Car was well tuned from the dealer and I was getting about 450K's without thrashing it from a full tank of 98octane. Seems about the norm. (unless u have a GTR)

tuned from the dealer?

how can they do that with a 'stock' ECU ?

i think they can, they have machines that plug the ECUs into and gives them the maps etc, my mates piece of shit mobile was ****ing around, injectors flooding etc and hyundai put his ecu in their comp and fixed it up!

yer, but that is a Hyundai. Any car these days basically has that functionality - and its pretty common for locally sold cars to have the whole "jack in" mentality.

You can muck around with the Nissan CONSULT tool, which will plug directly into the ECU and you can fiddle - but that is mainly a diagnosis and troubleshooting tool, not a tuning tool as far as I can gather. Read the 200sx or the R32GTR service manuals (out there as PDFs) and you'll see what it does.

New plugs, new belts, new fuel filter, new oil and oil filter, radiator flush, gearbox and diff oil change, power steering fluid change, battery fluid check, air filter check, brake bleed and adjust, tyre rotate and balance.. ...all helps ! :)

would and oxygen sensor cause any other type of noticeable problems that can be found on a dyno ? as ive had a full powerfc dyno tune and everything looked fine on there, hmm, gotta get a retune next week anyways so i will tell them how much economy im getting and see what they say :P

Costs me about $20 for every 100km's I do... (32GTR)

I only usually stick in $50 lots and always get around the 250km mark... doesn't seem to matter how I drive...

Compaired to my old carby turbo 240Z at around $20 for evey 50km's... it's a dream :P

Just got 455kms out of pretty much a full tank - however consider this: I drove to heathcote and back, I also had 17 drag races at heathcote and also did lots and lots of fanging during the week, plus some normal type driving - I would say that my air / fuel ratio's and general state of tune is pretty darn good :D

I am now wondering how Jamezilla fared from doing the same thing ;) ? Did you go through 2 tanks or 3 ?

    • Yes, it will take a fair amount of solution but the sodium citrate + citric acid + detergent is cheap stuff. Use laundry detergent instead of dish soap if you want to reduce the bubbles, also you could just buy sodium citrate and add some citric acid to the mix until you get to a weakly acidic solution if you don't feel like dealing with all the bubbling generated by adding everything together. For a fuel tank you need quite a lot of distilled water but it's probably worth the effort.
    • Actually looks like a Nitrous setup now 😆
    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 😎 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
