This must have been covered heaps, but I cant find anything on it......

With my RB25det VL, I get about 400km from the 50L tank

sooo, 12.5L/100kms

And I get about 500kms in highway driving........... 10L/100kms

The thing is though, I have a really low diff ratio...... 3.08s!

I need to put 4.11s on, because thats whats stock RB25det powered skyline have right?

So I was wondering whats the fuel economy for stock RB25det powered skylines, is it much different from what I'm getting now?

My engine revs at 2000rpm going 110km/h on the highway, but I know normal Skylines rev at about 2900rpm...

I mightput 3.9s on maybe?

Mate that is pretty good fuel economy..

My car is fairly standard (just exhaust) and I get about 15-16L/p100kms around town and hwy driving is a little better at 13-14l/p100kms

Diff ratio is like 4.3089 or something like that....

Car is stock I get around 420-450 out of my tank thats 65 litres. Its about 14.5 litres per 100 KM on average, also booting it every now and then.

On highway offcourse I get closer to 11-12 litres per 100 Km.

Also BP ultimate seems to last longer.

As for revs, mines auto and I get around 2.6K revs at around 100 Kms and closer to 2.9 K when 110 km/h.

That is pretty good....

I would be lucky to get that if i tried really hard....

FOund that i use more fuel with BP ultimate (was using mobil 95)

I can reach 480-500 Kms if I really pushed my car to the edge, it would probably come close to fully depleting my tank. Ive never tried, but the most I got out of my tank before petrol light came on (10-15 litres left) was around 460 Kms. So yeah pretty happy.

You should really use 98 PULP fuels... 95 is not good enough.

i get about that from using 7/8ths of a tank, the standard diff ratio on a r33 is 3.79:1 btw, i use ultimate fuel, and drive 50/50 highway/city :(

Yeah I only use 98 now.....

car runs better but the fuel economy is not as good....[

Check your o2 sensor...

33's have a 4.11 and rev at 2700 at 100km, another overdrive gear to put the revs back to 2000 would be great. I think 4.11 is perfect for the R33 in terms of performance but its a bit anoying on how how they rev at 100 ks. Unless I really drove like a nanna on the highway id never get 10L/100kms.

Hmm mines about 12.5L/100km. I calculate it everytime I fill up by seeing how many litres it takes and how many kms I've done. I thought it was pretty high but I guess its not too bad then?

that's pretty good mate

My Stagea S2 (rb25det neo - same as r34) is 1658kg compared to ya skylines (1400kg or less) so I'd expect the fuel economy to be worse.

Stock, the stagea did about 13.5L/100km city driving and 10.7L/100km on the highway.

Fit an SAFC or equivalent unit and these numbers will drop (the rb's run fairly rich from the factory).

Some guys have seen about 12.5L/100km in the city by installing a SAFC2 and exhaust.

I now have 3" exhaust, apexi air filter, and GT30 turbo and 10psi boost. Lots better response and performance than stock, and so far economy appears similar but it runs very rich. I have an safc ready to be fitted and tuned so that should help the fuel economy a lot - and will even squeeze more performance out due to it running more efficient.

Cool

thanks for the advice

late as to the convo, my R33 does about 13L per 100kms, 420km to 55 liters. Running really rich, leaves black carbon on the bumper, apexi power fc, city driving seems to get more milage

Even a stock R33 GTR can get ~12 L per 100 km.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
