as rob posted, it's been covered, but as i say in EVERY fuel economy thread, don't just post up how many kms you are getting before you fill up. calculate it into L/100kms otherwise it means absolutely nothing in terms of fuel economy. what you are classing as a tank full may be 20L different to what someone else is, so the actual economy you are getting will be drastically different, but the distance between fillups will be the same. if you don't put it into fuel economy terms then you won't get accurate answers.

I used to get around 10l/100km pretty easily when i used to travel on the fway alot in my skyline.

these days with a fair bit more driving closer to home and in slightly busier traffic im gettin about 11-12L/100km - still pretty decent imo, the fuel consumption doesnt bother me too much at all!

if you mean you get 350-400km out of a full tank thatd be around 15? I think we have a 60 or 65L tank.

If you're driving harder that'd prob be about right .. I'm a bit of a granny on the roads.

it's that bad?! I get 12.4 l/ 100 avg (mixed highway and street driving) from a 6L V8 lol, and i dont go easy on it. I would think you should be getting at least 500km a tank / MAX 10L / 100 on a N/A skyline.

they are a pretty highly strung engine. that's why their economy sucks donkey balls for a 2.5L engine. gearing isn't that much worse than any other small engined car. they don't have the torque to run tall gearing like bigger cube engines. if they did have tall gearing then they would be shockingly slow (in the same way that if falcodores had shorter gearing they would give mildly modded gtst's a run for their money).

more stoker kits for big block V8s than there is Jap turbo motors

From memory it was a rego/tax thing in Japan, small engine means less $$$ to register = more appealing to buyers

Quite true . . .new stroker kit out for toyota 4AGE available now

they have the same thing in singapore .. most cars there have smaller engines than the same car here.

I believe lancers have a 1.6 there whereas we get a 2.0, same with alot of other cars!

haha .. amusingly HSV's cars have started to be sold in singapore!!

Prices start at 268,000 SGD for the Maloo, and up to 338,000 SGD for a Grange - and this is without COE!

COE in singapore is apparently 91,000 for a car above 1600cc .. close to 350,000 SGD for a maloo!

Road taxes of: 7,332 SGD a year!!!

**edit - had a revelation: this must be why asians love rice so much ... evolution/survival theory: in order to avoid monstrous road taxes and COE payments, we have grown to like small capacity cars .. with lots of body kits, and mods - cos labour is cheap there.

time to write my psychology thesis on this lol :banana:

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
