300Km To A Tank... What The Hell? R33 Gts-T

[tripsteady]

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. (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...

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.

thanks for the useless post.

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.

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?
