High idle will affect your economy a lot if you do a lot of stop-start traffic. Try getting it down below 800. Other than that, just do the usual stuff - replace plugs, clean injectors, etc. Does the R30 use an AFM? If so try cleaning it with some electrical contact cleaner.

Aftern owning a sr20de silvia for 3 years and getting around 450ks from 45L of fuel it was a big shock how much fuel my r33 uses. The best figures i have gotten are 11L/100ks on highway driving. I average 13.5L/100k in the city but have had it as high as 18L/100ks after a night of hard driving. I guess a relativly heavy car and a 6cyl turbo doesnt help with fuel consumption.

The best ive ever got from my R30 was something over 400kms out of a full tank. Prettymuch i trash it everywhere, so i dont think thats too bad.

Things that i have done are, new plugs, leads, rotor button and distributor cap.

Other things that will help are cleaning the injectors (one of the best things is to put a bout 250mls of Auto-Trans fluid in the tank next time you fill it up), between doing this and replacing the fuel filter it will make a big diference.

The other thing that everyone with a L24E in a R30 should do is to cut the airbox.

I removed the shitty restrictive cold air feed piece of crap and cut a big hole in the top of the airbox, ill post pics soon.

This made a big diference in power, its much quicker, revs smoother and sounds totaly nuts. I couldnt beleive the diference it made. with the standard exhaust still in place i (Quiet out the back) i have had people ask me if its a V8, others are convinced there is a hole in my exhaust! dickheads.

seriously try going for a drive, just take the airbox lid off and go for a quik spin, youll know what im talking about.

ive noticed since installing new plugs, NGK iridium's and changed oil to the new mobile 1 - super synth and ive actually lost 50-70Km's per tank!!! not sure what going on here! will the wrong gap affect fuel consumption?

will try normal mobile 1 next and see if i get it back!

yeah i used to get atleast 450Km out of it, but now about 350 - 380 Km's even with highway driving, so i'll check it out!!

noticed alot more noise in the engine since the super synth mobil 1 went in, so see how this affects the sitution before regapping, as fuel consumption was (i think) ok before the oil change!!

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
