615km On One Tank

I did a recent Melbourne to Sydney trip just recently in my GTR and managed to get 615km to the tank (filled up 65 litres). I believe it could have gone another 10kms but didn't want to risk not seeing another petrol station for another 36. Driving at mostly 2900rpm and 110km/h.

Having never gotten over 500kms before that was pretty amazing. The hard part was watching slower cars overtake me (and doing 130km/h). Compared to my Z the Skyline felt "nervous" at high speed though I think this is probably to do with the stock suspensions and ride height (a bit higher).

If i load a drum or two in the back of my serria i Should be able to cairns and back on a tank.

In all seriousness though, you'd probably get even futher if you were only doing 80 or 90km/r, that seems to be about the sweet spot for air resistance/vs engine resistance etc.

my cedric got 650km's to a tank. when i was driving from adeliade out to Mount Barker. It's got a VQ30DET.

I wouldn't mind driving over to Melbourne to see what it can really get.

he numbers your comingup with a pretty good though. I'm sure with a tune you would get a bit more out of a tank depending on how you tune it.

Hi i did about 580km with my V35 250GT,untill the light came on and that's with about 5 run's down the 1/4 mile strip and with travelling at an average 120km/hr on the highway. The bok say's i should get about 12km/lt more like 8km/lt if i work it out, i guess our fuel here in Botswana is the cause its only 93 octane.

Heading to Syd from Bris. I got about 600ks of a 60L tank.

Thank haeding back, god knows how, I got 702ks of a 60L tank. :cool::)

Good fun. 350 GT-8. Avg 130-140 for the trip, this includes slowing down for the small towns on the way.

Must have been because you were driving back down, you use less fuel going downhill. :)

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
