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

Nissan Skyline 250GT V25

City: 10.4 l/100km

Road: 6.5 l/100km

Mixt: 8 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

2004 350gt auto coupe

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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
