M35 averaged 9.69L/100km in the last week. Lowest was 8.00L/100km between Mildura and Wagga Wagga. That includes 3 days of city driving around Canberra so I'm pretty happy with that. Return trip was a bit thirstier due to head wind, more overtaking and.. urgency.

8L/100K is impressive. You running E10 or something?

on 98 i got 606 out of a tank,

it was a mix of city & highway,the mods i have are high flow turbo(stockish) high flow cat hdi inter-cooler and a k&n high flow panel air filter.ill be doing the same trip this weekend and ill try some 98 and see what i get this time around.

Screw you guys, I'm averaging 14.78L/100kms, according to the app on my phone. Best run was 12.37L/100, worst was 18.07L/00, but I think that included the drag day @ WSID.

Then again, I don't drive for economy.

+1 to this , I enjoy 2nd and 3rd gear too much.

I can understand C34 owners getting upset when M35 owners rub the C34 noses in our glorious 5 speed auto box, more leg room, less cabin noise, better weight distribution, newer technology, better handling, better interior, better ride, more room in the back, better stock power and better fuel economy....... :devil:

Most of what you said was true but I gotta say you can keep your "glorious" 5 speed auto gearbox. Its like this :- the VQ25DET is fantastic, but the laggy gearbox will keep you from really enjoying it.

I've owned both C34 and M35 - am back in a S2 C34 now, and my summary is as follows:

The ONE thing wrong with the M35 = drive-by-wire. I'm not sure if the drive-by-wire was the cause of the problem, but the gearbox was laggy as hell, and for me it really hurt the car.

Yes, the M35 is newer, and better in almost every way, except that in a stock for stock comparison, the C34 auto & throttle is WAY more responsive.

When I sold my M35 I stupidly bought a 2007 Ford wagon - what a heap of junk! After learning the hard way, I sold it after 3 weeks and returned to a stagea, but went for a C34 due to the lower price and lower running costs.

Both cars are great to own and drive - the C34 is more responsive and more "raw" (I think you feel more connected with the car), while the M35 is more comfortable and more luxurious (while being actually faster and handling better).

While on the topic of fuel economy, the difference between the two cars isn't that great:

My M35 got ~12L/100km city & 9.5L/100km highway

My C34 gets ~12.5L/100km city & 10.5L/100km highway

The M35 has different gear/diff ratios which helps a lot on the highway (the extra gear does make sense here).

Always get 400-450k's to a tank before the fuel light comes on in our S2 C34 with Neo RB25t. However, last tank we only managed 350k's before fuel light came on.... any ideas why? For the first time ever the Engine warning light came on too.

dead o2 sensor

or dying coilpacks

or boost leak

I'm at nearly 400ks for this current tank and it's getting damn close to fuel light time. I reckon I'll just nick 400 when it comes on. I would expect better for the driving I do (works out to be around 15l/100ks).

Mostly suburb driving. Still haven't figured out what my crappy miss is. Starting to lean towards coil packs. Might try gapping my plugs down and see if that helps a bit.

how do you test the o2 sensor?? i have been getting 350k's per tank for awhile now.

The best way to test them is is go here - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/135194-ntk-nissan-lambda-sensors-o2-sensors/page__p__2513840__hl__sensor__fromsearch__1#entry2513840 - buy a new one and replace it.

    • 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
    • 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!
