Question guys,

Just trying to see if my car is on par with most R34 GT-T's

Going from a VS Commodore to the Skyline is a change especially in fuel.

I don’t particularly care about the fuel just the overall up keep on the car where how much fuel you go through is a usual indication.

I get around 250km (pushing it 260km)a tank on Mobile 8000 in Melbourne I live in the North & work in the Cityish location you may know it the MCG so hoddle st isn’t that bad of a start stop and is a fare length for those not in Melbourne.

Please others that read this with other cars tell me what you guys get from a tank.

i have a a auto r33 gtst and can quite easily get around 450ks out of tank with a mixture of normal driving plus a bit of boosting every now and then

"From a tank" is a very open statement - how much fuel are you actually putting in?

What is your actual consumption in litres per 100 km?

I have my R33 GTS-T tuned to get an amasing 10 litres / 100km (although most of this is highway running). My R33 GTR uses between 15 and 20 litres / 100km depending on how excited I get.

Fuel type can also impact your consumption, I use BP Ultimate in the GTS-T and Shell V-Power Racing (100 Octane) in the GTR.

Fark, Im lucky to get 350 / 360ks out of a full tank. I stop, start and go short distances in traffic though which obviously doesnt help :P

Thanks guys,

A Tank is 35L and after doing some tests in the old commodore and with the same driving patterns over a certain time mobil came out the victor yet to do this in the skyline.

I have the a question concerning fuel gauge in the 34, from full to 3/4 its nearly the whole tank in fuel is the gauge gone or is that the case.

1/2 to empty is around 10L

i think from memeory the r33 tank is about 63 litres or there abouts i usually fill fine when it gets to a quarter normally takes about 48 litres from there .ive only once driven it till the fuel light come on and at that stage it had done 480 ks .not sure how many litres are left when the light comes on tho

R34 fuel tank is 65L. So if your only putting in 35L you still have 20L sitting in the tank! Fuel light does come on fairly early in these cars....

Ave consumption for an R34GTT seems to be 14L/100kms for city driving (thats what Im getting anyway).

Wow... Read my tag for mods....

I average a tad over 500km for 49-52 litres of fuel... Go figure out the millage there!

Its how you drive it, and making sure your sensors are stuffed.... O2 sensor makes a rather big difference apparently....

GET A TUNE!!!!

Hey, I got an R34 as well.... Filled up tonight after the fuel light came on... lol

I put in $74.60 worth of BP Ultimate. At this point I had done 324Km's. Pretty crappy.

Cars a daily driver driving through traffic on the daily. Driven easy, got nothing to prove.

I read somewhere that the O2 Sensor/Oxygen sensor requires replacement after 40,000kms. Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong.

Im hoping this will help on my next service.

I read somewhere that the O2 Sensor/Oxygen sensor requires replacement after 40,000kms.

The o2 sensors to need to be replaced every now and again... If you have a multi-meter you can check it to make sure its functioning properly. Do a search to find out how...

The other thing that kills fuel economy is having mods that the stock ECU cant understand, therefore richens everything up.

Do you have an unsheilded pod filter???

I just went through my first tank of fuel on my new 98 R34 GTT and got 340kms out of 50l of BP Ultimate. All apart from the final 50kms of high way driving, was city (stop n go) driving. So the fuel eco isn't so great but then again it's not THAT bad either as it translates to less than 15l/100kms and that's 90% city driving.

I'm getting belts replaced this friday and will ask them to hook the car up to the computer and check if everything's alright ... might get a new O2 sensor I think, but apparently those aren't cheap (was quoted $150-200)

Anything less then 400km a tank i spretty absurd.... keep it off boost, change gears early in traffic and dont ride the clutch...

Hooking it up to the computer should allow you to check if the sensor is reading right... should tell you the volts coming out of it... And then you'll know if its stuffed or not.

Spending $150-$200 on a o2 sensor will save u money in petrol easy if its stuffed

You can get a universal O2 sensor for $60 off ebay but you have to crimp the wires in to the factory wires. I bought one but havnt hooked it up yet. Another member on here has done it sucessfuly with his R34.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
