I only get about 320km from a full tank in my R32 RB25DE. Would the best thing to check be the oxygen sensor ?

stock turbo/ecu with basic mods it really depends.

on the freeway between 9-11l/100km

on the open road with corners and hills about 13-14l/100km

in the city taking it easy around 15l/100km

in the city hooning about 20l/100km

so depends on driving really.

i hate it how people refer to how many kms per tank, because who knows what someone else means when they say a tank? do they mean 50L (when the light flashes) or do they mean a tank as in 65L

i always fill and reset odo then fill again and work out l/100km.

so assuming we refer to a tank as 50L i get anywhere between 250-500km per tank.

yeah, i wish for a 6th gear on the motorway. at 110/120 it's reving at about 3500rpm in 5th... not good.

ye 6th gear would be awesome

Go slower. Like 90 in 5th you'll save a bit more petrol and u wont get booked ever...

I'm with RyanN, when I fill up, the needle stays at past full for ages, maybe like 80-100kms before it decides to drop quickly very suddenly.

I avg 350kms cruising the suburbs. On holiday trips I get 400-430Km because of the long hwys (needle being just above Empty)

BTW I always reset my trip counter every time I fill up

i fillup every couple weeks usually by that time as soon i pull into the petrol station the light comes on while im waiting, once filled i reset the trip a soon as i get in the car. I dont know whats going on this week as i've used up a quarter already and i've only done about 60km, and thats driving like im driving miss daisy, sometimes i get good fuel economy (for my car atleast) some weeks i don't even though i drive the same, whats will the inconsistencies?!?!

In my series 2 GTST manual, i always get about 370-390kms per tank full. I am running on stock boost and exhaust. I don't really trash the car hard as well. I guess if u wanna get a skyline, you have to be prepared to splash out some money on petrol...

Bah, perfectly Nissan.

my 2 R33's and Stagea have all done the same thing.

[SKY031]

It's not a Nissan thing.....

it's a "car" thing.

How fuel gauges work B)

[**JaR**]

ah k. thanks for that.

i always wondered why it did that, i thought something was wrong with the gauge or something like that.

[GTRsean]

my 32GTR gets 470km out of a tank before the fuel ligh comes on. Driving smoothly most of the time and using 5th gear over 60km/h

These have a 72 litre tank so atm it costs around $90+ to fill er up on 98.

If I get up it it'll all be over in around 300k's.

Damn, the governments is getting rich off us!!
