:D You don't have to drive slowly to get good economy mate.... just efficiently :)

although I guess it would be easier if you had that operation to remove the cinder block from your right foot :)

Well its going to be very interesting to see a before/after fuel econ for the Stagea after we get it Nistuned. Obviously we will running a bit more boost but the mix should be a bit leaner - so yeah, I really cant wait.

When I got my Nistune install and tune with the gcg hiflow (stock SMIC) I went from 130rwkw to 194rwkw and still get about the same distance to a tank - around 400-430kms. So yeah, I think it worked for me :D

Went down to nowra on monday mostly freeway driving I only got 570 out the tank and I still just under 10litres left wen I filled up best liters per hundred I got i think was 11.8

You have to learn to be lighter with the right foot Damo. LOL

i was sitting at 250kms at exactly half way - nearly stock rs4s

mostly city driving too, was prob on the highway for 50kms

anyone know if there is a cheap replacement to the neo o2 sensor? like how u can use a falcon one for 33's

i dont really wanna pay $200 from kudos motorsport for a nissan one

Pretty sure they're the same; I used a Bosch part, can't remember what the part no. is (I'll have a look for it) but I just called Sprint and asked for the Bosch EGO sensor for an EF Falcon lol. Then cut & solder plugs. Sensor cost ~$70.

You can use the falcon one - theres a thread on it in the DIY section.
Ah yeah that's right - this one

rad, i should have read on when i read it the first time

looks like my next purchase is gonna be one of those :)

cant wait

looks like 450kms from this tank hopefully (its been raining = mad sliding action)

  • 2 weeks later...

my Stag (S2 RS4S) seems to do pretty good on the highway

a mix of 50/50 city/highway returned ~ 11.9L/100km (42.9L for 359km)

and a 20/80 city/highway split (although this included some squirts through the twisties near Berry/Kangaroo Valley) and my fuel guage was on the low side of the half indicator for ~ 300kms.

not bad if you can keep the right foot in check, lol

I got a genuine Nissan one off Ebay for something like $120 delivered about 18months ago. I don't mind paying that little bit more than the generic bosch ones as at least you don't have to cut the plug.

But I wouldn't be to worried about 250kms on 1/2 tank. Thats really not that bad at all would have to see what you got after the rest of the tank is gone.

yeah, have emptied a couple of tanks now, 1st full take = 13.9 l/100, 2nd tank 13.4l/100 so im pretty happy

just got an ecutalk and it will show instant fuel consumption :rofl: and o2 voltages too - seems its getting a bit lazy

cruising at a constant speed of ~60 its getting close to 9l/100, yet to a bit of highway so im not sure what im doing at ~100kmh

is there much difference in economy between turbo and NA on a vq25?

Depends on how you drive.... but on the whole I would say there would be a significant different considering the VQ25dd is direct injection and runs a much higher compression than the VQ25det.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
