hey guys just got my r34 gtt but the 'aftermarket' manual mentions only unleaded fule - it doesn't specfy if it needs to be premium 95/98RON or if the standard 91RON is fine

what's generally recommended for the r34 gtt (manual) with stock everything? Cheers

filled 'er up with bp ultimate. My first tank .. cross my fingers my fuel economy isn't as bad as some of the horror stories I've heard around SAU (250km to a tank etc)

I just cracked 220 at the half way mark :)

Hmm this is a bit worrying... I've just got 300k out of 50l of BP Ultimate so that's approx. 17l/100kms, yet everyone here seems to be getting 400-500kms per tank.

I got the car last week and I think the dealer 'tuned' the computer or atleast I heard something along the lines. Could it be they've screwed up the fuel economy at the same time?? The only aftermaket mod I have right now is a 3" turbo back exhaust and bigger wheels. I haven't been 'racing' the car but it's mostly stop n go (under 70kmh) sort of traffic through the city with no highway driving whatsoever.

What do you guys think?

lol mate i think they're is something wrong with your car. R34GTT? 17l/100kms doesnt look right at all. :)

Unless you've been stuck in really horrible not moving traffic. You checked to make sure you're not leaking oil?

my advice would be to take it to a mechanic to check it out if you're continuously on 17l/100kms.

nothing to worry about. 300km out of 50 litres is still ok. Thats 16.67L/100km. You said it was city driving stop start up to 70km "no highway driving" And you said you've only had this car for a week, so of course you would be doing some "spirited driving" lol. You will get round 12L/100km with highway driving. And your economy will settle after you've had the car for a few more months im sure.

Few things to try on your 34 to get the fuel consumption down. Replace the O2 sensor, you can do this quite simply by removing the O2 sensor you've got and going down to repco for a replacement bosch unit. And disconnecting your battery to reset your ecu. Hopefully in a couple of tanks your ecu will have relearnt your driving habits and fuel consumption should level out again. Btw, always run 98 :D

    • 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
    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
