from what i understand japan has the same "premium unleaded" fuels, or at least similar ones to us, but the 100 ron is called "super unleaded". maybe some of the members on here who have been to japan, or live there could fill us in on a bit more info.....

I'm getting around 350kms a full tank, somethings not right.

that all depends. how many litres are you calling a full tank? what sort of driving are you doing? do you let the car warm up before driving? how long does the temp gauge come up to the middle of the gauge (normal operating temp)?

Not sure but $60 is roughly a full tank of 98, thats from almost redline empty to completely full. City driving to and from work, generally a 20km trip but it can be stop start traffic. I generally dont let it warm up for more than 30 seconds every startup but nor do i hammer it at all in the first 10 minutes. Doesn't take the temp gauge long at all maybe 5 minutes if that. My best mate who drives a S2 R33 N/A gets easily over 100km more a tank than me and he drives a bit quicker than me.

based off roughly $1.45 a litre, $60 is only about 41L, meaning you still have about 24L left in the tank (if they are like a 33 with a 65L tank), and about 10 to 15L before the fuel light comes on. at 41L and 350kms you are using approx 11.7L/100kms, which isn't too bad for city driving.

Hey,

I have a 33 gtst, i get bout 11 -12L/ 100km's

You'll use more fuel depending on how many cold starts you do too, and if it was a gtst and now gts, then you should be able to run alot more ignition timing, like fully advanced, that would help it alot, be much more lively and better on fuel, correct me if im wrong...j

but 10-12 would be the best you can get id say, and thats not that bad...

what would be wrong with that, if its the car is designed to have a turbo on it, and now it doesnt, cant it handle major advancing ???

how would that be worse than 10psi of turbo pressure thru it?? the motor is basically lacking now isnt it???

i advanced my ignition fully with the turbo and didnt even ping that i could hear, not that im saying to do that with a turbo, just saying without the turbo should be able to tune it alot more agressively..

:wacko:

yes you could run full advanced timing on a RB25DET with the turbo removed, however it will still be putting out about 40hp less than a natro motor and use more fuel as you will have to floor it everywhere to not get overtaken by an 80 year old lady in her 1970's corolla

also if you were able to run full advance on your natro without hearing any pinging then either you need to learn more about what pinging sounds like, or realise that not all pinging is audible to the human ear over the sound of the engine.

Oh you're good.... I don't have a fuel light :(

yes they all have a fuel light. it may be blown though (or there is a short in the system or issue with the sender). but they generally all come on with about 10L left in the tank, so if you are filling up with less than around 55L then you aren't getting the tank low enough for the light to come on. there are a few ways to test if the light is working. 1 is to pull the return line off the injector rail and run it into a bucket then run the car until it either runs out of fuel or the light comes on (best to do when the car is low on fuel). another would be to pull the fuel gauge sender out of the tank. yet another would be to figure out which wire in the fuel sender wiring is the one that sends the signal to the dash and short it out and see if the light comes on. or you could simply drive around with a few litres of fuel in a jerry can and just keep driving until either the light comes on or you run out of fuel.

i also have a feeling that in the 33's it doesn't come on until below the line. i don't think mine came on until it was at the top of the E

Change your spark plugs, run 95 at least, change your o2 sensor and get a pod filter which will help. Clean your AFM and maybe clean your injectors. If nothing changes i highly suggest get a SAFC it will get you extra power and much better fuel economy. I used to get 250ks a tank i got a SAFC and a tune and i got more power and was average 450-500ks a tank.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
