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

NM35 VQ25DET

Factory ECU/Turbo etc.

Only mods: Aftermarket exhaust muffler, Blitz Panel filter and 'power duct'. New plugs etc.

Update to fuel economy:

Lowest to date: 9.54L/100K (Driving to Adelaide)

Highest to date: 15.20L/100K (repeatedly driving to work during peak hour damn it)

Most K's to a tank (or close to) 683

Avg economy 11.5L/100K

That's pretty good economy!

Haven't posted in here for a while, but reset my economy screen and travel info screen 2 and a bit weeks ago.

Over the past 1300kms, average fuel is now 9.9km/L and average speed is 52kph

What sort of driving do you do for that kind of economy?

cam lives in the wild...so its lots of freeway driving for him ;p

Fair bit of hwy (about 80% of my daily trip), but as it is my day-to-day drive I also have school zones and have to go up/down/up/down the Mt Eliza hills (let alone battle the shit drivers that seem to live there).... but also a fair bit of driving in the Frankston area.

lol @ "in the wild" Jethro.

Wouldn't have it any other way, although I do seem to get a lot more speeding fines :/

I've noticed since buying the car that the economy has been getting worse and worse!

Started off around 450-500 a tank (driving from Melbourne to Sydney)

Then it was hovering around the 350km mark, and now this tank is looking to be around the 200km mark!

I haven't driven much different since, I give it a bit of a boot from time to time but if anything I've been babying it with this tank.

all it has is an airfilter and nismo option exhaust, boost is stock.

I've ordered an 02 sensor in hopes that it's the problem, but knowing my luck it won't be.

Any ideas?

if it isnt your 02, it may also be your Air flow meter..

VQ25DET

e85 tune is giving me 350km to the tank.. and its supposedly still running rich as f**k :)

well last night i filled up i think 68-70 Litres, and it was at 315km..

so assuming theres another 10litres and about 15 to 30kms in it..

lol sorry didnt mention that..

being on Flex, i dont usually let it get to the light.. as its not "around the corner"

but as its running rich.. once i fix the boost issue and get a controller on there.. i think i should get atleast 400km ot of it :)

better than having 250km on 98 like i was pre tune lol

Man.. your economy sux.. :P

At the moment I can get 14.2L/100km (460km) with about 10 liters left in the tank on crappy stop start city driving. Usually get around 10.2L on the open road.

Please quote your usage in litres per hundred km as km per tank is too imprecise! (But something is very wrong)...What car do you have (C34? S1 , S2? VQ?)

Sorry,

Looks to be around the 19-20L/100km and beyond :(

I have a C34 Series 1.

Apparently the coolant temp sensor can effect fuel consumption too, anyone had this issue before?

hmm I'm getting 18L p/100km on LPG...have to refuel every 200km :yucky:

But its not all bad...with 250awkw and paying $20 to fill up the LPG I cant complain too much :glare:

That is rubbish economy mate, what do you get if you do the same driving on 98 (I believe you have a switch so you can manually select the fuel you are using, yes?)

      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?
