I've been keeping track of my fuel consumption on my iPhone...

Because of work I'm also making lots of short trips of about 10 min / 2 to 9Km every hour or so... ...I think I got around 600Km on a GOR cruise once and around the same going up to Swan Hill... ...But that was before I started recording my fuel...

i used to get approx 450km (30km of that after fuel light on) max. fairly stock auto. haven't had a chance to check economy recently as i've had it tuned, and still in the "honeymoon" phase :D

I don't think I've ever seen the fuel light... ...How low does the needle get before it comes on???...

For my car, it came on when the needle is like about 1/2cm or so under the E line.

& I only know this because when I picked up my car from the panel shop, they pretty much drained all the fuel out & I was driving on empty :( .

Thanx JamesK,

i got an autoban just down the road from me, ill pop in there on the weekend and see wat they can do for me about an o2 sensor,

hopfully that might get some more ks, if not, it cant hurt getting a new one :)

Forget autobarn, save some $$$ and time and order from HERE $77 and quick delivery.

I've never been brave enough to let it get that low... :(

Dont you mean stupid enough, efi fuel pumps dont like running dry.

Replaced the oxygen sensor tonight. Got her up on the hoist and laughed at why I even bothered putting it up there when the sensor was clearly visible from the engine bay. Then I ate my words when a seemingly 2 minute job turned into 2 hours. The positioning of the sensor is so damn awkward. Near impossible to get a grip on the sensor nut with a torque-worthy tool. My open ended spanner kept slipping...shifter couldn't get a grip...socket wouldn't fit over sensor. Didn't want to thread the sensor nut so I resorted to snipping the sensor wires in order to get an angled ring spanner over the nut (forcing me to get the new sensor installed or being unable to drive home). Still had no room to get any decent leverage though. Had to remove the heat shields from turbo and exhaust - the screws of which were rusted through and threaded themselves when I tried to remove them. Drilled some of them out and vowed not to put the shields back on afterwards. I was quite literally bracing myself against the car chassis while trying to unhinge that rusted piece of crap sensor. After every swear word in 4 or 5 languages she finally cracked. Putting in the new one took the other half of the 2 minutes I had originally intended to spend on this.

/end rant.

Here's hoping my fuel economy improves because my anger management sure isn't.

Oops should of posted up earlier I have an O2 Sensor socket if anyone nearby wants to borrow it...it does make your job a crap load easier as birds may have found out that damn thing is in tight!

My sky is on average on about 11.4L which i was happy with UNTILL my car broke down and started driving my brothers spare care, 1.8L Corolla. Geezzz, fill 40 L, done 550kms and i still got one line to empty. I cant belive the difference. You save about 7 dollars per 100kms. woow

In saying that, the car has no balls nor handling nor looks nor anything else. lol just a lil engine.

ive never seen a fuel light come on ever..

didnt know there was one

There is guys, trust me I was in the same boat as you guys but it only comes on when your needle is ON E like basically the light is REFUEL NOW!...haha but in the manual it says there is 7 or so lts left in the tank and even when your start to get at that level it will still start to fade on and off until I think about 5lt

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
