my car is a r31 ti skyline and iam not sure about somthing atm its running at 11.1lts to the 100km and i can do 535km till the tank is empty. that info is all from the on bored computer and was worndaing does that sound right

thinks :(

As I don't own an R31 Ti, this cant be specific, but!

In my collection I have a U12 Pintara Ti auto and that returns about the same as your R31 and it is a KA24E.

My old MX83 Cressida returned the best figures I could get, on highway cruising was 12L/100 and about 15/100 around town.

These 2 cars are similar in weight but the R31 has less HP as in 114Kw Vs 142Kw.

My latest Cressida on a recent trip to Melbourne, returned 10.5L/100 for 2011 Km and just got back from the Gold Coast and for 2312 Km returned 11.33L/100, so for over 4000K I got 10.9L/100 on average.

I think this is brilliant considering the cars are their respective top of the tree luxury versions, complete with all the trimmings & fruit salad.

I am though, questioning your computers calculation of 535k which tells me it says it only has 50L in the tank which is incorrect. I would guess it would have between 60 & 70L

Cheers, D

Your fuel consumption sounds about right. I have a Ti as well as a couple of others :happy:

The average consumption in traffic should be around 12 or 12.5, and on a trip should vary from 9.8 to 11.5. So you are right on the ball. The fuel tank is 65 litres, but the trip computer only takes into account around 50-55, so even your trip computer is right, because it has a 10 litre reserve.

Your trip computer has a hidden function as well. If you press the hour and the minute buttons together, it will tell you how many litres are left in the tank. This is very accurate, and will help better with distance to empty, taking into account all the fuel instead of just what the trip computer thinks it has.

So all in all, your trip computer is working accurately (the way it was intended anyway), and your fuel consumption is on the money.

i had an R31 sil with the 5spd manual and i used to get 8.9-9l/100k for long distance and around 9-10.5l/100k in and around the city and i used to get ~700k per tank {well 698ish} and even my GXE3 got similar figures.. try cleaning air filter and maybe new plugs and stuff cause my sil used to go heaps better afterdoing that.. lol that poor car ran the same oil for 1 year and a half :P over 30000ks but it still kept going hard they are wicked cars.. ive recently bought a WGNC34 Stagea cant wait to take that on a run up to cairns

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
