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:

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
