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

:thumbsup:

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

How many liters mate, is that 60? 70? 79.9? :P

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.

mines on eflex.. and also tuned with heaps of mods.

lol.

i'de rather get 350km compared to 450km

with 285 kw compared to 160kw lol

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?)

    • Ironically the GTT was quite reliable in the 7 years of ownership. From memory I've only had to replace a radiator and coilpacks out of inconvenience 
    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
