so guys i was just here too ask one question

how many kilometres on average do you get out of your n/a skyline

im only getting around 350kms out of a tanks and i dont drive around high rpm so i was just wondering mainly too see if i got a problem or not because that really is not good fuel economy

and im not complaining i wouldnt switch my r33 for anything in the world but just curios is all

If this is in the wrong spot just delete it please.

That sounds about right for an R33 GTS .. GTS-4 are a bit worst I believe, having potenital AWD + being heavier.

When I had my NA R31, I got about 450 to a tank (400 if I drove spiritedly).

I now have an EF XR6 5 Speed and I got about 650km / tank / normal driving & about 1000km / tank highway driving (quite amazing for the car it is).

This is all using regular 91 unleaded. When I used premium in the 31 I got maybe an extra day or two worth of driving out of it, in the falcon it doesnt make much difference at all.

When I first got the 31, it had heinous economy, however I replaced the oxygen sensor & sparkplugs and it got alot better.

yep its a r33 with all the parts on it from factory so they are not performing like they used to. People with turbo's usally have more knowledge and money than people with non-turbo's, note the engine bay :) . Thats why there car can get more fuel, its in better condition.

I get 500km to a full tank around normal roads (no highway driving included) using highways about 600km, GTS-4 and its 2.7L now.

I used to get 300km to a full tank but i brought brand new-

Fuel pump

All the Filters

Oils

AAC Valve

Cold start Valve

Coolant temp sensor

TPS

Rebuilt Engine

Engine Gasket Set

O2 sensor

Plugs

seems to have fixed it.

its probably not that far out depending on how easy your driving it, even with a power fc and gentle driving i get approx 450 out of a tank, but usually can only get bout 50L into it even on the empty line, so that doesnt sound so bad i guess, maybe your just doing alot of city driving and bit heavy on the throttle plus bit low on compression and tune etc

+1 to the falcon, i drive one daily and it is just superior for doing the km's, 10L/100kms it is just pure torque, its an auto and 1700rpm just gear changes flowing and keeps up with traffic, easy and economical what more can you ask for? handles like a boat but thats not what its being used for lol..

:whistling: 800kms from 75L in a 1700kg twin turbo whale.

Its all about how you drive them

you have a gtt-L?

they're about 1600kgs or less though, 1jz ones. boosting around i get about 500-600km till the the thing starts to surge under boost. i did about 800kms on one tank when i was driving the thing back from shitney.

Its pretty much the L-package...has all the options except leather

Prob weighs 1650 less driver

I hated that surge with less than 10L in the tank...fixed it with a new pump though, can go WOT with 5L and no surge

i have an L pack too, just that, dickhead of the previous owner, put in an aftermarket steering wheel and boss kit, and cut off the wires for the cruise control and stuff. so, i lost some awesome features.

pray tell, what pump did you put in? new toyota pump? or an intank bosch?

nah. s1.

if it didn't have cruise control, it wouldn't have the A/D light coming on right?

i'll have to go hunt for a bosch 910, i'm sick and tired of that surge, and also the L pack's fuel sender is the shittiest thing ever invented. only has a vague idea of how much fuel i have left. so i wait till it surges. lol. so, i'm not sure if i want the surge or not.

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
