Skyline driving on long trips

[fLipKnot]

Hi guys,

I am not sure if this topic has been covered before. I'm just wondering how's the skyline on long trips on the freeway like from Melbourne - Sydney and Sydney - brisbane...Does the skyline feel stable still or getting shaky?

At 110km/h, how high does it rev and how's the fuel consumption like? I know the fuel consumption thread has been covered before, please dont flame me...thanks for your help.

Cheers

what model r we talking about here? ? ?

[**JaR**]

actually i also wouldnt mind hearing answers 2 that coz im goin from melbourne-sydney at end of the yr for a week and im drivin my R33 gts-t up there.

btw fuel consumption is always gonna be high, i already know that part

well yesterday i finished a SyD-Snowy-Syd trip yesterday

R32 GTR

@ 110-120 it sits under 4000 rpm in 5th gear id say around 3700ish rpm

fuel consumption isnt that bad on my car as it is tuned with power FC

and i do around 550kms per tank which is a lot. for my car

all in all i filled up 3times and i still have more than half a tank of fuel left.

during this whole trip i covered over a 1000kays

I have had 600 km's to a tank in my R33 GTS-T driving to Queensland

I guess i'm more interested in the R33 GTSTs but all other models are more than welcome to post..=)

Blitz, your fuel consumption is excellent!!...

so guys, 5th gear at 110 normally sits above 3000rpms??

my r33 gtst from syd to Bris vagis was shit lots of fuel, but i dont think i have standard injectors and only other normal mods, i got about 350 maybe 400 ks to a tank of bp, was sitting in 5 th 120 3,700 rpm

i do a lot of long distance trips in my r33 gtst, its about 3000rpm at 110km/h and i'm about the same as blitz around 600kms per tank....although mine is pretty stock, just pod and exhaust

Nice smooth ride, although once again stock shocks probably help

stock shocks would make it a nice ride, as i have got olims and they are as hard as all shit

Just wondering with the exhaust on, is it very very noisy that it unbearable?

[**JaR**]

nah, just turn the sound system up

i just came back from sydney yesterday. Was a nice trip got 650-700km/ tank (r33 non turbo) car is a bit shaky when you get over 120km/hr and is a bit noisy but on the whole quite comfortable. But there's this rattle in the interior just to the right of the windscreen (in a panel) shitted me up the wall.

skylines love long drives, they feel much more at home on the freeway/hills than puttering around town. mine has a fairly noisy exhaust but the 33s have a lot of sound deadening so its no problem. i can honestly say its the best car ive ever owned for open road driving, no shortage of power on the steep hills either

[fLipKnot]

let's say with just mods like FMIC, Pod, FULL exhaust system, AVC-r, are those enough to give me 200rwkw? or what do i need to achieve that?

[justin911]

if you have those mods and a safc2 or powerfc etc.. you'll get 190kw-200kw.

In my R32 GTR I managed 660km's / tank driving from Melbourne to Bowral - probably would have made it further if it was not for those damn hills at the end of the trip. Was specifically trying to make it on one tank so I was watching my throttle sitting on 100 all the way. Pretty good considering my o2 sensors are probably nearing the end of their life.
