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.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
