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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
