wft? 600km per full tank?

mostly hightway driving?

how can you get 600km....i wish i have that man..

im mostly city driving a lots of traffic light and get

300km per 50litre before cleaning injector..

i cleaned injector last week not sure how many ill get this time...

good man good fuel!

Majority is highway with about 100km per tank of petrol city driving (have to drive into Canberra to get petrol :()

Only mods are the turboback exhaust, everything else is stock standard.

I was getting around 350km a tank when i first bought it but after changing the oil a few times it started making it past 400km a tank, a few weeks ago i changed all the filters it went up to 480km and then when i put the exhaust on i made it to 600km. No idea how it works or why it happened but it wasnt just a one off, I just filled up then and it worked out to be around 580km. These aren't full to empty readings though, its going by how many kilometers i have done (reset each fill) and how much i have to fill up to get it back to full, so unless the car uses more petrol as it gets lower it works out right. On the 600km tank i did 220km and filled up 24L, full tank is 65L, 65L/24L*220km= 595km.

Its incredibly easy to get fuel economy on a highway..

Recent trip to Albury.. 8.8Lts/100kms which equates to 738Kms to a tank

soon as i hit the city the fuel economy is anywhere between 13-16lts / 100kms

ok... hightway and city driving is complete different story right?

ill try mine on highway someday lol

so if you change all old filters, get more fuel eco?

i just changed oil filter twice since i bought the car.

i bought it about 2month ago, changed oil and oil filter at first time and changed again 3days ago when i having a injector clean

not sure its right things to winging about fuel while we driving high performance car which is skyline... but its so bad when other people whos got same car and get much higher fuel eco.... even with more power....

!@#$%^!@#%$@#%^&%^%$

!@#$%^!@#%$@#%^&%^%$

The people with more power/ using less fuel most likely have had their cars tuned..

Skylines run rich from the factory and get worse when you start modding (i think?)

Even a SAFC will make a difference..

and yes highway is completely different because you arent using the turbo

I got 550km from my tank when i drove it back from townsville...haven't seen that since. Getting round 300-350, with the occasional boot full. I use BP Ultimate or Optimax(which has been changed to v-power here.

DAM, best i have gotten out of mine was 33ltrs after doing 200k's.

For a full tank i might get to 250 for 45-50 litres around town, the previous owner said he was getting around 320 a tank but that was never boosting it (has a standard turbo) i did a highway trip last night, filled it up before i left, is at 1/8th of a tank now and i have done 320k's, will get litres when i fill up today.

The one thing this thread is missing is the ways to fix bad fuel economy.

Its an R33. fmic, exhaust, pod running standard bov and standard boost on 98ron.

R33 GTST with mild mods (standard turbo, injectors, fuel pump)

using 98oct BP ultimate

average driving to/from work is about 450km i think it's a 60ltr/tank

and around 500km+ for freeway driving

i would get max of 350km/60ltr if i drove hard >_<

hhmmmm

thats weird

i use shell v-power and get more k's of that than i do off bp ultimate (this is going back a few months)

havnt tested it recently due to clutch slipping, never hits boost

But i was getting 350-400kms per 55L tank, with daily work driving, and goin out 2 or 3 times within the week, along with sat night goin out, so wasnt too bad...

What would be certain things that increase fuel efficiency ??

O2 sensor ??

fuel pump ??

anything else ?

try injector clean

as ive done recently and fuel consumption had been improved about 2 or 3 less litre per 100km

i had 16 or 17litre per 100km before and now getting around 13litre per 100km

my mod is bov and air filter thats it.

scan you vehicle and if there are nothings wrong or faluty do clean your injector.

injector needs to be cleaned every 70k or 50k

the cost is around 280 to 360. most of the cost is labour

if you can take the injectors out, take them out youselve and take them to mechanics. for just clean them it wont be expesive

nothing technical when clean them if they have machine

cheers

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
