It's good to keep an eye on your economy though, I don't drive a 3L R32 and a Stagea because I want to save fuel.. but if you're doing long trips then it's good to get the most out of each tank..

With the Stag, done several trips down south so far and I get ~600km to a 65L tank (~10.8L/100km), not bad for a 240awkw 2 tonne bus.

Around town I'm struggling to get 400km to a tank.

Oh and it seems to be more efficient at 140 than 110 :D

My skyline averages ~11.3L/100km with about a 60:40 split for city:freeway driving.

Details can be found in the excel file:

Pretty stock car and I don't boost often [very light foot].

I love visual representations of stuff so I've done the excel spreadsheets for all 3 cars I've owned ;)

That being said, there's some shocking fuel economies in here... do you guys run full throttle off every set of lights or something :verymad: ?

my old skyline did 700km on a run

mid 400s around town, was pushing 270rwhp

um the 350z on the otherhand gets at best 700km on tank around town... but if i pump on the power it reads 8km/litre LOL

about 600 a tank 60-70l

Well i have now gone through half a tank in my R33, and have managed just under 200km's. I've been driving my car sooo softly, chaning gears at 2500rpm approx., keeping the turbo off-boost.

I think im going to be booking it in for a tune quite soon.....

i got around 12.5L/100km's on stock boost just city driving with the occassional squirt, now on 10psi I get around 13.5L/100km.

Last tank i got 11.6L/100km's but that was cause half the tank was used on a hills cruise :D

I imagine purely freeway driving you'd get 9-10L/100km which is fairly good.

yeh i didnt modify to get good fuel and am not really complaining about what i get. but u always want more for your money.. and econemy is how u get that.

if i give my throttle a little blip at idle i get bulk black fuel smoke out the back. and all my driving is off boost and around 3500rpm changes. and it takes about a week for the bumper to start showing signs of a rich car.

oh well... thats just the way it is.. i hope my 26 has a slightly leaner tune.

After fitting the new fuel pump & reseting the stock ECU, with the latest batch of fuel, my fuel economy seem to have increased a bit into the 11.xL/100km range :thumbsup:

EDIT: That now puts it on par with the plain Camry

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
