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:

    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
