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.

must be an r34 thing, i just cant believe it, my VR SS 5ltr did about 350km per tank making the 2.5ltr turbo worst - basically i drive about 15km to work every morning of straight no stopping highway travel, i just dont get it.

Eventually i will replace the coilpacks and see if that makes a difference since r34 are known for there coilpack failures.

let me know if this works, cause i've only had my car for under 1 month and i must admitt that i have been giving the car the lead foot however i did own an r33 in the past and in comparison, the r34 does 100km less then the r33

I got an R34 GTT in auto as well... usually only get about 350kms out of a full tank.

There is another thread about installing the SAFC which will kick it up to 600? Surely this would remove performance?

If any of you two have good solutions, please let me know as well...

There is this one item on ebay for $30 which claims to increase fuel economy, just looks like a hose clamp to me - maybe that's the go?

hey

im also curious, as im in the market for a skyline but want a fairly decent fuel usage

how many km's would an R33 GTS (1993) get per tank? (Non-Turbo)

do you run that car on premium unleaded or regular unleaded?

thanks

I've owned 4 R33 GTSts and one R34 GT, all with RB25DET engines and no big turbos/fuel pumps. All cars use/d approx. 9.8l/100km on a combination of surburban traffic/motorway/highway. On a trip ie highway usually around 9.2l/100km.

Trackday - 25l/100km.

Mate,

I'd love to run in those specs, how was your driving habit though. Does these specs refer to staying off boost, changing gears within 2-3k revs. I think i might have to try not giving the car my fat foot, it seems that i get around 15-17ltrs per 100km. If anyone has any other ideas, please pm me...

:confused:

Hey disturb3d,

do you have a stock skyline or have you modified it a bit?

because what bonkers has for his skyline seems to be the norm for those engines and models.

what fuel do you use bonkers in your skyline/s?

thanks

Its slightly modded, 3inch turbo back exhaust, pod airfilter, boost controller,speed delimiter, and thats about it. if the prob is with my 02 sensor, then i would replace the thing for sure

    • 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
