after one afternoon research, I got some information about skyline is Fuel Consumption as below, it looks the same 350GT has a good economic Fuel Consumption control as 250GT,how ever driving 350GT is more intresting and handsome, does it make sense?

Nissan Skyline 350GT Type P V35

City: 10.4 l/100km

Road: 6.5 l/100km

Mixt: 8 l/100km

This can't be right.

The new 370GT Type S V 36 coupe with 5 speed auto will give you around 9 liters per 100K on the freeway if you are careful. Suburban driving with all the stop starts at lights etc returns more like 12.5 liters per 100K

Average in mine is 8.5 KM per liter as displayed by the car trip computer (11.7 liters per 100K). And that is without driving hard.

why buy a 350gt if your concerned about fuel economy :P

there's a whole thread on this and just about all v35 owners gave their input ...results vary from 3km/l to 12km/l with a majority sitting around the 7.5 - 8.5km/l mark

dont know bout the 250gt ?? maybe the smaller capacity struggles a bit with the weight of the car ...hence same fuel consumption

yes, you have some points, but I just feel about it, using higher level gearbox can drop fuel usage, I've heared some Jap engines do have a tech call'stop' it can auto close some "V" on some situation

My avg is 8.8 which is about right with a mixture of hwy/city driving

Seems to be spot on as it usualy drops down to 8.7 after a hard day at the track and is back to 8.8 a couple days later

Who really cares about fuel consumption?

Honestly, if you do, then go buy a Prius or better still, get a mountain bike.

If you have to watch your fuel consumption, then either get a better paying job or stop fooling yourself by living beyond your means.

by that reasoning, shouldn't you be driving something that makes a bit more power and consumes more fuel than a boring old 3.5L N/A? :)

some people actually care to categorise a V-series car as a regular passenger car, so things like fuel economy, in cabin noise etc are actual deciding factors.

I'll bite...

Real world 250GT consumption:

100% open road - best I've seen is 10.73km/l

40% motorway/60% city - around 9.3km/l

Absolute worst in 3 years of owning it was 8.3km/l - but more usually closer to the 9.3km/l.

The numbers the OP put up don't make sense - or at least not in the real world where the bigger the engine the more likely you are to use the extra cc's!

03 350GT Manual 24,xxx kms

Highway driving (goldcoast to Bris) 90km = 7.7L Manual (no cruise control)

35mpg

7.71 per 100km

12km per L

approx 680km per tank

Have not got figures for city driving but that 90km makes the needle go from the that top bar on the fuel meter to the bottle of the top bar.

Driving city i can see it at the bottom of that top bar at 50-60km so 40km per 100km less with city driving...

You're a member of this club and you say 'boring old 3.5L N/A'? :laugh:

Your reasoning, while entertaining, is way off the mark. Yes fuel consumption is no issue for me, however I choose cars based on designs I like such as the V35/V36.

So if in the future I see a V8 I like, then I'll be in it, high fuel consumption or not.

Anyway, whats the savings going to be if you choose a more fuel efficient car, $20 or $30 a week?

i got crappy consumption =(.

5.9km per L.

But then it spreads out to 6.5-7 when i drive nicely.

city diving by the way. I mean CBD lower north shore eastern suburbs etc

Anyways i can improve it mechanically? or jst take it easy on the accelerator

thats interesting burnh ....didnt realise the 250gt was actually just a 4 speed...that would explain the fuel consumption.

also i do agree that ppl buy cars with fuel consumption being a deciding factor....i'm still kicking myself for buying the missus a holden craptiva

but u got to compare apples with apples....so the 350gt consumption is in line with a holden commodore or ford with the same capacity.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
