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.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
    • Shimmed or shimless, still solid, no hydraulic pump up stuff.
    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
