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.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
