Iv got a 25de and im sure i get less then 400km from a full tank im sure it uses way to much seems very thirtys iv just gone around the south island of new Zealand and by the time im home i think id have spent over 1g on gas only paid 1800 for the wag im about to burn it haha

 

 

After fitment of the following to my M35
1. Power intake duct
2. Fujitsubo legalis cat back exhaust
3. Scotty stainless dump pipe
On a recent trip I got 7.6L/100k. That was cruising down the Princes from Melbs to Bairnsdale (possibly with tail wind!)
I was running United 100.
Awesome! Had to re-do the calcs a couple of times!
I've done similar economy on highway trips (down to apollo bay for example), not giving it the berries and taking it easy.


I’m really hoping I can achieve close to that once it’s gone in for a few bits. Downpipe and a full service (will replace o2 at same time) and I’m hoping it’ll be less thirsty!

Both my PNM35s seem to be about the same fuel economy. Seeing 8.8l/100km on the (windy, hilly NZ) open road up to just over 12l/100km in stop/start traffic. Considering factory 50/70 economy rating is 12.5l/100km I'm quite happy with what I'm getting. I'm not babying them either.

Only as good as your right foot... :D

I was getting 300-320km a tank until recently in the S2 auto, was hovering around 16->18L/100km.

Change of spark plugs, cracked/hardened vacuum hoses and air intake hoses now down to 14.2->14.8L/100km and getting 400km a tank :)

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
