Well Ive been reading, all the fuel consumption threads and not one of them really talked about AUTO na skylines.

So regarding the auto skylines, how much fuel do they take? L/km

Mods would just be 3" exhaust full.

I Have used the SEARCH feature, but it wasn't really helpfull.

Edit: what's better in fuel efficiency skylines na or supras na?

Not sure about autos, so I don't really have an answer to your main question. Wouldn't be DRASTICALLY different from manuals though, I wouldn't think... much more dependant upon your right foot imo.

The consensus around here is to go 2.25-2.5" for the catback though, 3" is probably bit too big. Loud as balls too.

Not firsthand experience, but I'd daresay NA supra will have similar fuel efficiency to the NA skylines, 9-13L/100km or so? So average it out as 11? Haha.

So I've been told that Supra's drink petrol like its water.

Well I can give you the exact answer your looking for.

I get a good 425KM running on a full tank of Premium 98 before the empty light comes on. I believe it could do at least 450KM before I start running on fumes, but I tend not to risk it, although I do plan to run completely dry until my 34 becomes dehydrated to the point the engine shuts off just to see the MAXIMUM it can do on a full tank.

Gotta get myself a Jerry can first.

But to answer your question, 425KM on full tank of 98. Auto R34 25GT with RB25DE, no mods. Costs me about $140 a week though to run, since it's my daily and I drive it to city and back most days.

But do you really have to put 98, $140 week is alot

You don't NEED to. I drive it at least 3 hours a day to and from work so I do use it a bit more than others would. You don't have to use 98, in fact RB25DE is recommended to use premium 95 (what it says on my engine plate anyway). You could also use premium 91 or E10 fuels. Although it isn't recommended since they are dirtier fuels and can give you engine problems later on.

You can pay less for fuel if you drive it less, Keep in kind that I drive it quite often.

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
