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

Why would you skimp on something as important as engine oil?

x2

fully synthetic please

nulon hi-tech fast flowing has been going pretty well in mine but its not a true fully synthetic (only class 3, barely fully syn)

will be changing to Gulf Western S6000 Sougi next week, its hard to find but its as good as Motul 300v Chrono apparently but only $60-70 for 5 litres

and its nothing like the cheapo $12/bottle stuff supercheap sell either

worth looking for really

ive posted mods a few pages back,

got pod, fmic, boosted slightly more then stock, dump off the turbo, gutted cat and hks exhaust, thats about it.

i dont drive her too too hard but i still give her a push here and there....

Nice one. Pretty surprising you haven't got it retuned or anything. I just filled up today. 410km and 54L (13.1L/100km). Not brilliant.. I really want to get a wideband AFR meter and see if I can lean it out a bit more for normal driving. Hardly gunned it at all during the last tank.

I know I know what you mean. I have 3 cars and the other 2 uses Royal Purple which is not cheap. Although I use cheaper mineral oil for the Stag, I change it more often. Still that's no excuse! :blink:

Well now that one car is going, I thought I'd use a better oil on the Stag so hence the change.

my S2 gets about 320k's per tank, maybe alittle more if i am highway driving. main reason is that i have a gtr-s, front mount, exhaust,stock boost, stock maps (nistune fitted).

once i get the board tuned i'll find the economy will go up dramactley.

...I also would like to say, i really hope to see under 10l per 100k after my nistune install, hi-flow panel filter and turbo back exhuast....

How has fuel economy gone since the nistune? I have very similar mods and am tempted if it's going to reduce my fuel bill dramatically.

626kms 78.8L (not impressive, but it was fun :( )

As an aside, I would not recommend running so low on fuel in an M35, I accelerated moderately up a minor incline, only to have the engine drop out on me for a split second due to a lack of fuel picked up by the pump lol.

G'day,

Just picked up a std S2 RS4V and drove it back from sydney to melbourne.

From Goulburn Caltex to Caltex Avenel 99% highway driving at 110kmph we used near on exactly 60lts of 95RON for 557km (odo actualy read 570kms due to smaller than std tyres fitted).

However a drive (correct tyre sizes) around town and highway, pretty much a 50/50 split saw a drop in 100kms of economy ie 470kms for again pretty much 60ltrs of 95Ron Caltex.

Deduce from that that maybe a drive 100% round town means 370km per 60ltrs - "Crikey"!

And also light comes on at close to 60lts used - Are these things 65lt or 68lt tanks?

Thought I'd add my readings.

"Safe Boating",

Mike.

675 km's for 75 L y'day

roof rack, windows down, air con on, no pussy footing

gonna fit a fuelstar fuel catalyst soon too so will get back to you on that when I do

The available evidence would seem to indicate these are a con. Did you fit one and has there been a long term difference in consumption?

grab yourself a new oxygen sensor and it should help out a bit, the sensors only have a limited lifespan and rarely get replaced in japland

i also run 95 in my stagea due to the exorbitant price of 98 in tas but it does lack a bit of power compared with 98 and i get slightly less fuel consumption with it too (the ecu will run more timing on 98 = better fuel economy)

no one makes an aftermarket o2 sensor for the s2 stageas (rb25 neo same as r34 gtt) so its either stock nissan one for about $250 or get one for a s1, r33 gts-25t, n15 sss pulsar and cut and re-crimp the wiring using your old plug

Pipster11 thanks for the comments.

I have read all the comments on fuel economy in this and other threads, "helpfull info - thanks everyone" (O2 sensor change duly noted).

The 570kms that I got, all be it highway run, seems to be quite good when compared - so I am more than happy with it. Had a bit of weight (4 x 19x8.5 with tyres) in the back aswell.

It's daily route will be 85% highway 15% town - hoping for at least 500ks a tank normal driving.

Cheers.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
