NM35 VQ25DET

Factory ECU/Turbo etc.

Only mods: Aftermarket exhaust muffler, Blitz Panel filter and 'power duct'. New plugs etc.

Update to fuel economy:

Lowest to date: 9.54L/100K (Driving to Adelaide)

Highest to date: 15.20L/100K (repeatedly driving to work during peak hour damn it)

Most K's to a tank (or close to) 683

Avg economy 11.5L/100K

:thumbsup:

That's pretty good economy!

Haven't posted in here for a while, but reset my economy screen and travel info screen 2 and a bit weeks ago.

Over the past 1300kms, average fuel is now 9.9km/L and average speed is 52kph

What sort of driving do you do for that kind of economy?

cam lives in the wild...so its lots of freeway driving for him ;p

Fair bit of hwy (about 80% of my daily trip), but as it is my day-to-day drive I also have school zones and have to go up/down/up/down the Mt Eliza hills (let alone battle the shit drivers that seem to live there).... but also a fair bit of driving in the Frankston area.

lol @ "in the wild" Jethro.

Wouldn't have it any other way, although I do seem to get a lot more speeding fines :/

I've noticed since buying the car that the economy has been getting worse and worse!

Started off around 450-500 a tank (driving from Melbourne to Sydney)

Then it was hovering around the 350km mark, and now this tank is looking to be around the 200km mark!

I haven't driven much different since, I give it a bit of a boot from time to time but if anything I've been babying it with this tank.

all it has is an airfilter and nismo option exhaust, boost is stock.

I've ordered an 02 sensor in hopes that it's the problem, but knowing my luck it won't be.

Any ideas?

if it isnt your 02, it may also be your Air flow meter..

VQ25DET

e85 tune is giving me 350km to the tank.. and its supposedly still running rich as f**k :)

How many liters mate, is that 60? 70? 79.9? :P

well last night i filled up i think 68-70 Litres, and it was at 315km..

so assuming theres another 10litres and about 15 to 30kms in it..

lol sorry didnt mention that..

being on Flex, i dont usually let it get to the light.. as its not "around the corner"

but as its running rich.. once i fix the boost issue and get a controller on there.. i think i should get atleast 400km ot of it :)

better than having 250km on 98 like i was pre tune lol

Man.. your economy sux.. :P

At the moment I can get 14.2L/100km (460km) with about 10 liters left in the tank on crappy stop start city driving. Usually get around 10.2L on the open road.

mines on eflex.. and also tuned with heaps of mods.

lol.

i'de rather get 350km compared to 450km

with 285 kw compared to 160kw lol

Please quote your usage in litres per hundred km as km per tank is too imprecise! (But something is very wrong)...What car do you have (C34? S1 , S2? VQ?)

Sorry,

Looks to be around the 19-20L/100km and beyond :(

I have a C34 Series 1.

Apparently the coolant temp sensor can effect fuel consumption too, anyone had this issue before?

hmm I'm getting 18L p/100km on LPG...have to refuel every 200km :yucky:

But its not all bad...with 250awkw and paying $20 to fill up the LPG I cant complain too much :glare:

That is rubbish economy mate, what do you get if you do the same driving on 98 (I believe you have a switch so you can manually select the fuel you are using, yes?)

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
