I am looking at upgrading to a R34 Skyline. What are typical fuel consumption values for R34 NA and R34 GTST?

Just before every jump the ban wagon I have done a search and couldn’t find anything relating to this topic.

I have manual a r33 GTS-T Stock as a rock & on average i get about 400km out of say 50L (65L tank)...seems to use about a qtr per 100-130km depending how you drive

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.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.

      Boost level and torque curve

      don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.

      Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.

      yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
