of a change in fuel pressure was made? and was it up or down. if the pressure was raised then economy would get worse. i get about 350-400k's to about 45L (about 12L/100k's) out of my missus SSS pulsar (natro sr20), and turbo cars chew much more fuel.

also they run pretty rich from the factory. just get a remap or a safc2.

i dont know what the fuel pressure is set at now but i know greg from autosport lowered by 20psi i think...

ever since then i do get more k's because i used to struggle to get 250 k's but now it varies around 300 to 350k's depending on if i use premium or regular fuel...

currently my car has done just over 250k's with using half a tank of petrol and all that is highway driving

you run your car on regular? seriously not a good idea. not a good idea at all.

I have a 32 GT-R, but i'll throw in a post anyway- on my last tank of fuel (1/2 Ultimate, 1/2 Optimax Extreme) i got 500km out of it, and just under half of that was cold start/city driving :)

gotta be happy with that from a GT-R

my friends Stag won't get better than around 300km to a tank no matter what

on the highway i get pretty good economy. i did a trip to brissy and back (about 380k's, with a little bit of WOT with 3 other people in the car (not high speed, just full noise up to the speed limit), and another 30km's of city driving, so 410km all up) and used 45L of fuel = just under 11L/100k's.

no i havent increased the boost

and it is basically stock....

this tank of fuel i got now, 1/2 was highway driving and the rest cold start city driving and i am just about to crack 360k's and i am basically out of fuel...

i usually seem to get less k's on a tank of 98 octane then 95....

what you also have to take into account is that you have a gts 4, which is heavier than a gts-t, and you are running your power through a 4wd system. this takes more power to turn than a 2wd system, so you would have to use slightly higher amounts of throttle to do the same speed as a 2wd.

ditto with every one else, even though mine is modded. If i take it up to the black spur and drive it around pretty hard i get about 320 bare min per tank, if i nurse it i can get 420, get about 380-400 in the city, which is sort of all-around driving

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
