Km's To A Tank


Recommended Posts

Given a 'tank' isn't a unit of measurement, I suggest calculating L/100km to give a better idea of economy.

But such a significant change suggests something is wrong. Fuel leak, clogged exhaust, faulty O2 sensors.. or a host of other possible problems. If you aren't too 'car savvy', probably best to get it checked by your mechanic.

There isn't really anything to 'tune' on these cars, unless you spend $$$ on an uprev reflash, or something similar. And you don't want to be doing something like this until the fault causing the poor fuel economy is repaired.

Perhaps they just mean a full service? oil, filters, etc. - even so, it is unlikely to impact the economy by that much.

Did it slowly get worse, or just became bad all of a sudden?

Out of curiousity, when was the last time that you had it serviced and what fuel do you use?

Reason I ask is, I usually get about 12km/l, changed the oil and filter, filled her up with P100 and got 9l/100. Was very strange... :/

So when you filled it up after 300km, how many litres did it take? What sort of driving are you doing?

I get anywhere from 8 l/100 km (flat freeway at 100 Kph) to 15 l/100 km (in heavy city traffic with a/c on full in summer), and expect to see around 12 - 14 l/100 km in normal city driving. If I was driving for economy (and I don't) I'd hope to see this go down by 1 - 2 l/100 km. How does that compare to yours?

i drive normally not like redlining it all the time, i also fill up 98 every time. I called my mechanic and he said he will be able to look at it this weekend so hopefully its nothing major. thanks for all the help guys, i was pretty worried that it might be something major

City vs Hwy driving makes a massive difference in mine. That being said, I still get at least 450-500km out of a tank and the most that I have even put in is less than 70lt. Keep in mind that these things have an 80lt tank.

80l? I choked and struggled into a city a few years back and only filled up 64l...

    • You could try some less aggressive pads on the rear. I found (a long time ago when all my brakes were stock 32) that using the same (Bendix Ultimate) pads at both ends made the rear bias excessive. I strongly suspect that the stock Nissan pads probably use a different material, but aftermarket pads will usually be the same material regardless of what pad they are put onto. That bias situation did get better when I put R33 calipers on the front AND used the same pads - just transferred them from old to new calipers. So you should feel the difference with the change you're making. But certainly do not forget the option to change the rear pads down a grade or two.
    • Ha ha, sorry dose, I wasn't meaning to argue the point on "it'll do f**k all". I was only shining a bit of a light in the flawed logic you used with it mate.   I 100% agree that there is zero point changing stock manifold with a stock turbo, unless the manifold is f**ked. And only reason I'd ponder aftermarket manifold on a stock turbo would be that I'm too scared too look at the potential ludicrous prices people are asking for a stock manifold! Ha ha ha
    • Shhh... Muricans don't understand the idea of metric so can't find half the stuff we have for modifying JDM cars 😛
    • That may or may not be me that replied 😅
    • Your response is extremely similar to what someone on the Haltech tuning tips Facebook page answered me. I take it you're also on there haha. Dyno is booked for June 27th and that's exactly what I'll be doing. I also realized I never setup a pulse width adder table so I went and did that last night. Made a fair bit of fueling difference in low load areas.  I sorted out my power steering belt woes. It was an alignment issue and it has now survived multiple instances of abuse that would have killed it prior. I also changed my fuel pump hose. The hose I replaced looks nothing like the legit gates hose I received. Real hose is actually 5/16" and is labelled properly. Amazon refunded me but has been giving me grief about my nasty review I'm trying to leave... I keep having to modify it for acceptance. I want to make sure the point gets across to others.  Last issue I want to deal with soon is the slight vibration I get in my steering wheel with my GKTech Spacers in front. My annoyance has grown and I'm at a point where I want it resolved. I've tried everything I can come up with like clean spacers thoroughly, tighten in star pattern, retorque, have wheels rebalanced 4-5x with a variety of machines (2x with a Hunter elite). I've also taken the spacers off and remounted multiple times just in case.  I'm starting to think my GKtech spacers are at fault. I'll pop a wheel off and toss a dial indicator on tomorrow to verify runout and parallelism.
