For anyone that might be trying to decide between a NA R34 and GTT...

GET THE GT-T!! Seriously the extra cost in fuel is worth it for the much much better performance.

Its just another cost. Imports cost more to insure. Its just part of the cost of owning a great car.

Please dont get me wrong, I'm not saying that fuel cost shouldn't be considered.

Just factor it into the cost of the purchase price of the car, and get the turbo. You'll thank yourself later.

r34 gtt auto, i get roughly 410km out of tank, and thats if i drive like im 'driving miss daisy'...

go the turbo though as you will most likely end up in the na performance thread asking about turbo conversions, i know i did with my NA supra :no:

i shift around 2800 to 3000, with a little slightly hard acceleration sometimes, entering freeways, etc... and get about 12.5 - 13L/ 100km's from my 34 GT-T (manual, coupe)

i thought i shifted quite early, but i'm trying to shift at 2K and see if that makes any noticable difference on consumption.

SydneyKid reckons that the Shell 100 RON petrol (with ethanol) is even better than Ultimate... might give that a go. Although, i don't think he claimed it was any better economy though.

i've got a stock r34 gtt, use bp ultimate and drive sensibly most of the time:

450-475km's/tank. like a couple of guys from this thread although the vehicle guide says that r34's got 65 litres of fuel i've never filled up more than 60L.

how long should i get with my fuel light on it seems to come on at around 1/8th of a tank left i have slowly been pushing the limits of how low it will go but i dont want to be running it empty

oh and i get around 350--->>>400 km per tank if depending on the driving style (and how low I let it go)

and sorry for the hi jack but will getting a bigger turbo reduce fuel economy or is that more depending on if im on boost

it seems that you have turbo fuel figures but no NA fuel consumption figures so I'll add mine.

I've been getting 620+ Km's from my last 3-4 tanks and filling up with 58-59L each re-fill.

Km's travelled with the fuel light on ~ 110-120Km's.

The R34 is a great car to upgrade too but search and read through these forums more for extra info on them. One persons suggestion doesn't cover everyones needs/requirements.

    • Nah, just take the other one off too 
    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
