i get 450-500 out of my 11second gtr but by then its totaly empty 63-65 lt to fill up , driving around in the burbs . i must be very light footed i think .

a stock gtst should use a lot less

thanks guys for the comments yeah something must be up ..is pretty stock has a k and n pod, apexi boost controller (the old one ) no one knows how to work.. im not driving it that hard either... and it always runs out at 250km .. i broke down the other day in the main road it was embarrosing ran out of petrol... everyone was beeping no one got out to help .. the bastards... :upurs:

mines bog stok 2, jus has a megasonic bov, n i can only get 300-350kms from bout 50-60L. only eva use bp ultimate n always put in nf octane booster in every tank.. but meh.. got use 2 50+buks a week for fuel now, been ova a year. have found 2, i can drive on empty for 100ks do it al the time, but the fuel light goes a bit syko.. tiznt recomended 2 go lowr then 65lt.. duznt like 2 corner.. *cough* *splutr*

reckon ne1 in the world has converted a 'line 2 gas.. roflmao!

looks like you're running really rich. get an safc, get the A/F right and you should be getting over 400KM per tank.

in my stock GTR I get around 400KM per 50L, although if I drive it hard it drinks more

given you live in SA i also think you should be getting abit more out of your tank than what you are getting....

from my experience and also reading and replying to many many threads of the same topic:

if you lived within a radius of say 15km of sydney city i'd be very surprised if you got any better than 13l/100km.

if you lived out of that radius then yeah, 10-12l/100km.

victorians also seem to get very good fuel economy, i have a theory that they have better fuel quality and obviously they havent got the same traffic congestion (similar to brisbanites).

13s on the highway sounds reasonably definite a o2 sensor problem, unless ur car is running really shit (if it seems fine then its probably the o2 sensor), in which case it could be anything to do with air/fuel

my car has been getting 15-17s around town, but got 9.5 on a trip to wollongong and back.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
