Hey guys,

i drive a manual 98' 34 NA, drove till the tank was empty and filled it up with 100 premium from united, which i pump regularly.

I got 450ish K's outta my tank before the light went on again.

Just wanna find out if you guys get more or less, is my lead foot too heavy or light?

Sounds about right to me, I think I get a bit less than that; probably between 400-450 when the light comes on (can drive around with the light on though, obviously).

I think I'm averaging 12L/100km or so... I pump 98 only. Not great :/.

Think should really be able to get 10-12. I granny around all the time as well, so dunno haha.

as i say in every fuel economy thread, the fuel light coming on is not a measure of economy as it will come on at a slightly different point in every car. you are best off just paying attention to how many ltires you put in and then using this, with how far you have travelled to calculate your exact fuel economy in Litres/100kms, as this will give you a better indication as to whether you are getting good or bad economy. someone elses light may come on with 5L more fuel in the tank, meaning that they would get about 50kms less than you, even though they may actually be getting the same fuel economy.

plus there are many variables in fuel economy. things like driving style, driving conditions (stop/start heavy traffic, or light flowing traffic. hilly areas. lots of short trips, etc)

The best fuel economy I got out of my R34 while it was NA was about 9.5L/100km

The worst was about 40L/100km :laugh:

Now that the car is turbo my average fuel consumption has actually improved (when I'm not thashing the hell out of it ;) )

its a 60L tank yes? so when the light comes on you've got say 10-15L still in there, i know for a fact i drove my car to the tuner with the light on and got there with it under the empty line , syphoned all the fuel out ( was doing Eflex) and i got 10L out of it

so if we said there was 10-15L left when you have done 450km then its actually very good economy and around the 10-12L/100km :yes:

450km = :cheers:

I did (I wasn't paying enough attention at 7am this morning lol)

About 420ks with 50L with my v8 commodore

And I drive it pretty damn hard + 99% of my driving is in peak hour

Helped by 1400rpm at 80km/h and it accelerates up hills like that

While that may seem thirsty, it's less than the skyline/supra/soarer

And runs 100% fine on 91 octane so the is a 15c/L saving right there :)

ahaha, yeah. coles and woolies fuel (including e10) all the way for my wagon. the most revs my car sees on the way to work is 2500rpm, and that's taking off from the lights. once i'm on the highway it doesn't go above 2000rpm, even when overtaking. got the trip computer to show over 1000kms to empty a few weeks back. that's a little bit optimistic though. i generally get about 670kms before the fuel light comes on, and about 750kms before i actually fill up (and there's still usually about 12 to 15L left in the tank). one day i will take a fuel tin with me and see just how far i can get before it runs out. i reckon i should be able to hit 900kms from the 75L tank. not bad for a hunk of shit with over 250,000kms on the clock

and because it's all highway driving, i do my oil changes at 15,000kms, and the oil still looks good.

You guys have to rev to 2500RPM? Stop revving so damn hard!

I only rev my coon to 2500, maybe 3000RPM if I want to go somewhere f**king quickly.

Otherwise, keep her below 2000RPM all the way, cruise at 100KM/H smack on 1500RPM... And it pulls hills at that :P

Oh, and freeway does 8L/100KM with 4 adults cruising at 110 - 120KM/H, with a few hits here and there.

This, except E39 528i. 1550rpm @ 100kmh. Freeway running 6.6-6.8L/100km. Ha.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
