R32 Line

Yeah, don't worry guys - i won't be pulling out bits of the car left right and centre, it's going to the mechanic. Already have a good mechanic too - they have done plenty of good work on my previos car (a lot of times for free) and have seen the GTST a couple of times, although not in relation to this problem. I just wanted to get an idea of what may be wrong with it before i go. I thought the fuel consumption was pretty bad myself, but as i said in my original post most of the threads on fuel consuption dont actually give a good idea of what it should be just the fact not too expect anything too high. I really wouldn't have bought a skyline if i was expecting to get 100kms for 5 litres of fuel, and would you beleive that this car actully has a better fuel consumption than my prevoius car (a very old E30 with a bucket of mods). Anyway i'm now 100% sure of the fact that my fuel consumption sucks compared to everyone else here. WazR32GTSt - thankyou for the straight forward advice, it is much appreciated. I'm not that mechanically inept by the way. It's just that both Japanese and turbo cars are a different direction from what i'm used too.

Thanks for all the replys everyone. The R32 i bought and had shipped from Japan definitely has the worst fuel consumption ratio i have seen in any car, seriously at the moment it gets 200kms from a tank - if i am lucky. It works out under 4km s per litre!! Would've been better off buying a 4wd like everyone else in the Eastern Suburbs. Seriously though i will be getting the car checked tommorow and will post up the results for those interested.

Thanks Grant - will get that checked up on asap.

Hi All, am new to this having only just bought an R32 gtst - import approval the week before the 15 yr old rule was canned. I have a couple of simple questions (and please take it easy on me - i have searched the forums but can't find a specific answer to this) The electric fan on the front of the radiator - is this for the airco? should it actually be working when the car is on but the airco is off? or am i on the completely wrong track here? I'm also only getting about 200kms out of a full tank, that's $60 bucks worth of petrol every time - i have read in plenty of topics not to expect great fuel consuption but this just seems way too low even for a Skyline, any ideas? I do not have a habbit of flooring the car at every opportunity, just day to day driving. By the way, the car is only slightly modified - still retains standard turbo & intercooler and has not been tuned since it arrived here. Thanks for any help
