Depends very much on how you drive it.

If you have only owned it for 2weeks.The first thing i would have done was a full service ie:

Oil

Oil filter

Air filter

Coolant

Plugs

02 sensor

That way you know the basics are done and you can work from there to find your fuel economy problem.

comparing economy is useless unless you take into account several things.

city or highway miles? (obvious and very important)

short or medium/long duration? (far more important than ppl think)

how do you drive? are you the first off the lights? how often do you see boost/high rpm?

what mods are done?

the first few weeks i had my car, i was getting between 180 - 250 kms per tank. these days i get about 350kms to a tank, with more mods, more boost, more power. that includes NO highway miles.

True That.... Most of my driving is around 20-30min trips with long times off boost. I only go to the redline 5-10 times a tank...

When I have been sitting on the highway on lovely long easy drives (to Canberra) I have seen as much as 600km a tank... Then again, on a cruise I got as low as 340km (slightly more spirited :D)

my last tank i got 430km's.. and i was not taking it easy either.. with the boost turned up to around 350rwkw.

its all in the tune!

as reputable as you are. i dont belive u untill i see it with my own eyes. simply for the fact that if my r33 185rwkw conservativly can only make 460/klms sydney west driving with me rolling in neutral every where i could. though hardly any of those klms were hwy. i can hardly see a car that is making 350rwkw making it that far, with as u say, "not driven easily". you were no doubt rolling everywhere i would think.

have you have changed things like gearing in the drivetrain, 02 sensors ra ra ra?

skylines are petrol whores to say the least.

wow i have a gts n im only getting round 300km a tank, city driving, short trips and only revin out at about 3 3n a half thousand.

city driving and short trips are the worst combo for economy. short trips means you're running on the cold (rich) maps. city driving means stop start traffic, and nowhere to gain momentum.

but who gives a shit really. its a turbo skyline at the end of the day. enjoy it.

ive stopped caring about how much fuel i go through.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
