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

Hey mate they are 70ltr tanks.

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.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
