I get on average 260Kms a tank with my GTT aswell. Engine wise it's completely stock. I've cleaned AFM changed the fuel filter, fuel filter was completely clogged I noticed a slight difference in fuel consumption, maybe I'll have to go for the O2 sensor and new plugs see if that helps as well

Also if someone has put a low temp thermostat in, or yours is stuck open, then that will also add to poor fuel efficiency. Cold crank enrichment tapers off at 70C so the quicker she gets up to temp the better.

This. I put a Nismo thermostat in my Riceline, water temp now sits at 60C unless I'm at a track day. I struggle to get 12L/100kms, when I first bought the car I easily got 9.5L/100kms on the highway

I do do alot of short trips, I'm running PFR8 plugs with a 0.9 gapp,

Short trips, incorrect heat range plugs - no wonder you have absolute crap economy.

Try running a 6 heat range for starters. And plan your trips better so the engine operates at the correct temperature for most of the time.

So OEM/stock thermostat is best for fuel economy? What about oil cooler with built-in thermostat?

Mines got a oil cooler with no thermostat, oil temp sits between 70-80 degrees. I run BCPR6ES plugs with the standard gap, which is 0.8mm from memory.

I've found V Power to give me greater mileage than BP Ultimate for some reason too

I ran those before the PFR8S and it was the same thing, well the owner in Japan did fit quite a few Nismo parts to the car, I'll check what thermostat is in there and give the AAC valve a clean aswell, is there a way I can get error codes through a power fc by any chance, thanks.

And whats the difference between the BCPR6ES and the BCPR6E? And could some refresh my mind the lower the number the higher the plug temp correct? thanks.

Yep lower number is hotter. Has anyone checked their timing? That would have an impact on economy. Also should be talking litres per 100 ks as too many variables with a 'tank' of fuel.

true but seriosuly when were talking a difference of 550km- 250km, i dont think brimmed vs filled is going to mean too much.

Its not the difference of how full, but how empty it is when you fill it. Accuracy of fuel gauge and how far you are willing to with the gauge below the E.

mine been tuned a while back after i re-did my fuel pump mod for battery voltage, crap economy, around 300km on full (72L tank IIRC), o2 sensors turned off, bcpr6es plugs, no leaky injectors, although i do short trips (10km) each way to work, low temp sender perhaps buggered?

Install a wideband o2 and see what your car is doing. I've seen lazy tuners who don't even care too much about off boost injection maps and just rely purely on o2 closed loop to work out the mixtures.

I find mine is chewing up a fair bit of petrol as well. I've put some fuel injector cleaner in which should help, also going to replace the spark plugs and clean the AFM sensor to see if that makes a difference.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
