i find that i'm using alot of feul, most of my driving is city driving, i've read much on the feul consumption threads, my question is in regards to automatics, do they differ much from how u drive it to get the maximum efficiency?? Also what are the tips when driving to save on feul, currently i rev up to about 1-1.5krpm (i think) in first, then always change gears at about 2krpm til the last gear, and when going about 60kmph revs about 1.8-2krpm, 80km revs to about 2.1-2.3 krpm, these figures are quite rough... my acceleration is not fast either and is just like any car u see ... i think i only get about 300km per tank ... what am i doing wrong??

If your reving to about 2500 and only getting 300km to the tank you must have a fuel leak! Does the car smoke at all?

I usually keep it below 3000 when its cold, then after its warmed up anywhere up to about 5000 (with the odd redline :D) and I usually get 420-450km out of a tank.

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? Drags, sprints, racing? A decent upgrade of dba 4000 rotors, good quality pads (endless, project mu, intima are all I have used), quality fluid and braided lines. All have held up to multiple big track days and street duties. No need for big fancy kits as some also require significant energy to come upto operating temp. Look at 350z caliper and rotor upgrade too.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu comment on them and did a good write up.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      I've driven that one and it's a great deal and drives nice. The owner definitely treats it right on track. You would have gotten it for what you paid for this one too.   Keen to see what you do to this one.

      Front Tyres on R34 GTR, fitment, etc, *question*

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes

      URAS Type R R34 GT GTT Widebody Front Guards

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.
