I consistently use 16L/100. Mind you I live in a very hilly twisty area. Its fun to drive. I'm not complaining.

Have a few mods, still in the garage, but when fitted should ease the consumption.

Looking to the SEQ meet next weekend to sort a few things.

I thought my mods would ease my consumption too, but it's still about the same as when I bought the car over 3 years ago. I guess I could look at it that I'm getting more power for the same fuel, so therefore my consumption is being optimised, but not reduced.

unfortunately trying to calculate your fuel usage based on kms per tank gives everyone wildly varying results, as you dont know at what point each person fills their tank. the best way is to fill to the brim, drive for a while, fill to the brim again and calulate litres/100km using your trip counter and the figure on the pump.

around town i get 14 - 15L/100km, and thats a totally stock 96 model, driven lightly. the o2 sensor is probably up for replacement

thats what i've done in previous threads, but CBF'd these days, if i don't know what it uses, there is no reason to sell it :)

I have a Series 2 RS4 S so its manual... but I currently I am on nearly 500km to the tank and I havent hit the 'e' yet nor has the light come on so i think there is still a bit left in it.

It is also running 190rwkw.

Bloody hell that's awesome. What mods?

Yeah I love driving it! you can feel the extra weight over a skyline but now that I am used to it it is great! and besides before this I had a Mitusbishi GTO which was quite a heavy bugger 1700kg, however when it was on the freeway in 6th it would return 9l / 100km and that was with over 270 awkw Motec etc etc....

Mods to the stagea are,

Full exhust which is so quiet you would think it was stock

Trust front mount

Blitz ID3 boost controller

Power FC

Fuel Pump

BMC Panel filter

The injectors are maxed out so next will be

Injectors

HKS GTRS

Z32

possibly some cams but ill see how she goes!

I wouldnt expect the fuel consumption to get any worse unless I thrash it of course.

I was very suprised to see that my car got 536kms on 61ltrs of fuel. Only thing I did differently was fill up at a different BP. This little BP is sort of out of the mainstream traffic... so perhaps the 'main' one on read street is doing something to thier fuel :D

I was rather happy about that.. still prefer a car that will get 8/100kms though :nyaanyaa:

OK, So i have just taken the car ( 2000 s2 Stagea) on a long run down the South Coast and managed 545km mostly hwy. Its a large difference from 300km City lol.

Yeah, massive massive difference when driving on highway compared to city driving... I noticed that too.

Have fitted a new O2 sensor, 3" JJ bell mouth dump and X Force Hi Flow Cat and have 3' Cat Back.

Immediately noticed how much smoother she drives, also the extra response and power. Exhaust note is still super quiet so no boy racer accoustics affecting my judgement.

Have not had chance to check consumption, normally 16 or so. What I have noticed is that the exhaust is no longer like the insides of a coal fired chimney. Its not a grey lean burn look, but black with just a tinge of grey. Im thinking it is looking good.

Have found an auto elec up here on the Mountain who can fit my DFA,A/F ratio meter, O2 Sensor voltage meter and ALL my gauges. I am just gettint TFO to do it myself.

I'll keep you posted.

i just went for a trip over easter, Adelaide to bordertown and back. i have a series II RSV auto and filled up when i left and when i was just over 100 kms from home and just touching the 1/4 mark i filled up again. i had done 471 km and had used 54L. i seem to have a 60l tank so maybe the rwd's have an extra 5 ltr capacity. i consistently get around 480 to 520 km around town. i dont seem to get that much better economy when im out on the open road but i think i need to get my trans serviced as im not really sure if it kicks into over drive properly. my car sits on or just under 3000rpm at 110km/h does that sound about right to u guys or is that higher than normal. as far as i know the autos are a 4 speed with overdrive or is fouth the overdive gear.

mods are full exhaust with decat pipe and a trust airinx air filter

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
