Hi ppl, trying to work out if my car has a problem or not....how many k's do most of you get per tank?

The fuel gague may sit on half right and i'll be driving a bit, then it'll go up like a cm!?!?! then back down a bit more, then up.....what the?

Also how much $$$ does it take you to fill from empty?

i get about 400km to a tank and i run 12psi and give it alot of shit.

my fuel gauge is also ****ed, my float isnt in place (when replacing my fuel pump i found out it was just floating around in the tahnk :() it is a bastar to get it back into place so i just leave it. so from then on i just always know im about 1/4 of a tank around 300km and just fill up ;)

Your guage prolly goes up as you drive because the float is at the rear of the tank, when you take off the fuel sloshes to the back and the fuel guage goes up, when you brake, the reverse happens, fuel guage goes down.

Thats my experence with my r33 GTST.

My fuel usage is about 12.5l/100km or about 400ks per tank.

50L get's me about 320-340 kilometers.

So about 15.6 litres per hundred kilometers.

11 psi, 200 rwkw, and daily normal driving.

Long distances gives me much better.

Did 350 on 35 litres on the GOR trip last weekend.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
