R32 Gtr Fuel Consumption.

[Byi]

Im currently in the process of selling my XR6 Turbo due to poor fuel consumption (18l/100km which usually gets me 320km from bowser to bowser) I have eyed a immaculate R32 GTR but before I make a commitment or a mistake, id love to hear members REAL experiences and figure regarding fuel consumption for the above model.

I have tried a few search variations but did not yield anything useful,

Cheers,

just drove my brothers R33 GTR (98 model) from brissy to melbourne and we managed an average of 10.5L/100km for the trip. city driving it sits around 12-13L/100

If you drive them slow, yes the fuel can be ok, but thats not what they're made for

On a highway i can get really, REALLY good fuel cons. but around town it just doesnt happen

my tuned R32 GTR gets around 20-23 l/100 depending on the driving condtions. it's probably at the worse end of the scale though being not a stock car, and tuned quite rich too.

results on Ultimate 98, for a bolt-on equipped car

mainly city, light throttle = 300-350km on a tank

" " hard accel more frequently = ~250km

mainly highway, no boosting = 550+km (i reckon i could get well over 600 on a long drive at continuous speed)

hooning = very few km/tank

they'll never match a Yaris for economy, but like Steve said, it's hardly the point of a GT-R.

18L/ 100km ????!?!?! Thats pretty heavy for an xr6. What sort of power output do they have?

[Modena]

No GTR but my GTST gets 14.5 on average city driving. Your xr6 T should get aroynd 15...

18L/ 100km ????!?!?! Thats pretty heavy for an xr6. What sort of power output do they have?

AFAIK they have 240kw from a 4L intercooled turbo

[Topaz]

50L ($70) gets me about 380-400km (12.5-13.1L / 100km) of peak hour freeway driving with only a little bit of heavy booting.

Moderately tuned with pump, injectors, FPR.....

[MANinGTR]

$80 of 98unleaded will get me around 350km. which makes driving the thing very expensive.

[Angus Smart]

Wow this week i got just over 300km on a full tank!

[Modena]

AFAIK they have 240kw from a 4L intercooled turbo

And just under 1700 KG

I get about 14.4l/100 in my R32 GTR around town and fairly enthusiastic country/mountain drives. only engine mods are Mines ECU and 3.5 exhaust. Never done a long highway run, but would expect alot better figures just cruising on the highway.

That sounds like very high fuel consumption for a XR6T.

My Stagea S2 (1658kg) gets around 13L/100 in the city and around 10L/100 on the highway and at the moment it isn't too far off the stock power for a XR6T. Also being AWD it has more losses through the drivetrain so if anything your fuel economy in the XR6T should be much better than mine, depending on mods of course.

Just another suggestion, by looking at a GTR are you infering that you no longer need a 4-door car?

If you'd prefer 4 doors you may consider a Stagea RS260 or 4-door skyline? Just thowing it out there...

I was getting 550km+ with 75% hwy, some city, some mountain. Fairly standard with just exhaust and r34 turbos.

^^ Now the owner of said vehicle - I get around 400 KM/tank in the city if I drive it quietly. However if I boot it, which I have been known to do, it go's down pretty quickly.

But eco is not what a GTR is designed for.

[gillies2001]

Same as NEIL SE (12-13 Lt per 100 Km

[GTRAAH]

Same as NEIL SE (12-13 Lt per 100 Km

Ive done 440km on a full tank on Plain Premium. Its stock and its a 94 model R32. And thats peak hour traffic through suburbia and city

[Big Rizza]

We need a definitive fuel consumption thread that can be sticky'd...

[ali-turko]

i got 300kms out half tank, with highway driving 2 hours straight, on and average i get 420-440kms and thats booting it here n there
