lol 300rwkw and a heavy right foot has its drawbacks :D

i get 220km to 3/4 tank, so i'd say 300 to a tank

lol terrible... i have about the same power as you and last tank got 420km.

Before the tune it was doing about 500km per tank, so extra 100kw in the tune and only lost 80km per tank, pretty good.

Averaging 13L/100km over the last 20000kms, track days excluded from calculation.

Babying it day to day though. I can get about 420km per tank before the light comes on. I'm trying my heart out to hit the 500km mark in daily driving without the help of going on long trips via the highway.

Used to get 14-15/100km when I first got the car and it was completely stock except for cat back exhaust. Have to admit that I was in new toy mode though.

yeah mine fails hard cause of stop start driving and the cold start being on for like 50% of the time :D

at my old house it was about the same as yours... and on cruises i get the same as most people with similar power

I get about 400-450 stop start driving.. 500-550 on long trips

cruising around the trip shows around 12L/100KM and cruising on the freeway gets down to about 10 L/100KM

Not to bad for an old RB30E manual :D

Yea... you'd want to get that tune if you're driving a lot. Hahaha. I got 450-500 per tank easy before the tune and after its still 450. But having said that, if I feel like letting it loose a little, it'll drop to 350-400. Still good consumption imo.

Usually between 12.5 to 14.5L/100km

Mods are:

3" turbo back exhuast with high flow CAT

POD

R34 GTT SMIC

Bleed valve set at 10PSI

SAFC-2

Made ~180rwkw when I got it tuned.

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

Agreed. Tank is pretty useless because everyone fills up at a different point.

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.

Nah, not when the term full tank can mean 50 litres or 55 litres!

Best thing to do is fill a tank until full (petrol pump click), reset the trip meter to zero...when the tank is near empty again go fill up at the servo and take note of how many litres it took to fill. Then divide your litres by your km traveled and multiply by 100 for a litres/100km figure.

340awkw i get 200km/tank flat.. no boost..

Shouldnt the car run like a normal car when its not on boost (consumption wise)? That sucks. And thats at 340awkw... I'm curious whats the consumption like for those 1000hp cars... hahaha.

That's what I mean.

    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
    • keep an extinguisher nearby? or even better, take it out of the car to charge?
