In some specifications, it's stated

Fuel consumption at 10-15 modes, l/100km = 10.2 (about 1l:10km), and

Fuel consumption at 60 km/h, l/100km = 5.7 (about 1l:18km) best.

But I think these figures are quite unrealistic and almost impossible here.. I live in Sydney and my stock '98 R34 GT-t semi auto drinks 1 litre for around 6 km worst, and around 8km best, using Optimax..

Those figures sound about right to me although Litres per 100km is I think the easiest way to understand it.

So you have said from 12.5 to 16.7 Litres pre 100kms.

That said I can get over 20 giving it a hard time and I even did 32 with almost all racetrack driving. General but not excessive hoonish behaviour nets 16-18.

i got 400 with the current tank and its due for a refil after work

this is with very tame driving in sydney

usually, i get around 350 per tank if i drive faster

current mods - exhaust + pod

hope to get better fuel economy after a tune in a few weeks

I was getting 300km's to half a tank when driving it back from Sydney.

Full car (2 ppl, 4 rims, other suff) and it was 34 degrees, with air-con running the whole way. I reckon could get quite a bit better for highway driving.

So highway bout 10L/100km's... prob guessing around 13L/100km's when i started driving it around the burbs...

Hi peoples,

I am getting from best from 10.2 to 12.5 worst (summer, a/c, 4 ppls)..

Get about 400 to 470km be4 the yellow lights come on..

20% city, 80% suburan....

Never try High Way yet.. Think will drop to 9....

I will keep you guyz posted..

I use Optimax...

Be4 using Mobile 1 (best stuff from Mobile) ... car was taking 13.5L/100km... and idle and revs not smoothly... So... depends what oil u use.. will effect the fuel comsumption.. I think.. Correct me if i am wrong :cheers:.. :headspin:

i got 560 out of 52L (Optimax) in the first few days i got my car (R32 gtst)... that was FKN good imo.

but since then, ive been getting 425km from 49L (BPUltimate), then 369km from 44L (Optimax)

my stock R33 was about the same as the figures u guys are ssaying.. pretty fkn shocking imo.

there coming there coming. I want to try and do it on the cheap but without cutting corners. ie: instead of buying a full brand name exhaust system for $1400, i'll just buy the end muffler (brand name -$300) then take it down to the local exhaust place and get them to do the rest (hi-flow cat $150 - 3.5" exhaust piping $250), a saving of $800 bucks. :D and no i don't watch ACA.

i got a 3" hi-flow CAT and 3" front/dump pipe from BATMBL (not yet fitted) i think $420 for both (delivered) - just gotta find a 3" catback now... but i think i might go custom as i can't find anything that sits nice and straight, and parallel to the ground. I know straighter is better, but some just "look" f*cking ugly IMO...

been doing some suburb driving and got about 180km's from 20L, maybe more 175km's from 20 litres? not too bad...

    • So I actually had the cover off my car today, here is a (bad) pic of the setup. I have an oil cooler thermostat block, the temp sender is straight in there. The pressure sender has a short AN line to a T piece which is mounted (hopefully cable tied counts as mounted....) on the chassis. BTW every fitting you could ever imagine exists....just depends what they cost and how many you need. Raceworx AN adapters are here: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/, I think you said you need BSPT to AN (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/bsp/tapered/an-to-bspt-adapters/) and AN to NPT (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/npt/) BTW, braided line is super simple to make. It looks intimidating, is not.
    • Perfect day for a pie, really needs a soft top in this weather though
    • Prime parking, she is a little girl...LOL
    • 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.
