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...

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

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
