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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
