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.

The thing is you could be hitting stoich no worries but retarded timing will need larger throttle openings, hence worse consumption. its not enough to have a stoich ratio.

Had my worked R34 GTT retuned and still only get 250km to the tank... thinking of changing ECU from Power FC to get better fuel economy. Pretty sure the Rb25 is meant to be the most fuel efficient 6 cyl produced...

I ran a PowerFC on my old R33, consistently got 430~450km and would do easily 550+ km on the highway.

I had it ran in closed loop, used the narrowband simulation of an Innovate LC-1 and had a bit more timing in cruise than the stock map (cruise area that is).

That's terrible economy. I would be questioning the tuner on that one,unless you drive like a mental case everywhere.

Where did you hear that the rb is the most efficient 6 cylinder? That doesn't sound right!

My economy improved after full exhaust, FMIC and Nistune with a proper dyno tune - go figure.

Also 'kms to a tank' is not a realiable measure of economy, I always recommend calculating l/100km, it's easy enough to do.

For some 'over time' averages check this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/436056-fuel-economy-for-250rwkw/

How many litres are you calling a tank? My current car has a 50l tank and the needle is nearly on empty after 30l of fuel used.

That's an understatement. In these kinds of threads, its not uncommon to see claims of >25L/100kms based on the "x kms to a tank" lingo. Which is around the consumption of turbo bentleys, v12 lambos and ferraris.

Haha, indeed. That said, my previous V8 actually drank 25 l/100km in stop-start around town, now that's economy...

I recently bought a R33 GTST which is stock. I get about 250kms on 3/4 tank (roughly 40L). I dont actually wait for the light as I dont know how far the car will go haha...

edit: roughly

    • 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.
