Yeah, I fill up 75L tank and it chews through pretty qucikly... but you dont buy a gtr for fuel economy! Driving around city giving it hits here and there it manages around 300km a tank, highway driving bout 350 - 400km.

Oh, and in this heat, my car refuses to drive without octane boost, so youve got 75 litres of Optimax/Ultimate/Synergy8000 and $15 - $20 per bottle of Nulon Octane Booster which will do one tank.

And I'd reccomend against using normal PULP, as my car and a few other GTR's around the area, if the temperature is over 25-30 degrees, even on just Optimax and Ultimate they will detonate and misfire and splutter down the road.

My 70L tank gets me on average a little over 500km. I usually use BP Ultimate, but failing that I'll only use Synergy8000; I'm not touching that OptiMax crap. I'm only running a little over 210kW though.

Amaru: if your mates and your car are pinging then I suggest you get a good tune... I don't need to worry about it and I've driven in 30+C conditions.

I think it really depends on how heavy your right foot is. My fuel economy is based on may daily driving habits - it's a 55km journey to work with a mix or peak hour and freeway driving. I don't spend a lot of my time boosting (but I do give it a squirt once or twice in that trip).

My car is boosted - it's running approx 14psi.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
