Well i normally often travel 360 km (Liverpool to Bathurst), with a full tank it can get me to and back before having only 1 bar of fuel left.

Is it normal considering i may be driving like a grandma always under 3000 rpm?

Well i will take it to a different mechanic soon to see afm, O2 sensor and boost leak etc.

Hmmmm, almost sounds normal fuel consumption but in saying so my S1 33 is playing up and chewing 14.2L/100kms went up from 13.8L after a new O2 sensor :/ But if what I hear is correct the 34 engines are meant to be alot for fuel economical then the 33's correct?

With the 3 skylines i have owned i have always been able to achieve around 10l/100km on the open road, and thats with abit of chopping down and overtaking thrown in. Given that you; dont want to rev past 3000rpm, dont like exhaust or 'wooshing' noises and want something that is going to be economical I don't think a skyline is the vehicle for you. Buy a mazda 3 and enjoy accelerating past skylines at the lights with minimal noise and only using 6l/100km.

more boost = your motor's volumetric efficiency increases..

SO.. you could say when you're driving like a tool and fully on boost, at maximum peak torque your motor is "efficient"

I always like to put my motor in it's "efficiency" zone :D

Also - the fact you're getting MORE than 300K's to a tank in a Turbo R34 is AWESOME.
Most barely see 300.

If you think you putting $80 worth of fuel in there is gonna last forever in what is essentially - a powerhouse - is stupid.

Also..
Buy an NA if the "woosh' over 3000 rpm scares you.
I am dumber for having read this thread.

lol

    • 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.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
