Ummm very dependent on how you drive it mate. The turbo can be your best friend or your worst enemy. (fuel consumption wise)

You can fill the tank for about $50. Well given the price of premium fuels at the moment maybe $60-$65

On a whole, very good considering the kick in the pants power it offers when you need it. Cheaper to run than a V6 commodore and a lot more fun.

i only let my car run down to 3/4 of a tank, and i get easy over 300km per tank (or 3/4's of!)

i think the tank size is somewhere around the 50L mark.

well my fuel economy is off, the best i have got so far is 350 to a full tank, and that was average driving. Although my average driving will differ from everyone elses hehe

Not sure how many k's I would get driving around town, as I seem to suffer from some strange affliction that prevents me ever remembering to reset the trip meter when filling the tank.

On the highway I would guess somewhere around 450 km + to a tank - on Saturday drove from Tuggers to Autosalon at Homebush, then on to Gladesville, filled up at Marulen on the way home, which I reckon would be around the 450 mark.

If you are getting something drastically less you could do what I did - clean your AFM, replace your air filter and O2 sensor, and reset your ECU.

You grandmothers!!! Is this the CWA website or the SAU one??? Economy.... bleh

Depending, I can get about the 450 km mark on the highway if I take it easy.

I can use a whole tank in 200 kays or less - no dramas. My "record" was 120kms, but that was with dyno tuning:burnout:

About $55 $60 for a fill

BAAHA HA HA HA HA HA

Seiously though, it would be good to get a little more km's to a tank...

Im getting 350, sometimes I will push it to 400 (end of month) when funds are looowww....But I hate that.

About $60.00 to fill these days. BP Ultimate only though.

Well I have an R33 motor in my car but I have a considerably bigger tank cos its an R31... But, I have driven it from full down to 1/4 and only gone 124kms! (thrashing the shit out of it) on the other hand I have done the same thing and made 380kms.

Depends on the way you drive.

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
