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.

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

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

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.

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.

      Fuel Filter replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What's wrong with the OEM filter. They do the job perfectly. As to your actual problems. Stop driving the. Take it to a mechanic. If you actually do have a fuel delivery limitation and you are putting it under load, you could be killing it.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know the answer, but my uneducated guess is this will not work (or, not as you want it to). I would wire the SLD into VSS1, I bet that is what the limiter uses However, I also bet the ECU compares VSS1 and VSS2 and throws and error if they are different. Best suggestion I can make is wire it into VSS1 and see how you go, I guess the error will only appear above 180 when then SLD is active. If it appears at lower speeds put a switch into the SLD earth (or power supply) and only turn it on when you need to go over 180.

      Fuel Filter replacement

      By Diomedes_ · Posted

      Hi all, So, looking to do some general maintenance on the car, as it has developed a some slight (related?) problems; Three problems that I think are related. 1999 R34 GTR RB26 - engine will sometimes cut out while left on idle, but will keep going if I keep throttle input. Usually after having driven a while. Its random, somedays wont happen at all, others will happen once or twice in a half hour drive. - Second issue is that while driving, the car will sometimes not be able to get past 3k rpm, no matter how much throttle input I apply. - Lastly, car will sometimes be real laggy climbing through rpm, but if I apply lots of throttle problem will seem to clear and go back to normal. All issues come and go, again somedays no sign of any problem, other days will just be stuttering around for ages.   I think it might be either the fuel system, or maybe the AFM?   Either way, I am going to clean the AFMs, and replace the fuel filter, use some injector cleaner in the next few fill ups, and might look at doing the fuel pump aswell.   Question I have, is filter such as; https://www.efisolutions.com.au/pro-fuel-filter-30-micron-an8-orb-black Fine to replace the normal filter? Their product page says as a prefilter only and not as the main EFI filter, so I'm guessing I would still need the stock one? Can I get an aftermarket one that has AN8 fittings to replace the OEM one? Or is the OEM one just something you have to live with?

      I say this and there’s a Nistune r34 GTT MT ECU for sale on eBay.de but I need to figure out compatibility between the AT harness and MT ECU - TCS considered. I figure this HKS SLD is a quick bandaid anyhow.
