The Term "Petrol hungry cars" can be very wild, so in your standard how much Litre/100kms is too hungry for you mate thats the question.

So if you want a car that need next to nothing to run buy:

"Smart 4 Two" A.K.A Smart-car

Echo

Yaris

Getz

Swift

If you don't want a small or a compact car but yet uses less fuel then:

Camry

Aurion

VE commodore

Accord Euro

New lancer

If you want a car that have a sporting looks or go fast feel but yet retain some sort of fuel economy then:

Mini

FTO

Civic Type-R

Integra Type-R

350Z

Non turbo Version of R34,R33,R32, WRX Rs, Supra

if you can keep your foot out of it and drive sedately it will be MUCH better than a rotor.

I have a wagon that will chew 60lt of 98 octane petrol in 290k if I drive it wild. sedate it will do 550 on the same tank.

a 34 NA is no more fuel guzzling than a 6 cyl commodore...and should definately be much better compared to a rotor.

althought my mrs gets 500-600 a full tank fuel using the cheaper ethnol blends.. FYI the NA auto RWD dynoed at 160hp @ rear wheel this is after a major service and tune as well

They are decent for a six cylinder with mine getting about 10liters per 100kms on average, thats better than my 2006 hilux ute which is a 4cylinder. I wouldn't waste your time getting an na (thats wat i have) nice car and all drives great, but is pretty slow and also don't get an auto (extra slow). A manual might be alright, but power wise i raced my old r31 manual with just extractors and exaust against my stock auto 34 and there was nothing between them, over 120km the 34 would flog it. You would probly get a bit better fuel economy out of the manual version as well.

    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
