I have a bog stock R34 GT-t and im only getting 350klm from a tank on highway cycle without thrashing the car either.

what do you guys get from a tank? state your mods and driving habits!

do you have a suggestion to improve mine or is this just how it is?

Maintenance can play a big part in fuel economy.. Do all your fluids, plugs, o2 sensor, oil/fuel filter etc. If that doesn't work get some sort of engine management happening (even piggyback) and get your A/F ratios tuned etc.

My r34's mostly stock, and it gets about 420-430 before the fuel light comes on, with a mostly suburban driving and a bit of highway and a bit of 'spirited' driving. But what you have to remember is that the fuel light seems to come on really early in r34's, mine came on last time I filled up just before I turned into the petrol station and when i filled up all i could get in there was 50.5lts, meaning there was still 14.5ltrs in there! (65ltr tank) So maybe your fuel consumption isn't as bad as you think it is?

Do you run your air con constantly? Cause this could possibly make it use a bit more too.

I'd just get a full service and gap your plugs etc etc and see how that goes if you still think its using too much.

r33 auto pod filter fmic 3 1/2 exaust 508 ks so far still waiting for the light to come on . mixture of country drive gawler to victor and back and the rest city driving . im rapt so far

a update i gave in and filled the car at 520 ks cause i thought if the fuel light dosent work im going to get stuck on the side of the road lol . but surprisingly it only took 52 litres to do 520 ks so there was about 10 litres of fuel left in the tank so that works out at 10 litre per hundred ks that was a 200ks of country driving with a bit of boost in the overtaking lanes and the rest surban driving im pretty happy with that :-)

Mine's mostly city driving, range from 13-14.5L/100km depending on conditions, driving style, tyre pressures, etc. Still going to change o2 sensor and see if that improves it a bit more, it's not excessive atm, but with the way it is driven most of the time I think it could be a bit better. Oh and it's a bog stock manual R33 GTST.

My R33 GTR gets about 16L/100km if driven with some hard driving and some normal driving (ie. more normal gentle acceleration than thrashing).

Or 20L/100km if driven hard more often, the acceleration makes a huge difference for me, the more you stay off boost the less fuel that is used :banana:

On freeway drives i get about 550 - 600 before i need to fill up thats driving pretty conservative though, city driving im still gettin around 500 but depends on how much spirited driving i get up to. I got 3 inch, Front mount, CAI Pod and boost controller.

Other than that though the car seems pretty good on petrol, my driving is its downfall for economy.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
