I put in $40 last week on wednesday, and i have gotten 320kms out of the tank and i have just under a 1/4 of it left, giving it a thrashing maybe 5times odd a day...

Pretty good, considering i only put unleaded in too... Then again im NA

However i used to only get 220-230kms MAX out of a tank when running premium, until i changed my o2 sensor.

I found Shell Optimax gives better economy then BP Ultimate does. I'm happily using that now, it's right next to where i work so it's convenient too.

are you serious i am the opposite i cant stand opticrapz was crap in the pulsar and crap in the skyline... my cars just dont seem to like the stuff.

I didn't notice any difference. It used to make the exhaust smell but it doesn't anymore. I've heard people say that BP Ultimate and Optimax often comes from the same refinery and they just put in different additives. Either way, i'm not having any problems with it

i found that both cars got around about 20 - 40 kms less with similar driving with both ultimate and opticrapz. Also it may just be in my head by the skyline also doesnt feel as though it has as much power with opticrapz could just be me and probably is but meh i go with what makes me and the car happy :(

I've been using Caltex 98 ron Vortex since they installed the new pumps at Calwell servo. I always used Ultimate before, and to be honest I can't notice any difference.

yea thats pretty good i generally get about 410 - 430 off of 48 - 53 litres and i am happy with that. also yes that does mean you have another 10L's left. I can drive around with the orange light on for a good 50 - 60kms and still only be at 55 - 58L

lol either

1 - you are not running it low enough how many L's do you normally put in stevie.

2 - your fuel level gauge may be broken. I am not sure exactly which light it is on the cluster but its one of the ones on the left hand side. just go look during the day and you will know which one should light up

Should be near the "E" of the gauge, just out of the sweep of the needle

I think something is wrong with my car, i'm only getting 360km out of a 60L tank. still the same RB25, and yes my car is slightly heavier with AWD, but i'm not impressed with this figure.

Well i've run it down pretty low! I bet the warning light has just blown or something pathetic like that. I want a warning light!

I usually put in about 50. And thats when the gauge is reading very empty. I know its a 60L tank so maybe my gauge is reading it empty ten litres to early??? I dont know...

Term, I've found out that my Stagea goes through the petrol with short trips and city driving. But on the highway it's fine.

I think it's cause of the auto box and short trips when cold (cold = rich).

I wonder if you could put gas on one of these.. lol

    • Yeah i get what you mean. Mine thought i wouldnt mind being a bit quieter overall as well as have the drone taken out is more what i was trying to say. Im going to start with a mid muffler, and go from there 
    • I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.
    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
