RB20DET, Stock turbo 15psi 164rwkw

City: 470km's per ~50litres. That is until the red light first shows.

Open Road: Not sure have never taken it on a full tank.

WOT: Booting it the RB20DET would drop fuel economy to low 400's per tank.

Driving style didn't appear to make much difference to fuel economy.

RB30DET - Stock rb20det turbo 176rwkw 9psi.

City: 450km's per 50litres.

Open Road: Again. Not sure.

WOT: Booting it the RB30DET drops to 380km's per tank.

I'm scared to start swapping out the stock injectors incase fuel economy goes to the sh*t. :D

Mind you Bl4ck32 has 550cc rx7 injectors thats all been tuned up, his rb30det in his r32 tends to get slightly better fuel economy than mine.

ive found a trend in my car. it's basically always KMs/10 + 10 = Litres of fuel

so 350kms = 45L filled up

400km = 50L filled up ... and so on

my 33's usage was similar

so far ive only had one tank which was used for pure thrashing and i did about 250km in 55Ls :D

freeway driving is typically a lot better than the formula above.. the other day after filling up, i drove 130kms. then i pulled over and filled it up again, and i only put in 16Ls..

edit: i just realised that the above does not apply to u as i have an rb25det in my 32.. lol sorry.

Hiya,

I've got an R32 GTS-t manual and I get roughly 380-400km out of the tank of regular city/suburban driving.

just did a drive up to Sydney and back a few weeks ago before that dreaded fuel increase and estimated with general cruising averaging 115-120km/h I could get around 600km to the tank.

Mind you though the car's running an aftermarket replacement ECU and it doesn't run an airflow metre anymore so I was expecting it to drink more than that... :)

Fuel tanks get a build up of crap over the years. A friend of mine had a vl turbo that used to run really rough whenever the fuel gauge went below 1/4. Thats the worst I've ever seen.

You could fix it by taking the fuel tank out and cleaning it out, but that is just sooooo much effort, much easier to just keep a nice amount of fuel in there. :)

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
