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.

Exactly!

I started to care a few weeks back and tried to drive my Hiace around to save some coin. But lets face it. It didnt last. The Skyline is so much nicer to drive and a good squirt is much fun. So it didnt last and im back in the Skyline:D

The 1st week i owned my R33 when it was stock i burnt off $200 worth of fuel :P

easter long weekend i filled up friday morning, went down to wollongong from sydney but took the stanwell tops exit, and came back up the same way, drove around all weekend, few hits here and there, but mostly normal driving, i got 480kms - the needle was on the Empty line but the low fuel light had not come on.

95 r33 manual, full turbo back exhaust, grounded boost control solonoid, pod, and front mount :cool:

i drove from bissy to bundaberg on the weekend (355km) filled up leaving, then filled up again in bundy (98 oct). used just a tad under 34 litres. i was really suprised to see that. It was all highway, and i sat on about 110km/h and was getting excited over taking people (3rd gear roar! :cool:)

basic mods: fmic, turbo back 3", pod with box and cold air, boost at 10psi. (95 r33 gts-t)

about 9.5L per 100k!

Okay Trust33.

Here is the emissions test that i passed, look at the fuel useage. 12.5 litres per hundred km's. and thats the emissions test. mixed city / free way driving i was getting much more.

The RTA recorded this reading. I am getting better results with my driving.

This good enough proof for you ? or do you need a dyno sheet as well ?

52L / 430kms x 100 = 12.09L /100km

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.

Yeah, thats about right. I have mild mods, fmic, pod, boost controller 11 psi and afm voltage bender. Get 480 - 550 km per tank. And it's auto. I just do one extra shift a week at work or something and use that to pay for my fuel. That way i don't really worry about it. Still $75 a tank hurts a little each time i fill up.

Then the boost comes on and the laughter begins!!!!

Sorry forgot to reply to this, no mods have been made to the gearing, I have looked into changing 5th gear to rev a extra 1000rpm lower on cruise because of the extra torque of my engine but everyone keeps telling me its not possible to do so yeah i still run stock r33 box and stock r33 manual dif 4.11:1

If you get a power FC (i say power FC because the AFM is the only way to go) and get it tuned properly you will be suprised the difference in economy you will get.

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

yeah would be a good idea... I just dont understand why people think getting fuel economy on a skyline is far fetched.. I mean think about it... they are only a 2.0 to 2.6 litre engines... how much fuel do they need to spin ?

No way near as much as a ls1 5.7 litre thats for sure. Just wish they would stop complaining about their fuel economy, maybe they need to realise that their 200$ dyno tune does NOTHING for cruise and they are just wasting money away for nothing. or they need to fix a problem they have somewhere.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
