what's your average fuel consumption and how do you normally use your car?

i was told my R33 GTS-4 would do about 11L/100km. i'll normally be using my car for short trips to the train station during weekdays (peak hour, so i can get to work in the city.. ughh...) and longer trips across melbourne over the weekend. do you think 11L/100km is a realistic average?

My GTR averages 15 to roughly 24L per 100, depends on the road :blink:

My supra around town is about 14L unless im being good with the throttle, but it uses next to nothing on the highway with constant throttle

My berlina uses 10L MAX around town, and basically runs on a drop when its on the highway

See the pattern? The more boring the car the less petrol it uses

low 11's / 100km. R34 GT-T, manual. full 3" stainless exhaust, manual boost controller. Tyres constantly at 38-40psi

But that's just burbs driving, mainly 60km/hr. So full city stop/start driving, 11.low/100

If i do some trips with some 100km/hr limits, i can get into the high 10's.

Never payed attention to how much my car takes but i've gotten almost 300km to a tank but usally arround 210-280 depending on how i drive and i've used up arround 1/4 of a tank hauling ass to work in 15 minutes or a little less, all i know is that i had to ease off a little 3/4 the way their because i saw the exaust temp light on (take that you sorry ass excuse for a turbo).

I'm not trying to brag, but one thing I always find puzzling about these fuel economy threads is that I get better fuel economy in my stagea than many people get in their skylines. Same engine, and more weight in the wagon (they're about 200-250kg heavier) and AWD and yet I'm getting 11-12L/100km driving to and from work (~30-45min drive). My car's not slow either (see my sig).

Obviously being in Adelaide the traffic isn't as heavy here but the difference shouldn't be more than 1-2L/100km at the most.

I would expect skylines to get less than 10L/100km or at least around 10-11L/100km in daily driving.

My stagea was doing 13-14L/100km when I bought it (stock) and with an exhaust, apexi SAFC, some ignition timing and a good tune, its now doing 2-2.5L/100km BETTER even though I'm running higher boost.

Hopefully you can improve your fuel economy too :D

I do very, very short trips (~5/6mins in the morning to work and same back home...could be three minutes if no traffic around...I could walk, but can't be bothered...it's cold in the morning anyway)

Around 14~18l/100km R33 GTS-T.

    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
