Hi all, I did a quick search but couldn't find much on fuel economy so I thought I'd post this up.

I've got an R34 GTT auto with a recently installed Hypergear ATR43SS2 and supporting mods (full list here), currently running 257rwkw.

I always keep track of my fuel expenses and I measure consumpsion by filling up fully every time and noting down the odo reading. Here's an overview:

  • Completely stock 150rwkw, overall average of 12.2 litres/100km over 8,000 kms
  • Stock turbo with upped boost and Nistune with supporting mods 199rwkw, overall average of 11.9 litres/100km over 18,000kms

I've only filled up the car the three times since having the Hypergear installed, however the average consumption is currently sitting at 16.4 litres/100km. Granted it's been a lot of city driving but it's still a pretty silly figure.

What kind of economy (litres/100km) are you guys getting out of your 250rwkw+ setups?

not really that silly. what did you think was going to happen?

Umm, I expected maybe a 20% increase in fuel consumption? My previous car with a 5.7 litre LS1 and 293rwkw drank an average of 16.9 l/100km, just as another reference point.

But yeah keen to hear what others are getting.

Right foot in stop/start traffic? - srsly

Me with 320wKw? In my country town and driving gently, I use 12.8 l/100Km. In nearby hairpins, it goes up to 20...

Modified cars and GTR ownership isn't measured in miles per gallon but smiles per gallon. The more you use the more you get. ( legally of course ). Cough.

If you can't afford the petrol you can't afford the car.

Thanks guys. I'm not complaining, just trying to work out what I should expect in terms of fuel consumption and if there's something I could improve in my setup, tune or driving style.

Coincidentally, there is a recent thread on the LS1 forums with people reporting their gas mileage, which I found quite useful. It confirms that city driving/low speeds really kill the economy with high powered cars.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.

      It does sound like a fuse considering the indicators work..I’ll triple check when I’m free and report back.    thanks for the reply.

      While going through data logs late last week, I spotted a small issue with my WMI. My WMI starts to progressively inject at 11psi of boost. I'm using a 25psi cut in pressure switch on my WMI as an added safety and if the curve is linear, I should hit that 25psi on my WMI system around 13-14psi of boost.  As per my data logs, my WMI pressure switch only activates around 19psi of boost. This is causing my non WMI 4D map to trim for WMI. I'm presuming this is caused by the mechanical switch response time, injection curve not being linear or both.  I ordered a 2-10psi adjustable cut in pressure switch which should correct this. If this doesn't resolve it before my dyno appointment on Friday, I'll just remove the pressure switch temporarily and more than likely replace it with a pressure transmitter afterwards.    BTW Speedtek has yet to refund me.
