I get 4-450 every tank depending on how much of a thrashing it's been getting.

Only as good as your right foot...

: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.

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.

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
