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!!!!

hahahaa =)

got 2 x SAU cars comming up from sydney for dyno tunes this weekend one for emmisons and one for a remap... might only be able to fit one more in as ive got 2 local cars to do as well.

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.

    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel
