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.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
