Which Fuel For R34 Gtt? 91 Ron Or Higher?

[Wacky Dee]

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

[PAV34]

Try and use 98 all the time!!

Never use 91 unless you really desperate and cant find 98 to get bck home..Even with 91, dont go on boost

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)

Have fun finding 98ron, i just got home from work after trying 3 different servo's.......grrrrr

Only 98ron... if you like your car that is

I've got almost 500k's out of a tank in my R34. Its pretty stock standard atm, but when you start modding it, expect that to go down,

250km half way mark for me but thats hardly boosting and driving like a slow ass. LOL!

98ron in my area is bone dry.

+1 for octane booster!!!!

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.

[DLOOOK]

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
