I've got no idea of the exact r34 size, but i'm getting its up around the 65-75L mark. If you use most of it, say 60L before you fill up your looking at something like 90-100 bucks to fill up depending on the price for premium at the moment (just do the maths)

A rb30 would probably use more fuel than a rb25, but most of it would depend on how you drive. I've managed to get under 10L/100km in my '32, and I don't do much city driving in it so i usually sit somewhere between 10.5-11.5L/100, which is pretty good even thesedays

The R34 tank is 65L, the fuel light typically comes on at 50-55L. From there, you should be able to work out the average cost of filling it.

Changing to an RB30 isn't going to change the size of the fuel tank (though it will probably change your economy)

$70 didn't get me a full tank in my R33, RB25DE. Price was 164 for vpower.

I usually pay around 150 or something, and $70 has gotten me a full tank which gets me roughly 500km when babied.

Budget $75/tank.

Making it 3L will make a difference, but it may not be worth it. N/A or turbo?

Search the forums for a 25/30 hybrid engine. It's not the toyota POS.. it's a 25 head on a 30 block.

Expext to pay around $100 a tank. As for how far you go, that will largely depend on how you drive. I would expect that doing an rb25/30 conversion would make it significantly more thirsty. Though dont quote me on that as i havent done that conversion.

Edit: 3L tank? As in fuel tank? Or as in cc?

You've obviously had the car for a little bit, so why are you asking people stupid questions like how much it cost's to fill up????

here's a tip go to the petrol station and fill it up, then you'll know EXACTLY how much it costs

This. If you don't like what it costs to fill, either sell the car or drive it less. Generally, skyline owners are car enthusiasts. If you like your car that much then what petrol costs a tank is irrelevant.

    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
