ok after getting my car back the other day i went for a drive around my area sunday night...

after reading the "what do u rev to" thread i took every1's advise and only reved to about 2-2.5 with very few hits to about 5-6 when giving it a little..

now i went through the better part of 3/4 of a tank and only did a little over 200K's:confused:

i read in the thread that most ppl get about 500Ks out of a tank..

so whats up with my car? why am i using so much fuel?

its pretty much a stock car.. only a mild rear exhaust and blitz bov (which does cause the car to stall sometimes when braking after boosting)

hmmm.. I get 350km on a full tank.

The only time i ever got more than 400 was when I went on

the Joint Syd/Canberra cruise where i got 450kms.

It all depends how hard you are on the throttle and I think in

your situation, you making up for the time it was off the road

like Georgie.

bucket - yeh i ordered them dude, i should have em in about 2-3weeks

xrsist - thats just the think man, i was taking it easy (shifting at about 2-2.5) with very few bursts to about 5or6...

im acually really pissed off, i really gotta learn how to drive my car propperly... i dragged a what looked like stock commonwhore (V6 i think)

i mean i beat him, but not as easily as i would expect.

i mean my car is stock with only like 5-6pound boost (dont ask me why:confused: ) and i had a heavier friend with me.. but still....

for those guys who have installed safc's and have returned improved fuel efficiency's, who did your tuning? any tips on what and how to tune your safc? what ratio did you tune to?

what AFR do skylines (R34 GTT if you know) run stock? 10.5:1 ?

by leaning out mixtures, how did you find your performance? any noticeable increase or decrease?

i'd also like to hear from those ppl who have installed safc's and returned no or worse improvement?

fyi, with cat back exhaust & air filter the GTT averages about 330-350km city driving. add a trip to wollongong and it'll do 410-430km with a couple of spirited hits...

city driving and a old pacific hwy run and it did just over 300km's! thats woeful...

cheers,

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
