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

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
