Whiplash Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Accommodation being booked tonight, in Munich for Oktoberfest Need to start drinking beer again (pitty i have been working so hard to get rid of this beer belly) so look out schutzenfest! which is in 1 months today, almost time to start arranging the yearly SAU "responsible drinking" day - due to legal requirements around my liquor license i must 'preach' responsible drinking blah blah blah Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365407-the-wasteland-2011-edition/page/175/#findComment-6151988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Sherlock Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'd love to go to Europe.... Oktoberfest is just one of the reasons. Nordeschliefe is the main reason though.

Jap_star Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Fwiw been doing some fuel consumption 'testing' before the e85 swap. over the last two weeks to and from work (stop start) the results have almost been identical. this weeks results with filling up today were i used 43L of petrol and did 397 Ks. A total of 10.8L per 100kms Didnt think this was too bad considering the motors not quite stock. By comparison off the governments site a current SS Commodore uses 17.3L per 100, 370Z uses 15.2, Renault Megane Sport 250 uses 11.8 Interesting stuff http://www.greenvehicleguide.gov.au/GVGPublicUI/home.aspx Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365407-the-wasteland-2011-edition/page/175/#findComment-6152176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jap_star Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 it appears that way. a good hillsy where ill do 100-100kms will use 3/4 tank though, lol but for just putting to and from work it does the job Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365407-the-wasteland-2011-edition/page/175/#findComment-6152193 Share on other sites More sharing options...

By comparison off the governments site a current SS Commodore uses 17.3L per 100, 370Z uses 15.2, Is that with or without an aftermarket ECU right now? Cos that sure seems pretty economical to me. I'm currently getting like 15.5L/100km (320km or so on 50L) on an untuned R34 with 3" exhaust, 10psi - just regular driving around town (It'll get 600km+ on 50L on the highway though). Planning to get it down to get retuned early next year for economy if nothing else. If I could possibly achieve that sort of economy around town I'd be stoked.

dark.sky Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The stock ECU goes bunta when it flows more air than it did stock and thinks the car is dying so it dumps petrol in.

jrm Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yup, I understand why my fuel economy is poor - stock ECU - and it'll compensate with extra fuel. Which is why I ask if Jap_Star has a stock ECU. I'm guessing not, which gives me hope that I might achieve good fuel economy with a tune Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365407-the-wasteland-2011-edition/page/175/#findComment-6152413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 If you can't get a Nistune for your ECU Jenna (some R34s you can, some you can't depending on what type/brand ECU is in it), then go an SAFCII. Had one fitted to my R34 with good results, and now have it on my V35. On the 35 the tune made an extra 8rwkw and flattened torque and all curves rather nicely. Obviously having a turbo and running rich you would see much bigger gains.

Obviously having a turbo and running rich you would see much bigger gains. Yup, I already have a nistune fitted, unfortunately it's just still on the factory maps - I haven't had the $$$ to get it tuned yet. Plan is to take it to Boostworx or Willall in the new year. Given the 182rwkw I hit on 7psi, with the 10psi actuator now in - I'm hoping with a retune power should jump to low 200rwkw, with better economy. That's the aim/hope anyway. My '34 is finally getting where I want it - few major things left on my list are fitting the nismo 480cc injectors, fitting the HEL oil cooler w/thermostat (sitting in garage), and highflow the turbo (probably MTQ).

Carbon 34 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) mine went to hell once I fitted the new xforce cat. that little restriction from compliance cat to a full 3" or more from front to back , sent the fuel mapping wonky even after resetting the ECU,need to get my nistune ECU slapped in and tuned. and my actuator installed, on a side note who down south can work on skylines and you trust , besides nissan and hp in a box, or grand nissan wreckers ? need my new clutch fitted and look at what kind of crap the other mechanic did wrong when they did the timing belt. before it eats it. belt is a gates kevlar racing belt. does anyone have a Gates/HKS. or non factory belt on factory timing gears ? mine is making a shocking noise like its rubbing randomly , the car does have carbon fiber cover if anyone has issues with the cas not sitting flat because of the cover. the damn drive belts started sqealing this morning too, bunch of farking trained monekys cant even do the belts and hoses without drama who can be recommended for nistune, dyno tune on the GTT down south preffered? I was told garage 7 ?

More chance to get through Regency without me needing to change back to a factory turbo .. Do you know what sort of turbo Shaun has?
