Under 10 litres per 100kms should be attainable quite easily in highway conditions. However, you won't get it if your sitting on 120km/h. Car returns great fuel economy around the 90km/h with the auto trans locked up on the highway. Remember the trip computer goes off the tank level, and is not the height of accuracy if your fuel gauge is inaccurate. Also the tank has a strange shape that can trap several litres of fuel in the opposite side to the pump pickup.

at 400km i'm sitting on about 1/8 of a tank in my normal driving routine ( 20% highway with roadworks, 80% city). but on the trip from Rockhampton -> Gold Coast i was smack bang on 10L/100km @120km/h , even with the current 15,000,000 roadworks that are happening on the highway

Thats shit. You should be running o2 correction fine because your supercharged. If you are gentle on it, it would return decent econ, a little worse than stock.

If you can't get O2 to work, get it retuned with a Uprev, and sell the Fcon. Mine was tuned rich with boost but still never came close to that kind of fuel usage AND I didn't use O2 correction, just road tune.

Ok, 300kms highway and 47km city used 31L. This equated to approximately 8.9L/100km.

Yesterday's cruise used about the same amount and that was 220kms. Was keeping her up in the revs around the mountains though. That equates to 14l/100km. Which is about right when you're almost always sitting at 4-5k rev with heavy braking around sharp turns and powering out of them.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
