Yous all suck if you're getting under 400kms to a tank in a non-GTR.

I just did 463km, with 315kms of that of spirited run to Bathurst and back.

Why should a GTR be more fuel hungry?

My motors:

RB25, 270rwkw - 450-500km around town, 550-600 freeway

RB26, 280rwkw - 450-500km around town, 550-600 freeway

Identical :D

Pretty sure i have a 55L tank as well (never run it much below 1/4)

All of mine are with a nastier diff ratio as well, so I am doing high RPM @ 100km/h to you all :)

That said, if i get onto the loud pedal i can mince a tank in less than 300km's

am i the only one that doesnt check or work it out? i just go and fill up whenever i need to no matter what day it is, usually when i have about a quater of a tank left and thats it, i dont even look at the price when im filling up lol.

LOL +1.. always find vortex 98 for her and fill up once a week. its never been low so i never worry about it :)

I'm lucky if I get 350ks beween fills. And then it takes around 50Ls to fill it.

I'm wondering if a new o2 sensor will improve things, along with a Nistune and dyno time.

Once a week!!!!!

God damn. If I fill up 3 times a week it's been a cheap week.

Wish I was like that, but I'm obsessed with the trip meter haha. It can be a good way to tell if your car isn't running properly / as good as it could be. I do fill up whenever I need it though...stuff holding out for queues and cheap prices to save a couple of dollars. If you bought a Skyline for good fuel economy you did it wrong from the start I say!

Yer! Give the O2 sensor a go mate, it should be standard with every purchase of a Skyline haha! Instant 50-60km extra to a tank if it ain't been changed before.

Ummm.... ;)

BP Ultimate: 141.9c, 423.6km, 49.34 L = 11.65L/100km = $16.53/100km

BP Premium: 134.9c, 265.2km, 34.87 L = 13.15L/100km = $17.74/100km

BP Premiun: 134.9, 446.3km, 53.74L = 12.04L/100km = $16.24/100km

BP Ultimate: 140.7c, 476km, 51.12L = 10.74L/100km = $15.11/100km

Caltex Vortex: 143.9-4c = 139.9, 300km, 35.54L = 11.85L/100km = $16.57/100km

Sucks that BP Ultimate is currently the best, I want to boycott them bad. Going to move onto Mobil and Shell soon, hopefully they are awesome.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
