Hi guys, im just curious about how much kms you get out of a tank. Of course it depends on what mod u've got and how you drive. But i just need a rough idea.

I've got a fmic, full 3" exhaust, pod filter, and an ebc running about 10. Everything else is stock.

im using 98 octane. Just normal driving i'll get about 435 kms.

Anyone with similar mod? how much you get? im thinking of putting everything back to stock if its gonna get me further

due to the reason that i work far. Anyone running stock? how u go?

i just got pod, 3.5inch fujitsubo exhaust and i get about 400km with easy driving but i have never run the tank too close to empty so i could probably go further.... that doesnt happen anymore since i drive it harder now because im used to the car..... i get about 300-350km now.... but this is with old worn spark plugs and before my recent spring cleaning of my throttle body ( i think thats what its called)....i will fill up on tuesday and drive it soft for the next tank and see what i can get.... i should be able to get 450+ hopefully..... i'll let you know.

also it is going to be hard trying to keep the car off boost, i love the feeling of getting thrown back in my seat, so this experiment may not work but mabey i'll be able to get 350km with my normal driving instead of 250-300

haha i know the feeling... i've been experimenting a bit with fuel usage recently, not sure about the kms because when the needle is on E there's still a few more litres left etc.. but i can get about 12L/100km, which for a 65L tank equates to about 540kms for a whole tank. That's with just a 3inch turbo back exhaust, and granny driving :thumbsup:

I'm unsure how many litres the 32 gtr takes.. but i have filled it with 74L once when i was trying to run it dry. (3.5inch zaust, pods, mines ecu)

I usually fill it up with 70L on avg and do 320km very often.

Most i ever done in my gtr would b 390km / 70L.

I do drive to the city everyday tho with flowing traffic.. and i could prob use some new 02 sensors..

I think the economy is pathetic on my car but i still love it =].

My old ca18 s13 with lotsa mods used to do 300km / 60L. so meh im used to shit kms.

But no doubt u can get 400kms-500kms out of the gtr is no traffic lights or traffic exists lol.

R33 GTST

Cat back

10psi

pod

stock ECU

98 octane

approx. 450kms/tank

Best was 500kms. That made me blow my load.

Stay off boost if you want to increase kms you tightarses. As soon as you make full boost it's like you've swapped into a V8.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
