this has been covered 1000's of times but since we are here here is the fuel usage from my last couple of tanks:

465km from 56.88L --> 12.16 L/100km

423km from 52.97L --> 12.52 L/100km

I have had as high as 17 L/100km for a track day and lowest was around 11.5 L/100km when they were all highway kms. Average is around 12.6 L/100km.

On Optimax, 1995 R33 GTST with turbo back exhaust and pod filter thats it. To measure the fuel consumption I set the odometer to zero when I fill the tank then measure how much fuel it takes when I next fill up.

all i know is that i get 240km on a full tank of premium from my er34 auto, how do people get 400-450 on a tank? better/regular tuning? regular maintance? driving like your driving miss daisy?

holy shit

do u thrash the car at every traffic light?

:P

Quoting a useable fuel range doesn't give a measure of consumption or economy (depends how you calculate fuel use). JCMarshall_Law has the only reliable method for establishing fuel consumption, and it is the one I follow also.

General use I experience is 8.4-9.0 km/l, with a best of 9.4km/l, and worst 5.5km/l. Stock boost, FMIC, full 3" exhaust with split dump.

I don't drive like Miss Daisy, but do try to maximise the number of km between fills I enjoy behind the wheel.

cheers

nope im extremely sensible in my skyline :innocent: , really. i drive noramally since the fuel economy is so bad, also after the FMIC mod i did, the fuel usage has increased slightly. Im going to have to take it to get i tuned and checked out, seems to have quite a loud rattling sound coming from the right cam cover....... :werd:

I've check the spark plugs there fine however like most r34 my coil packs are on the way out so maybe a new set might fix the problem. The exhaust gas smells extremely rich, can nissan dealerships be trusted for a tune with the rb25det motor?

I get about 300-360 km per tank. So far I have replaced the O2 sensor, cleaned the injectors, put a pod filter, adjusted teh timing, regapped the spark plugs to .95. After regapping the plugs the economy is worse. I m thinking i should put it back to .8. If that does not work, i m out of ideas for the economy.

Actually I have a bleed valve sitting at about 9 psi. I know that 25DET goes into rich and retarded mode. But does it do that when you are off high boost as well, ie does it run rich ALL the time after sensing high boost?

Guys your cars all sound f**ked.

Stock my car was getting 400-450km.

With mods (240rwkw, 16psi) I get just under 400km before I refill. My last tank (freak tank) got me 460km!

Generally if I give it a lot of thrash I'll get just over 350km. Anything under 300 with normal driving and I'd be sure somethings wrong.

ive got a r32 with a rb25det also .. running 9 psi making 260 rwhp and using safc 2 to manage my fuel and air. It been tuned and im getting around 250k's on city driving.. i am suspicion of my diff gearing though.. it feels very low... but surely it couldnt be causing such a big difference in economy.

Mate,

I feel your pain, I got an er34 gtt too, but manual. If im lucky i go through around 300+ on a full tank.... Im not sure if this is a common problem with the 34's.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
