city driving is the answer. stop start traffic is as bad as thrashing it i reckon

+1 its worse Driving everyday stop start traffic i get like 250-300 tank if I drive normal condtions giving it to it bout half the time get like 450 atleast

i get around 320 in the full tank....guess mine is in the average mark....its just amazing how the same car has different fuel consumption...didnt expect so much difference...

Stop start traffic is a killer. I have mentioned before that my GTR which is mildly modded with over 260rwkw, I will get around 14ish l/100km but I am currently working only 4km from home and took the GTR for a week when the daily was being worked on and because the car wouldnt even get a chance to warm up I was getting 24 L/100km hahahaha must have a rich warm up cycle! I couldnt do it to the car for a long amount of time.

I average between 11.5 and 12.5L per hundred with mixed driving and under under 10 on Highway cruising, got 466km 2 weekends ago from just under 3/4 of a tank and this was loaded up with all our camping gear! This is in a r32 GTR with 300awkw

Took another measurement last week.

10.16L/100km

544.5km from 55.34L

Don't know why other NAs get worse. I do plenty of city driving.

I'm still running R32 GTS-T O2 sensor on NA R33 engine. 0w40 Castrol. Roughly 0.4 drag coefficient.

Anyone got any idea why my car would be running soo damn shit on fuel then?? Seems like everyone elses cars with turbos (I know they're not engaged all the time) are running heaps better.

Am going to check the air filter today, checked my tyre pressure last night

If you're experiencing bad fuel economy, try replacing the oxygen sensor if it hasn't been replaced in the last 50,000km (or if you don't know whether it has been replaced or not). $120ish item, extra 100km to a tank...and it's quite common for them to be worn out.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
