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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
