Hey guys

My car has always used 13-13.5 litres of fule per 100K's in city driving. It is frustrating because it dosent matter if i drive like a granny or give it a bit of stik i get the same consumption.

This hasnt really bothered me much untill now as the price of fule means $20 is like 120-130K's.

The wierd thing is i just got back from a 400km round trip and i was amazed to see my consumption on the highway was like 10-10.5 litres per 100K's.

Could it be that my car is running to ritch that is why with lots of stop start driving i get shoddy consumption?

Oh yeah car specs is 3" exhaust, fmic, bigger turbo, 1 bar boost(not that boost maters much sice granny driving has no effect) pod, remaped computer, z32 afm, ebc.

Any insight or suggestions on how to bring city driving consumption down or if this is usual behaviour.

Thanks

fuel.....????

It could be that you are driving a sports car and cant compare it to a mirage or getz!!!! Its a pretty small engine in a largish car with not the best aerodynamics, 14 litres per hundred can be improved on but its not terribly bad

thats nothing to complaign about mate, i got a 2.4ltre atmo motor thats going through 17ltres per 100km... and im a freaking pizza boy!

of course its gonna drop on the highway. lol

you're sitting at like 100-110km/h for long periods of time. the revs dont change...they stay steady

stop start city driving, even grandma style, the revs are constantly up and down, which means you'll use more fuel.

hey mate,

your getting okish figures there for those mods atm. the nissan manual states avg fuel consumption on a rb20de/t r32 should be about 12l/100km. my r32 gets about 13.5l/100km in city driving too.

youre just noticing it more because fuel prices really suck now (and prob are gonna stay that way from now on)

Edited by flagger

yeah.. they suck it around the city, as you tend to be on boost a fair bit to get enough power to drive about, accelerate from the lights etc. So mine is around same.. Highway its down to about 10L/100km which is pretty good for a 6cylinder.. so really - unless you drive all country, just deal :(

i have changed o2 sensor, etc but still fairly high.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
