Hey guys

I have been trying to figure out how my stagea goes with fuel.

I have done my research and seems normally they should do 400kms per 60l tank.

I drive 80kms to and from work every day so I do 400kms a week. I fill up $70 premium every Monday and lasts till Saturday. Premium price varies obviously.

Works out about $14 a day for 80kms

What's everyone else getting. Does my figures sound about right or is my stag using a lol too much fuel??

You should talk litres per hundred to be more accurate.

Mine is a rwd with rb30 bottom end. To and from work 12ks each way uses 13.3 litres per hundred. Have been meaning to tidy up cruise part of tune for a while as I think it could be better.

I'm assuming your commute to and from work contains some freeway/highway driving?? 11.25 sounds very good...You have to remember Stagea's (S2 I think...dunno if the S1 or the M35 is the same) have a 68L fuel tank in them

On the other hand - check out http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/167866-stagea-fuel-economy/ - There is a discussion thread on fuel economy

S2 c34 rs4s gets 400km from 3/4 tank (have never run it into the last 1/4) if I drive like a total nana with only one or two slight boost moments. 350km if driving a little more spirited. Driving on the highway between adelaide and melbourne I got 550kms approx.

(I dont know how big the tank is to do ltrs/100km) but would assume its between 13 and 16 lt/100km average. Fair heavy considering the charger (with a 4.3ltr 4bbl auto) does about 15-17 lt/100km.. and it weighs about the same lol

Is there a system available for the c34 that can do the same?

Not sure, all the searches on Japanese Yahoo auctions searches came up for M35.

There are a few guys that can do the language conversion software, and the units are worth nothing in Japan, basically throw away $40 nzd. I guess it must link info from diagnostic software/on board computer to the nav screen?

Is there a system available for the c34 that can do the same?

Yes, it is called ECU Talk, here is a link for it,

i have one in my car, it is useful not only for L/100km but all other diagnostics.

can be used with a laptop and consult software to check for faults.

great investment http://www.ecutalk.com/consultlcd.aspx

S1 RS4V - does around 12.5-13L/100km "round town" ie Canberra roads. Country highway is 11-12L/100km, freeway is on the lower end of that.

Fuel economy improved ~1L/100km when I installed a hypergear hi flow turbo and a mv auto stage 2 shift kit.

Can't say scientifically which did what improvement, but my money would be on the turbo.

S1 rsfour, manual converted.

Only engine mods are rear resonator and big fmic.

14l/100km regardless of hwy or town driving.

Pretty much 100km per 1/4 tank or 400km/tank, I always fill up at around 350km.

ive found a noticeable change in fuel economy since having a stage 2 shift kit fitted to my S1RS4

Its possible, though I can't think why. The box runs a slightly higher line pressure, so if anything there should be more energy lost through the transmission. Perhaps not enough to make a difference on economy. MV autos said it shouldn't make a difference.

The larger turbo should be less restrictive and doesn't spool up at the whiff of a throttle. It now stays off boost unless Im giving some throttle over 3k rpm. That should be more efficient with the stock ecu.

Still, everyones results may vary. I read a post once saying that the stage 2 kit would effect the lock up converter, and I havent found that to be the case at all. Can't see how it would be either.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
