HELLO i own a R34 coupe 2.5ltr neo, tiptronic auto ewww, has a K&N air filter, removed the cat, new iridium sparkplugs, well serviced only done 100K... the problem is i fill it up at $80-$90 right to the top about 60ltrs i think and it only goes as far as 400k-430k depending on how i drive it!!! ive had it hooked up on the scanner tool and all the sensors are fine. thinking of some performance chip in future aswell but not if it going to drain more fuel and yes i will be getting and exhaust extractor and putting a manual in soon .. the point is that i should get 100km to 9.5ltr-10.5ltrs of gas.. any ideas if there could be something else wrong...cheers

Ive got an R32 RB25DE

i get a little less then you normally..

BTW if you do a search theres 11tybillion threads on similar topics

yes there is heaps of threads on this but none to do with later models, i have heard about the vct on the neo heads can sometimes put the timing out

just thinking out loud here.

seems like the NAs no longer get the fuel efficiency they used to. wonder why?

back when i first got my car, i'd get 500km+ easily... 600 when i took it for highway, easy drives.

is it the fuel or the age of these cars? two of my mate's gtsts (one is stockish, runs high 13s. one has 250+rwkw, runs mid 12s) both get something like 400-450km/tank driving off boost.

Funny, mine did the opposite. When i got it it was getting about 330-40kms to a tank (9km/l), and now i'm getting around 600kms. The only thing i changed was running V-Power for a while while it was cheap, and then kept running vortex or Unleaded 95 from shell.

i got about 480k's out of my last tank of v power racing... the fuel light was on and off for like 3 days... never been so scared in my life! :blink:

i normally aim for 400, my needle is pretty low about then, but theres still about 15litres left in there...

im running a GTS-T though, and often run it boosted...

woah thats incredibly depressing...

i get around 500k's to a tank average driving with my beast :blink:

your economy is not normal people, maybe professionally clean injectors, new 02, clean afm, make sure the engines in good service and tune (plugs, timing) check compression... no exhaust leaks? smash it on the dyno, check out a/f?

invest in a safc and lean out your mixes :P

I'm getting about 330 till the fuel lights come on.

I think I average about 100km for every line. 3/4 tank = done 100km.. roughly..

would LOVE to learn how make my car go further every tank..

cheers

Exactly the same.

I seem to get close to 100km per line, then it just drops bad when it goes past half way haha.

R33GTST - I average 500kms per 45-50L - 70%-80% is freeway driving though .....

yeah i do about 5% freeway/motorway driving... depends where i go on the weekend... even then, im probably in a rush and still boosting it :P

my fuel economy is about right... probably a little better then normal... im not very conservative with fuel, yet it goes pretty far :D

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
