R32 Gtr Fuel Economy Advice Needed

[Veilside R33]

Hi all,

Just need a quick heads up on anyone who owns or has owned an R32 GTR. Roughly how many kms do you get out of a tank (normal driving and hard driving, if you ever drive it normally, lol) and how many litres are the tanks?

Not going to say why just yet... but all shall be revealed in time.....

Andrew.

hi andrew, i think i met you at an open house a while ago, i think it was your parents house? i had a white 32gtr.

anyhoo, when i first bought my car i was happily getting 450k's from a tank. that's with a standard engine and a power fc, driven relatively sedately but often given a bit of poke if the driver in front is annoying me. unfortunately things have been going downhill lately and i'm lucky to get 350. dunno what's wrong but it's becoming a very expensive problem! and i've heard people getting as little as 250k's from a tank, on cars that have been more heavily modded than mine.

oh and the tank is 65 litres.

it all comes down to how you drive it and how its tuned.

Woah....I usually aim for around 500km + out of a tank. Its a R32 GTR...

Thats general driving around Adelaide....It evaporates when I'm having fun though

[shredder667]

500?!! you are the luckiest man on this earth. without trying to hijack the thread, what petrol do you use? i use bp ultimate if i can, as it seems to make the car produce less black smoke.

500??? Holy shit I couldn't even get that when it was stock! Best I have ever got from my tank is 400....

My average is 350 - 380 from a 60 litre tank so unless my maths is bad (highly possible) I think that works out to be around 16 litres per 100ks.

When I'm bad it's 280-300...

if you drive it right you can get down to 11-12L per 100km in town. i recently managed 10.24L/100km doing mostly highway driving.

I'm only running woolies premium. Tuning has a lot to do with it. No air leaks, good signals from sensors etc, and make sure your you timing is advanced....retarding it for power kills economy.

I'm a BP Ultimate girl for the most part.

I guess it depends on what your idea of "driving it right" is

I drive my car for fun and because I love it. Don't really give much of a toss bout economy but it's interesting to hear someone get so much out of a tank.

But from memory for the few times I've had it on the highway it's pretty good.... No worse than my old non turbo was.

An observation. The words "fuel", "economy" and "Nissan GT-R" should never be used in the same sentence...unless associated with the word "crap". I have a fuel miser car for everything else, I have a GT-R for driving in the truer sense of the word!

[Bullet32]

Andrew's buying a GTR!!! Cool

No you dont!

Smart a*se! Yes, she does seem an urban myth, and will continue to be so until I either win Lotto or get up the guts to hold up a bank...

32GTR has a 72L tank. I get about 400k when the fuel light comes on with mixed highway/ street driving (30/70)

around the 15L/100K mark. Stock car except for the exhaust.

[shredder667]

i thought it was a 65l tank? have i been smoking too much crack again?

[BNR32t]

got 600km out of my tank on the way to melbourne. Thats to the fuel light came on, around 60L of fuel...

Not bad for a car making around 550hp at the crank. On wakie, i used a take in under 100kms. (inc the drive up)
