Sorry guys, not having a go but "k's to a tank" is not a reliable measure of fuel economy.

This is probably obvious but here's how to calculate your fuel economy:

1. Fill up the fuel tank completely and record odometer reading

2. Drive normally until the tank is close to empty

3. Fill up the tank again again completely and record odometer reading & litres filled

4. Subtract previous odometer reading from current = distance travelled

5. Divide litres filled by [distance travelled / 100] = your fuel economy in l/100km

6. Repeat from step 2

Example: Say your previous refill was at 100,000 km and the current odometer reading is 100,400 km. You just put in 50 litres of petrol. Your fuel economy is:

Tips:

- Ask for tax invoice when paying as it includes litres filled

- I normally scribble my odo reading on the tax invoice

- Always fill the tank up completely! Otherwise this won't work

- If you're really keen you can record individual economy readings and calculate an average over time...

Hope this helps :yes:

More on topic, my current readings for the R34 GTT are in the 13-14.5 l/100km range for mixed driving. Bog stock.

As per above ,(i've always worked it out this way), my m35 gets 12-12.5 litres around town(sunshine Coast)and 10-10.5 on highway cruising.(sitting on 100-120 ks)

My car has the gcg gt3037 upgrade, with 3" s/steel dump,200cfm hi flow cat and fujitsubo 3" exhaust.I should add i dont baby it, but dont cane it either.It does seem to be slightly better left in the sports tiptronic mode.

It will be, the torque converter is locked all the time. Just be aware the gearbox can overheat if you drive hard in tiptronic mode.

Perhaps that explains why it locked itself out of sports mode while trying to chase the pack of other stags up mt tamborine on the last qld cruise 3 weeks ago.

I'm interested to know why mine has never overheated or reacted funny. I spent most of my time in manual shift mode and most of the time it's driven hard (close to redline), never had an issue with the box.

Makes me wonder if something has been done or added to fix this issue.

today, i filled up full and did a 300km trip, on about 295km i filled up the rest of my tank and i managed to fill in 29.8l of fuel. so having a 60l fuel tank, i got about 10l/100km, not bad for manaul turbo neo s2. i did between 120-140 on most stretches and about 190ish twice on a long dead stretch of road in the middle of nowhere. pretty proud of my car atm.

just got back from a trip to karratha 200km one way use about half a tank to get there

On the way back only used about 1/3 of a tank

sat on 130 kph all the way very odd i think

talking about autos what does everyones rpm read at 110kph and 130kph

mine read 3000rpm at 130kph

forgot to mention that i can only buy 95 octane fuel where i live

dunno about the auto stuff but i run on 95 as well (138/litre for 95 in tas or 154ish for 98) and it runs fine

i think the ecu's are smart enough to pull a little bit of timing, feels a bit zippier on 98

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
