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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
