I have a 96 r33 vpec that currently running 22psi and has 486kw on the wheels it's running on e85 and I'm getting about 90km from 3/4 of a tank 

It's booked in at jem for a flex tune and maybe a eco/cruise day tune just so I don't have to stop ever 90km to fill up 

Just wanting to see who out there has similar power and what millage U getting out of a tank? 

 

Clip for attention

Mixed driving, usually meet ups and cruise days consist of both

 

I just Purchased the car but it's chewing about 54L/100km from a rough calculation but when I fill up next I'll have a more accurate L/100 it's just i haven't hit the 100km mark yet for me to go full up to the first click 

And it's only tuned ATM for e85 it's booked in for a retuned and a few different maps, plus flex fuel next month but I'm just interested in what others out there are achieving on their builds

All good mate. No need to worry about actually hitting the 100 km mark, just zero out your trip meter the next time you fill up. Then whenever you decide to refill again, fill up the tank and post up how much fuel you used and the km driven. 

As for burning 54L/100km, I'd be amazed if that was the actual figure. If that was real, that is batshit crazy rich and I'm amazed the car runs well. We really need the actual numbers to be able to give proper feedback. 

Do you have a wideband o2 sensor in the car? Can you tell us what your cruising AFR's are like?

Last year, I went on a couple of trips with my mate who has a 500hp R34 GTT sedan. I have a stock R34 GTT coupe. When it came to fill-up time, I was shocked to see we were putting near-identical amounts in. On these trips, I drove a lot less efficiently than him - keeping the revs higher - and being considerably more aggressively on back roads. Justification: it was Japan and gasoline is as cheap as piss. 

My car doesn't have any fuel consumption related issues. I can't remember exactly what I can get from a tank but roughly 4-500kms seems about right.  

As far as my friend's motor is concerned, I don't know the precise details of his build but it's something along the lines of: stock bottom end, tomei pon cams, bigger hot side, injectors, Nismo fuel pump, front-facing plenum and Nistune.

Depends on how you’re driving it but that seems far to rich, for reference  I was able to get 330kms to a tank before it literally ran out due a faulty fuel sender telling me I had half a tank, that included a trip to roll racing

Yeah there is soemthing going on the with calcs, or may be the fuel sender and/or odometer is not working properly. E85 will use a fair bit more fuel, but that is like 30% more not 200% more :)

Off boost your car is pretty much like any standard engine (noting it probably has cams which would decrease the efficiency a litte). My 400kw stagea gets around 12l/100 on highway driving on 98; not great but not terrible

My old 500hp R33 25/30 boat used about 20 L/100 Km around town, and about 15 L/100 Km on the Hwy on 98

Currently my 500hp blown LS1 in a Dunnydoore uses around 25 L/100 Km around town, and 12 L/100 Km Hwy on 98

I'm assuming your fuel gauge isn't accurate

I hope so I'll find out next fill up true usage as I zeroed off the KMs last fill 

 

Just need to get the blinkers back on the front front of the car before taking it out 

 

But thanks for the rough estimates I does give me some sort of target I'll be looking at after tuning

Yeah it has the full haltech catalogue of sensors it's booked into jem mid next month so I can get more info from them just need to get a new muffler and resonator fitted before then looking at the sp mufflers 4" inlet muffler and res

You could go for a drive, plug in a laptop and log data. If you upload the data here, that would answer a lot of questions.

I'd bank on no more that 15 if you're not leaning on it all the time. I get flat 10s on 98.

I should of said that's for a mix of driving around town with quite a bit of loud pedal and no highway driving. I figure most of us use our skylines as a means to a bit of fun.

I usually get around 20-23l/100 for the above type of driving with 315rwkw on E85. It would probably be a little better if my trips to work where longer (only 15 min drive), would waste a bit on cold engine enrichment.

I reckon I could get 15l/100 if I drove in full fuel economy mode. No loud pedal, just cruise. I'd rather drive a Camry than do that, lol.

With all your Haltech sensors, I'm guessing you also have a Haltech ECU?

Grab the right software for your ECU from here.

Here is a nice little quick start guide. When you setup the data logger, you can just log every channel to keep things easy.

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
