1/4 tank from brisbane to dayboro with my van sitting on 3-6K going through the hills. (it will do high RPM but chews fuel doing it.)

my fuel light was flashing as I came into the showgrounds.

NFI From sunnybank to asply and half way to the meet point and back to aspley 23 liters

then fill up at the servo out the front

then from the servo to the meet the quick way and back gauge says only 1/4 used but i don't believe it

Jeez, how'd u go getting to the nearest fuel station? Was there one in town? Didn't really pay attention.

well i got a stagea (RB25DET) - but i think my sensors are gone. took up 30L of fuel to get from Noosa to EightMilePlains and taking it easy the whole way :P

so about 20L per 100Kms :(

I think i need to get myself a tune, new AFM and new O2 Sensor and a major service :(

i filled up right before i left yesterday which was from noosa to aspley then to the location then back to the highway and a lil bit of my own mountain cruising i did 450kms and still have a quater of a tank left. tahts with no aircon.

50k around town + Kinga to Goldy 100-110Kph cruise cont. = 348 Km used 32.63 ltrs (9.43L/100Km)

Goldy to Aspley, Dayboro on to Kilcoy = 276Km used 32.84ltrs(11.89L/100km)

Kilcoy to home= 134KM (Yet to fill up)

10.42L/100K average (Not to shabby.)

From aspley to final meet = 1/2 tank.

final meet to my home = 1/2 and a bit.

no aircon too

That is not good...

My car with 'extensive' mods got 10.25litres per 100km on the day. Included all the city and country driving too. All with the air-con on.

it seems that im wasting abit too much fuel.

here are some of my results over the last couple of months

sorry they are in km/L not L/100kms

6.5km/L

6.7km/L

7.4km/L

6.8km/L

7.2km/L

so thats an average of 6.93km/L

have replaced the O2 sencor didnt make any see able difference, are running bp 98 for the last two tanks hoping that that will start to make a small improvement.

I have a pod filter with no shelding, so was going to get an aftermarket air box for it, any other ideas on improving km/L ? fuel filter, to improve fuel pressure? better coils?

I do about 50/50 city highway driving from coopers plains to the valley for work.

Stock ECU and running a little more boost than standard? If so it'll be running stupidly rich, which will obviously have an effect on your economy. Do you drive with a bit of a heavy foot?

Other than that, check for air leaks, give it a service, change the filters etc.

yer, 10psi, drive it pretty nice tho, so should be in closed loop most of the time.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
