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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
