hi all,

i'm new to skyline cars and i'm thinking of buying an R32 class, either gt-t or gts-t, but not gt-r.

maybe it has been discussed before in this forum. so i'm sorry if i ask the same thing again. i was just wondering about R32 fuel consumption. how much fuel does it consume say if i just drive it normally with low boost. for everyday driving i mean.

thanks before for any replies. :P

hey, I can get about 450 - 500ks to a tank with just normal driving.. well it was hwy driving. Full tank costs me about $80-90+ depending on petrol prices, and thats for premium.

So I guess its not TOO bad. I'm running 12psi too. But start driving it hard thats when you'll just chew through the petrol.

On my last full tank i got 420km when the fuel light came on (normal driving, not a lot of highway driving) with BP Ultimate.

My car is a 92' model GTS-t, with a cat-back exhaust and high-flow panel filter - so it's fairly stock. Haven't yet tested its highway economy :O

Im only getting 270km~ and thats driving mon-fri in peak hour traffic. Although you can strongly smell premium at the back of the car. Running rich no doubt, will replace sparkplugs and clean afm to see if any changes occur

mods: apexi catback and apexi filter

hey guys , just thought of sharing infos , i get around 400kms per tank for bp ultimate and roughly 450kms per tank with shell, and thats just normal driving i thought earlier my fuel consumption was high, because i heard some doing 500+ looks like its pretty average

    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
    • Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
    • Hopefully not, since he knows the fuses work ha ha ha
    • I don't think he's got it on a gauge and on the ECU. I think he's got it on the gauge and on the HPTuners DAq thingo. Remember, we're talking about oil temp here, not something that the ECU is actually interested in for its own sake.
