I know I know Fuel consumption again


Recommended Posts

Alright Guys,

I would really like to narrow this down for the benefit of all.

Are there ANY series 1 gtst owners out there getting over 400km per tank?

Lets do a quick survey:

- What petrol are you using;

- What mods (if any) and be specific (an exhaust mod can range from cat-back to muffler...);

- Have you reset your ecu since you got the car

- How many kms the car has done when you bought it (or now if ya cant remember)

- I think the boost guage is in a series 1 - what does it read when you hammer the car - 4-5500rpm

- Idle speed when cold, then when warm

That's all I can think of at the moment, when we have a few answers, I will draft up a table and whack it on my website so we can see in a table or something, some similarities.

Here are my answers:

1. BP Ultimate (am on 4th tank in a row now)

2. From what I can tell - only the exhaust system was changed to fit compliance. I did notice that my ecu does not have any LED system on it for Diag mode (?)

3. The second night I got it, disconnected the battery, pumped the brake 6 times

4. 85500 (close)

5. When 4000rpm+ it hits the first bar between 0 and +7. At 5500 and up it goes another quarter to be between the first bar and +7

6. When cold - 1100, warm - 850ish...

srb33 , get your car tuned if you have a pfc or a chip .

if you got a stock ecu not much you can do .

i have a s 1 r33 gtr with pfc and n1 turbos and i get up to 500 k driving around sydney , at least 450 k but i fill up when the red light comes on about 60 -62 lt .

the car runs 11.7 @120 mph and i dont drive like an old woman on a trip i get better .

when i bought the car with stock turbos and stock ecu ( turbo back exhaust ) best i could do was 350 -380k . a good tune not only gives you more power but better fuel economy as well .

i use shell optimax .

- Car - S1 GTS4 (NA)

- BP Ultimate

- Cat back exhaust + Pod Filter

- Yes - Have reset stock ecu

- 65000 KM when I got it, 80,000 KM now

- No boost guage!

- Cant remember idle speed exactly, but normal

- Currently getting about 20L/100KM :S.. Was going to replace O2 Sensor on weekend, but will do next weekend

Cheers :)

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
