i have a 1998 semiauto r34 gtt. with intercooler, airfilter, BOV .and i drive it normally.but it just can keep going for about 280 km with a full tank.

i use #98 petrol, and fill in about 48 liters to make it full when the indicator tells me there was few petrol. is the fuel tank of gtt 50L ? i just want know a normal situation of the gtt's fuel consumption thanks a lot.

its all in how u drive the car keep it off boost and u will do fine. i have a r32 gtst with fmic dump pipie full exhaust stock cat uped boost pod filter. and i get 450 to 500 normaly but when i give it some i get bout 300 to 350 and thats not even on empty.

GTT tank is 65L. If you used 48L to top up then you have approximately another 17L left. 280kms to 48L is still pretty rich. I just filled up my tank today with 47L after having done 360kms.

The usual culprits are O2 sensor, spark plugs, AFM...perhaps take it for a tune and service.

NISMO is right, the tank is about 65L. I'll normally get about 400kms region to a full tank. I don't run it till the lights come out though. Got a 3" turbo back, fmic, pod, ssqv, boost at 12psi, foot is a little heavy at times :nyaanyaa:. Really depends on how you drive.

changing the o2 sensor will help, changed mine and i went from 300km a tank to about 430km tank.

This sounds more like it. I have a s2 stagea (r34 engine, gearbox), which is quite a bit heavier than a skyine and on 48L my car will get over 400km around town. Its got 160awkw too so its not stock either.

My guess is that you should at least be getting more than 350km on this amount of fuel, modified or not. If its doing less than that, you need to either adjust your driving style or look for whats causing the problem - eg. check your O2 sensor. :D

A good free-flowing exhaust, SAFC or similar, and improved ignition timing will help your fuel economy as well, not to mention a bigger turbo (off boost while cruising). :D

As others have previously mentioned, the fuel capacity is 65L so try pumping it as much as possible. Reducing the use of boost should help acheive more k's. If not u better get it checked out.

my 2c worth

the following could be causing it too

Dirty air filter - causing the motor to work harder than it needs to , cause its not getting the airflow it needs

Slightly too thick oil - are you using the correct grade of oil in it ? I mistakingly used some stuff that was too thick in another car I had - and I did notice a drop in economy

change the o2 sensor as previously advised

have you ever had the car on a dyno? the dyno readout of AFR can definately tell you a LOT about what your motor is doing. I think if you were chasing the most kays per tank .. an after market ecu or a few add in mods like a SAFC and a SITC ( I think thats the one that controls engine timing )

if you got the above fitted . and spent some time and money on a dyno tune.. you would probably get more power and use less fuel. dont forget if a motor is running really really rich .. then its safe.. but .. its just pissing fuel out the tail pipe , leaning the mix to a leaner (yet still safe ) will yeild more power and less fuel consumption - but dont fall into the trap though of getting a bit more power and driving like a maniac - cause of course your goign to use more fuel

good luck matey!

if you can afford it run with a good fuel like BP ultimate 98 - just less chance of it pinging/detonating if you push it hard.

Oh and .. have a look around .. because you can find " equivalent " o2 sensors that are usually less expensive. To be honest I am not 100% certain if the equivalent o2 sensor will be " just as good" as a geniune one. But its worth a go.

Make sure you get some good crimp connectors to join it up , as my previous experience with this proved that the wires they use on o2 sensors are impossible to solder ( I think they are stainless? )

thanks everyone .now i think i catch the key point.

another question : which grade of petrol should the gtt fill? #98?

As this had been covered many many times, anything just 98 Octane will be just fine. Be it BP Ultimate, Caltex Vortex 98, Shell V-Power, V-power Racing, Mobil Synergy, they are all fine. Just a personal preference on which 'BRAND' one prefer.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
