Mine's sitting at around 14.7L at the moment. R34 Gtt Tiptronic.

You guys think I should replace the O2 sensor on it? This is the sensor on the dump/split pipe I take it? Do I have to get another R34 GTT O2 Sensor or can you get a universal replacement item somewhere?

Those of you with auto's.

Do remember auto's suck a fair bit more juice.

The only auto i've owned was a VL commodore back when they were about 10yrs old. I promptly dropped a manual in to it and instantly picked up ~80km's extra per tank or what worked out close to 2litres less per 100km's.

I own a stagea, 1658kg's so a tad heavier than skylines.

Its got 160kw at all 4 wheels and I average ~12.5L/100km city driving. Up to 13.5L/100km when using aircon all the time.

Recently got 9L/100km on open country roads - cold morning, no aircon (and with the car fully loaded up too).

Pretty happy with that. :spank:

almost as economical as a falcodore wagon and yet waaay quicker! :ninja:

I always heard stagea drinks a bit due to the weight & auto, but apparently i am wrong as your fuel consumption is great!

is it cause your's a s2 and been tuned tho?

If you want fuel ecconomy buy a bike, if you want a performance car dont worry about fuel ecconomy. The more power you make the more fuel you need.

I have never worked my ecconomy out, but I know its not that good (but I dont care). Just because a Skyline offers great performance at a budget price (we they do now, but not so much when I bought mine) will not make them an ecconomical car. If you can't afford the fuel (and tyres and maintenance) to drive it, dont buy any performance vehicle.

/end Rant LOL

I tend to think along a different line to that..... Yeah I wasn't too concerned about fuel economy when I bought my 33, but why pay for fuel that isn't gaining you any performance & possibly even making the car slower?

There is such a thing as too much fuel & I'm happy to have extra money left in my wallet at the end of each week while getting slightly better performance to what I used to.

How about I change your O2 sensor for you for free & you pay me the amount you save on petrol each week ;).

When was it last done? If you don't know & you consider your economy a bit poor, do it. It's the only way to be sure it's working ok. It's not worth going somewhere to get it check out, it'll probably cost you as much as just changing it in the first place.

& yeah it's the sensor that's mounted in the dump pipe (or exhaust mainfold for NA), but get the one designed for your car. Modifying other O2 sensors to connect to your loom is something that has to be done very well for it to work right & requires special crimps & insulation.

Weight & gearbox are always going to affect economy, but this just shows how small a difference it can be if things are maintained well.

well small update fuel gauge on last line getting worried fill up tomorrow though

done about 425km's no sign yet of fuel light either i read in my manual there is 6lts in the tank when the light goes on and i guesstimate 50km to 6Lt's

Calculated Results

Distance Traveled Since Last Fill Is 434 Kilometers (km)

Your Fuel Consumption Usage Is 7.75 Kilometers Per Liter or Gallon (km/L or km/G)

Your Fuel Consumption Usage Is 12.9 Liters or Gallons per 100 Kilometers (L/100km or G/100km)

Your Fuel Direct Expense Is 15.68 Euros Per Kilometer or Dollars Per Kilometer

Your Fuel Fill Expense Is About ,804.00 Euros This Fill or Dollars This Fill

i also had 10 lts left in the tank that was based on 56 lt put in the tank

Yesterday travelling interstate i managed just over 500 clicks on one tank and the fuel light hadnt shown up, but was very close. Worked out to be 11.7 litres per 100kms, that included a number of hard overtakes due to all the clipsal traffic. Other times with less traffic and a lighter foot scored 10 litres per 100km. Havent been paying attention to around town but from memory its obviously no where near that.

stock redtop rb20det running 12psi does about 13L/100km

City or highway makes no difference as there's always at least one hills run per tank to screw with the economy. Pretty happy with that as its got the crap old computer and it runs very rich at around 10:1

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
