So for the last few months i've been filling up at around 300km. I have an Injen CAI and no other engine mods.

I just filled up then and my needle was just above empty (i do realise that the needle is a little incorrect)

I filled up the tank today at 287KM and my car took 41L of fuel, i know the tank holds 80L but i have never driven the car to completely empty, in fact i don't think i've even done over 400km to the tank.. I feel so stupid because i've been filling up way before necessary, with the driving i do i should theoretically be getting close to 500KM to a tank.

Facepalm.

I usually get around 600km before filling which is usually just after the fuel light comes on. I usually manage 11.5L/100km in winter. And about 12.0L/100km in summer (heavy AC use in summer). Which gives me a theoretical range of 660-700km per tank.

All light city driving.

6MT sedan. With shell 95RON fuel.

I usually fill at 1/4 left by which point there's 400km on the clock. Was avg 12l/100km. No ac, start stop traffic though. Stock as a rock.

After changing the diff fluid, this seems to be getting better. Now looks like closer to 10l/100km but we've been doing a lot of motorway Kim's during this season.

Mines stock and I got 730km driving from Sydney. Around town I get around 550 ish

That's impressive!

aha I don't even trust the needle anymore, i just watch how many km's i've done and where i've been driving/how i've been driving then fill up when i deem approprite. But this time i've going to let it run to 500 then refill and see how close to empty i am then.

I have only done 1 highway trip in mine. Townsville - Yeppoon and return.

1 tank each way, about 740km. Low fuel light had just come on when I arrived in Yeppoon. After filling in Yeppoon, i still had 1/4 of a tank left when arriving in Townsville.

From memory, I averaged about 7.8L/100km overall.

After reflashing with the Uprev software, my first full fill up on 98 till now was 790kms. Not even kidding. Will be interesting to see if this can happen again... :S

Did you drive to Sydney?

Cruise control 95kmh behind a road train?

James sometimes an automatic with cruise control can actually be worse on fuel than a manual because of the constant gear changes. At least i know for a fact this is the case for the mid 2000 model Prado's.

Good question.. under want conditions did you get 790km from 1 tank? if it was highway KM, then this is about normal.. if it was city driving then it is very impressive.

I'm guessing that must be highway km unless he's driving a little 1.5L v4. Max i've gotten out of mine for highway km is about 700 and that's with a little bit of enthusiastic driving.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • 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.
