YEs ^^^

Funny story, back in the 70's my old man had a XW falcon ute with a 302 in it (bought it brand new in 1969)

all his mates went and bought datsun utes etc due to rising fuel costs, they were stoked at getting 16mpg...my old man laughed because his 4.9L V8 was getting 22mpg around town lugging a shit load of tools around the place

  • 3 weeks later...

Its just that the the lowest I can get my auto down is 10.5L/100km & that is making a 430km trip doing about 110 - 120km/h (mostly) the whole way. & then I read people claiming that they get ~8L/100km doing mostly freeways (I assume it would be manual).

In the city mixed driving I can never get it below 12L/100km (always hover around 13.5L/100km)...

& now with mainly bumper to bumper traffic it shoots up to 16.5L/100km.

Car has the usual bolt ons (exhuast, intake, bleed valve to 10PSI) & a basic tune with SAFC 2.

I got a app on my phone where I enter details when I fill up like how much/mileage etc so it calcutes all sorts of averages by its self which is neat.

Anyway after about a year of owning a RB25DE R32 it says I get 11.19L/100k.

But dang I find the engine quite hungy once I drive a bit more heavy footed, especially when in a rush.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
