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.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
