hey people, im just wondering about how much kms people get per tank?

I currently have a 33gtst and can get about 350kms/55L ? give or take...

and i was wondering what other people are doing, because im interested in getting a zilla in the new future and i dont know how much fuel they go through on a easy day of driving... please help, also tell me about your mods and your driving style whether you are rough with gas or drive conservativly.... all skylines please!!!

ive got a 33 gts-t and i think my car is just badly tuned, but i get about 280-300 with a mixture of normal and boost driving, and bout 350 on normal diving only per tank

-Ruffels

also i would assume a gtr would have worse fuel consumption lol, couldnt tell you how much worse though

noticed u were off boostcruising aswell :rofl: hi mate!

hehe yer i use boost cruising and sau.... :rofl:

thanks, your fuel sounds about the same as mine..... i dont know if i shoudl get the gtr or just keep the 33... i love my tail out attitude of the gtst but the 32 will just get me so much more power........... saw your car on boost ruffls... very nice, your on your L's if memory serves me right? or P's? i was blown away :D

Yeah, i get a similar fuel economy to you. Ive got a FMIC, exhaust, pod & 10psi. I drive fairly easy around town, but give it a bit of a boost on weekends on more open roads. my fuel economy is decided on where i drive, puttering around town it uses heaps, but i get way more out of a tank if i do more freeway driving. i dont really have any acurate figures unfortionately, cos my fuel guage sticks all the time.

Before mods I was getting around 480ks for 50 lts after EMS, 4" zoorst, pod, FMIC, & more boost I'm getting 420ks to 50lts a new oxygen sensor improved it also in this time.

where would i go to get my O2 sensore checked out? auto elcectircian or mechanical?

and how much to replace?

thanks

There is a thread here that convinced me to change my O2 sensor without a check, basically I was using heaps of fuel and my rear was covered in black soot i changed it and no soot and better fuel use, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=43095 it goes into great detail have a read.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
