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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
