hey all

went down south this weekend and was suprised at how my fuel consuption went.. went from carine caltex to capel and then back to the same servo and did some quick math and got 9.8L per 100km. sure this comprised of majority off boost driving but when i drive around too and from work i am almost using 55L for 350 km (15.7L/100km) and that is also off boost drivng apart from 2 WOTs on the way home (onto ried and freeway) and when i drive with a bit of boost i struggle to get close to 300km.

just some "fuel" for thought

pardon the pun

daniel, why is your fuel so bad?

should be getting at least 400 to a tank

I'll be lucky if i get 300-350kms in city driving in my r33....

I dont drive off-boost all the time, but even if i try to actually drive nicely in city driving and get as much out of a tank, i'll still only get 350kms max....

Anywho, my car needs a tune....

Check your boost guage. I have two seperate ones that run seperate lines. They both say -13psi when crusing at 100km in 5th at like 2700rpm. That is not ON boost. But if I then accelerate, because its high enough rpm for my turbo tohit full boost by 3000rpm. If u slowing push in the accelerator to hold a speed, then it will not be on boost, so hold it there to cruise. BUT if you accelerate hard and slowly let ur car come to a constant speed, then it will be on boost more so like -9psi, and u will hear ur turbo.

An engine is designed to accelerate. But if u want a constant speed it is throttled (less air is given) so it doesn't speed up. Hence crusing.

i done a check on mine a couple of days ago and getting 12.5l/100 or 400ks to 51 ltrs. alot of traffic driving. im pretty happy with that. hopefully it wont change to much when i fit the 600cc injectors and PFC and wind the boost up. (hopeful thinking). still running the auto diff, think that is 4.3 too

change your oxygen sensors if you want better fuel economy ppl! if that dont work, flow test your injectors and repair/replace if neccessary, my r33 averages 420/430km to 50L of city driving and im on boost alot, pretty good for a 6 id say

my s14 would get 500kms to 50L :P

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
