Hi guys,

Looking at getting a stagea as a daily to drive to and from work and perfrom daily duties. Just wondering what the tank size is and how many km's people are getting out of a tank. Looking at s1 at this stage. I'm pretty sure the tank size is 68l according to buyers guide but some sellers are saying its a 50l tank???

Thanks

Matt

im series 2, 400-430ks a tank. thants with a exhaust system, running 10psi, and no over drive in my gearbox (stage 2 rebuild)

so its still going pretty well.

dont plant it and the fuel should stay there, that said daily duties could be alot of things. if you load them up full and car now weights close to 2t the fuel wont be the same.

C34 (series 1 & 2) - tank is 68L (around 58L when the light comes on). average is 400km to a tank for s1, maybe less? 450km to a tank for s2. 10.7L/100km on the highway, avg around 13-14L/100km in the city.

M35 - tank is 78L. (light comes on around 60-65L) average 450-500km to a tank. 9.5L/100km on the highway, 12-14L/100km in the city.

You can improve the economy with an aftermarket piggyback ecu, I was getting 11-12L/100km in adelaide with my old s2. Thats with a 3" exhaust, larger turbo (more time off boost), and apexi safc. It had 160awkw at the time.

Also remember they need premium fuel. So they are not the cheapest wagon to run around in. Insurance is also more expensive than aussie cars. However most of us agree the luxury and performance/handling aspects generally outweigh the cost.

hi mate i just bought a 260rs put 60l in without light on so i'm guessing 68l in total, 460 to the tank 1/2 city 1/2 freeway normal driving giving it a squirt every now and then was very impressed with it as my v6 commodore used way more and had heaps less power .

I thought it was a 65L tank.. with 320awhp and a tired auto I get ~400km/tank city driving with a bit of highway and if it's all highway (driving down south or something) it's nearly 600km/tank.

P.S. That's a series 2 with a hiflow, 550cc injectors to go in soon so with some more boost will probably be a bit thirstier :thumbsup:

hey guys thanks for all the help. From what I'm reading they are no where near as fuel hungry as I thought. I was looking at this stagea in particular but the seller says he gets 300-350 in traffic, seems low for a fairly stock car???

I think this one only because it has the leather and dual sunroofs. A couple of guys have pm'd me about selling there cars but I cant reply as I dont have enough posts so my email is [email protected]. Feel free to add me on msn or email me any offers of cars for sale.

Thanks for all the help

I have dual sunroofs, all the basic mods covered, all the maintenance items covered, awesome audio setup, MSN in my profile, mobile number in my sale thread.

buy, add ECU, add high flow = win

or buy another, and spend 7-10k on mods and maintenance items

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
