I got 465km or 13.97lt/100kms from a full tank in my R32 GTR but reckon I would get close to 500kms if I didn't gas it towards the end.

This was mostly from easy driving and a couple of spirited ones, my usual style. I find that driving from a full tank gets me better economy than 1/2 or 1/4.

Comparatively speaking with stock GTRs, would the R34 do better?

i have a BNR34: all the standard mods 280rwkw

i get a monthly petrol consumption report every month as i have a company petrol card it shows that i use around $60.00 (full tank) every 2 to 3 days and everytime i fill up i have to give'em the km's and i'm getting on average 300km per tank.

any idea when you got it stock?

96 33 GTS-T - performance mods are only pod filter, exhaust.

Was getting 350klm per fill up (about 50 ltrs) - did a full service, sensors cleaned etc - now it does on average 10.5 ltrs per 100kms

Got the major service coming up sometime this year. Hopefully mine will be like yours too!

Maybe everyone should post up L/100km or km/L instead of full tank. Better way of comparison.

I think going by full tank might be a better representative of the car's overall fuel economy since it will weigh differently when full,1/2 or 1/4 empty.

I am much happier with the consumption I'm getting considering its a GTR though I do miss 500-600km that I got from NA cars.

if a car is a daily there are a number of things that change

at my old house i lived further from work and the car would get more cruising than stop start...

now, its the other way around...

the difference is nearl 100km per tank (i also now live 4 mins from work and the thing is not even up to temp a lot of the time)

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
