i am getting some really bad fuel economy lately have been pushing to get 320km be for 3/4 empty mark. with full town driving. not overly heavy right foot

Dude thats not actually that bad.

You'll find most R34's will get about 120km per 1/4 line on the gauge, and if you are doing that you are doing well.

So 3/4 you'd maybe expect 360 which is very good, and if you are getting 320, I'm pretty certain thats fine.

At your rate you are probably getting 12.5/13L per 100km.

i just filled mine up, R34 GTT manual.

So far its about half way down between the top and line below, and its done 105kms

nice... that's what 8-9L/100kms? All highway driving?

You should keep a petrol log though.. mine usually lasts a little longer on the first quarter than it does on the last two quarters, the lines are not really an accurate measure.

nope. mostly town driving howie. apart from just after i filled it up. i did a 20 minute stint on the highway. so its going alright. but yes the gauge is now dropping faster then before haha

on the drive home from picking the car up, my fuel consumption was great. I think I could have made brisbane to rocky on one tank. which is 700odd kms. Was extremely impressed with its highway consumption!

I have minor mods (filter, fmic, boost cont.) at the moment and im getting about 430kms before im in the red! Thats city and country driving on premium fuel. Pretty happy with that compared to other cars with similar power range!

Hi All,

Just wondering if the R34 Neo RB25DET fuel consumption is similiar to that of the R33 RB25DET? Better or Worse? just wondering if the VVT side of things made any difference? My r33 gtst was getting about 380-400kms tank (no thrashing mainly highway driving).

thanks.

I can get about 450 or so if I drive sedately with no AC. Mine is totally standard though. I have had closer to 500 on a freeway drive though. I was quite surpised at how efficient it is compared to my old GTR.

Found this somewhere, hope it helps

They look like factory quotes.

I dont know how factories come up with these figures, even with other non Nissan cars they seem grossly underestimated.

Sorry to revive an old thread but only just recently i bought my R34 GTT Auto.

I have a S14 SR20DET Manual also. I get around 500-600kms to a tank in the S14 and im pretty sure they have a 65L tank also. I have a few mods on this and running 10AFRS so quite rich lol.

By the sounds of it most u guys just fill up when the fuel light comes on, now i no it not the best to take the tank down to the last tiny bit of fuel left init but in my S14 i got an extra 70kms to a tank without it chugging or anythn when it hit the fuel light.

Are the pick ups on the stock R34 pumps high??

At the moment the fuel econmony im gettn in my R34 is a bit poo really. ONE BIG QUESTION I HAVE IS-

I try use tiptronic to use the revs more when taking off at lights etc... eg. Instead of having to put your foot into it more just in nrml auto mode i take it to bout 3,000rpm in 1st and 2nd gear with HEAPS less throttle and get to the same speed about the same time.

Has any1 seen a jump in better or worse doing this??????

THANKS

I have a BCNR33 RB26 in my GTT with the stock GTT pump... running leeeean and I hate it. I use 98 octane for fuel. I get about 290 on long, spirited drives on the highway. I can get around 380 on more conservative highway drives. When I get about 1/8 tank of gas the motor will start chugging and stall inbetween shifts so I have to lightly pop the clutch as I drive and give it a little gas to maintain idle at stop lights... yes, it sucks. Hopefully this problem will be fixed and I'll have better fuel consumption after I put in the Tomei 276 l/hr highflow pump next weekend :rofl:

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
