WOW!!!!!!!

What a bunch of PLICS! LoL ... can't believe this guy thanked you. run till eeeemmmmpppptyyyy lol

You can> check trip meter> add 20L>check trip meter again to calculate fuel economy.(going off the guage line...) if the float tank in the changes every time then how can you guys know if your tanks empty? the needle drops below empty anyway... you are just saying hes not using the guage as a reference point and you are!? or everyone here is coughing and spluttering into the servo LoL...

just run till dry. :P (sarcasm.)

the bigger your tank is or the more fuel you put in the better your calculated avg fuel consumption will be. duh.

your stock gtst shouldnt be using more than 12L per 100km, first get new spark plugs(std gap is fine don't be picky). do the coilpacks(silicon fix works a treat) and run seperate power cable to ignition module-little black box), check afm. throttle position sensor, 02(yours is new) etc... hows exhaust smoke colour? excessive smoke? idle smooth?

you need some spanners and a multimeter... or a friend with some..

after that check(swap) ecu, injectors.... or just get it plugged into a dyno and have the stuff read for you...

BTW can someone please tell me how to check my fuel economy? tripsteady seems to understand how to calculate fuel economy, but I dont yet, please someone tell me... :P

not sure what the point of this post is or whether it was made in jest towards more of the knowledgable members of this forum but thanks for your input anyway.

thanks for the useless post.

lets point out a few of your faults so anyone who reads your post doesn't get misinformation, shall we?

1: none of us ever said to run till empty.

2: you can't accurately use the gauge for calculating fuel economy (without filling to full first). the reason being that the gauge isn't millimeter accurate. if you park your car on a slight hill it will alter where the gauge sits by a small amount. also driving the car around will make the gauge sit differently. i can hop in my car and the gauge will sit at 1/4 of a tank, but by the time i get 500m down the road it will be down to 1/8 of a tank. if i park on the flat and let it sit for 5 mins or so it will come back up to 1/4 of a tank. anywhere under 1/4 of a tank and the fuel light will come on when going uphill. the moment you get onto the flat again it will go out. plus the fact that a few litres of fuel won't make a noticable difference to where the needle sits on the gauge. that is why the gauge cannot be used to calculate economy. you are best off just filling to the top, resetting the trip meter, driving for a few hundred kms, filling to the top again and then calculating the economy.

3: you will find very few members getting better than 12L/100kms in start/stop traffic from a gtst. even a stock one. given than most people get 10 to 11L/100kms on the highway, you won't get it in heavy traffic. plenty of members will say they do city driving simply because they live in the city, but often half of their driving will be on motorways at anywhere from 60 to 100kmh, and that drastically alters the economy. if you can drive 5kms at a steady speed then you will get much better economy than someone going the same distance having to stop every few hundred metres. travelling at a steady 60kmh will usually yield better economy than 100kmh.

1. I was joking about the re-iteration of run till empty... or how to calculate fuel economy... its pretty easy yes? beware of calling ppl Plics... lol, I get easily offended. not harm intended. chill

2. yes you need to fill it up... I'm wrong there... I presumed you were relying on the guage... so LoL at me.

3. as for that, I'd say you wouldn't want worse than 12L/100km in traffic... otherwise something is probably not working in harmony..

as for useless post... i guess you can figure out the engine yourself. If the economy is down... and you have new 02 sensor, tried plugs, coilpacks, afm, tps, the list goes on... Im sure you'll figure it out.

you seem to act like someone who thinks they know alot about cars but in actuality dont. lemme guess, ur going for your L's this weekend and are a 14 year old keyboard warrior on school holidays?

turn it up... u should have fixed your stock ign coils and run a thicker guage wire to the ignition module... or spend a lot on spitfire coils... which are nice but not very cost effective. your loss.

lol @ loss at spendin on splitfires. Most people run them sir...but I guess you wouldnt know that.

  • 4 weeks later...

thanks for the useless post.

lol @ loss at spendin on splitfires. Most people run them sir...but I guess you wouldnt know that.

ok Im in your face, get over it, as for trying to save you money and you having a go... watever.

heres an old DIY on fixing coilpacks... do it with silicon... and running a wire straight to the ign module boosts voltage to it for better spark. due to voltage drops through the ecu.

http://www.skylinesa...ssfire-problem/

good you have splitfires now... they will be nice.. especially for a massive boost setup. thing is you probably didnt need them... just trying to save you money.

sorry for taking the piss mad082... you didnt read the post, otherwise you'd know that it's not useless to run a seperate power wire to the ign module for better spark. as for economy... Ill stand where I am, stock gtst's should get 500km/tank.... and city/hwy driving is highly variable... depending on your style...

I know from past experience a lot of ppl post on here(like you assume I am) with no idea about engines and recommend stuff you don't need... I thought aftermarket coilpacks had been done to death, you only need them for high boost situations, but ask someone on here with stock coilpacks running a higher power application, before spending 600 on coilpacks for a pretty stock engine... goes in the same bracket as what gap do I run my plugs at with stock boost?

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
