mine is around 7,5km on the screen but at 3/4 tank it is always around 460-490km left. so i don't really trust that screen...

if I reset it, and drive slowly i could easily get 10+km/l but as soon as the car is switched off, the next day it started it will start

from 3.5km/l and slowly averaging back up to around 7.2-7.9 km/l

I'm averaging 6.4 km/L in the city (I do the punt road/hoddle st crawl both directions every day) - shocking I know.

However I managed to average 13.4 km/L from Phillip Island to Warrigal Road on the South Eastern!

did you reset the trip computer, Max? cos otherwise I would have thought the average incl your 6.4km/L would be somewhere around 8

I reset it after every fill up, Rianto. Normal city average is 6.4-6.5km/L. I do about 200km per week in heavy traffic.

Agree with BLISTC about 7.8-8.3 in Heavy Sydney Traffic is right. By the way--the Screen is Spot on- I can gauge every last drop going into the car on every fill. You have to reset on each fill and you find you averages work overall. Dont just look at one point.

On the Highway you get over11K/Ltre

Tip- guys-try the BP Ultimate--it continually gets 30-40K more than any other 98 petrol !

Just my 5 cents worth..

Just drove from Adelaide to Melbourne on one tank.. 742kms.. have a good 80kms left in the tank... no fuel light yet.

Cheers

you have to be careful though the fuel gauge i notice works in very strange ways with the meter on the screen

if you were averaging say 11-12km/l then your driving behaviour changes, that could change from 80km to 10km left in your tank. just keep that in mind if you ever go for long drives i always rather be safe than sorry

the most FYI i ever got out of a tank in suburban driving was 595km and the meter on the screen was sitting on 0kms and it changed to that warning screen, i still drove around for a good 20kms after that too, just testing it out.... the tanks i think are 70ltr but for some reason i never ever fill up that much

at the needle indicator around 'E' and with the TV screen complaining something in Japanese (refusing to show the # of kms left) - which I believe is a danger/SOS message in Japanese to get to the gas station ASAP, I managed to fill up almost 74 ltr.

I thought all coupes are the same?

And how much BP Ultimate is dearer compared to BP regular?

I'm a coupon monster, went to Shell for the 4c off Coles discount dockets... but at around 14c dearer minus the discounts, the V-Power is still about 10c dearer than the regular...

every time the fuel light comes on and i fill up the max i get is like 55-60ltr

i have 20ltr in the tank still doing nothing? whaaa?

i thought they came with 80ltr tanks as i had read online, but, i never got to fill in the 70 ltr range ever so i doubted it

yeah? ;) ...but I find that it smells funny!...lol!

I'll stick with opti-expenso-vpowbullshit-omax....with a capfull (just a poofteenth) of metho, just for good measure. :(

Um...anyways....

Have a great, safe, cruisey and (hopefully) break-down free new year people!......and raaaaaaaawk-on!

Also, Thankyou all for the great advice and 'fellow-ship' I've found recently within the 'V' series forum...(recently coming from the R33 side)

Superspit and Di.

i was sure they were 80?

why is it that my fuel gage has 80 up the top? BTW i have a nismo dash

Yes you are right, V35s have an 80L tank. I too have managed to clock 800kms on one full tank Brisbane to Newcastle. When I filled up the tank it had about 7L left. Topped up with just over 70L.

Around town, mixture of highway and suburb driving I average around 600+ kms.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
