As I don't own an R31 Ti, this cant be specific, but!

In my collection I have a U12 Pintara Ti auto and that returns about the same as your R31 and it is a KA24E.

My old MX83 Cressida returned the best figures I could get, on highway cruising was 12L/100 and about 15/100 around town.

These 2 cars are similar in weight but the R31 has less HP as in 114Kw Vs 142Kw.

My latest Cressida on a recent trip to Melbourne, returned 10.5L/100 for 2011 Km and just got back from the Gold Coast and for 2312 Km returned 11.33L/100, so for over 4000K I got 10.9L/100 on average.

I think this is brilliant considering the cars are their respective top of the tree luxury versions, complete with all the trimmings & fruit salad.

I am though, questioning your computers calculation of 535k which tells me it says it only has 50L in the tank which is incorrect. I would guess it would have between 60 & 70L

Cheers, D

Your fuel consumption sounds about right. I have a Ti as well as a couple of others :happy:

The average consumption in traffic should be around 12 or 12.5, and on a trip should vary from 9.8 to 11.5. So you are right on the ball. The fuel tank is 65 litres, but the trip computer only takes into account around 50-55, so even your trip computer is right, because it has a 10 litre reserve.

Your trip computer has a hidden function as well. If you press the hour and the minute buttons together, it will tell you how many litres are left in the tank. This is very accurate, and will help better with distance to empty, taking into account all the fuel instead of just what the trip computer thinks it has.

So all in all, your trip computer is working accurately (the way it was intended anyway), and your fuel consumption is on the money.

i had an R31 sil with the 5spd manual and i used to get 8.9-9l/100k for long distance and around 9-10.5l/100k in and around the city and i used to get ~700k per tank {well 698ish} and even my GXE3 got similar figures.. try cleaning air filter and maybe new plugs and stuff cause my sil used to go heaps better afterdoing that.. lol that poor car ran the same oil for 1 year and a half :P over 30000ks but it still kept going hard they are wicked cars.. ive recently bought a WGNC34 Stagea cant wait to take that on a run up to cairns

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
