a tank is 45 litres so im guessing that i get about 22.5 litres per 100ks, which is ridiculous, i dont have a heavy foot but i do drive a lot of short distances do u think that this is the problem

if you do alot of stop and start driving and short trips you'll burn a hell of a lot more fuel than highway driving i used to get that sorta range when i was doing runaround driving in the city, also double check the last time your got a tune up.

A way you can gain more kms is to change to new oxygen sensors, new fuel filter, change back to stock air box and I think cleaning your air flow meter helps, but if your always having short trips, that explains why you don't get much out of a tank.

the fact that you do short trips doesn't help.

try getting a new o2 sensor. it may also be that your water temp sensor is dodgy as well so it is constantly running on cold start enrichment even when it is warm, or your thermostat may be a bit dodgy and making the car run cooler, which has a similar effect.

also where you live can make a difference too. where i live is hilly, so that means you will use more fuel than somewhere that is flat.

yer, as these guys say, im convinced its more the distance of driving you do than how you drive

as soon as i get out on the highway, i get much much better economy, than the normal driving to and from work

would easily get 400/450 ks to a tank on the highway, close to 300/350 to from work

whaaa???????

My tank is 61litres.....

and I average 10-11 litres per 100km (3" turbo back and a pod) and I dont drive slow either...

There is deffinately something wrong with your cars fuel consumption!!!

02 sensor problem maybe? that will hinder on fuel consumption, i get 300 k's with 16psi modded engine and turbo and thats non conservative driving, id get it looked at or check the 02 sensor that may be a start or tune with aftermarket computer

Unless my understanding of the narrow-band O2 sensor is wrong, it is for closed loop feedback. ie. cruise conditions. Unlikely that will have any impact on crappy fuel consumption if you are only doing 2-3km short run driving.

Cold start / low temp enrichment comes from the engine temp sensor feedback into the ECU. Yeah, you could alter the signal if you're savvy with electronics but it would likely run like a dog until warm.

I suggest you plan a weekend away, and just do some cruising. Steady speeds, off boost, and actually LOG your fuel usage from full tank back to full tank. Then see what results you have over 5-600km.

Many people don't know how to drive to achieve great economy, and FWIW, you don't have a vehicle designed to achieve it either.

I'm also running about 10psi. I get to 300k when the needle is almost to the empty but have not had the fuel light come on yet so could probably get more. I am also a lead foot. I used to get only about 220k when I was runnin 16psi on an aftermarket computer.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
