Just curious as to what sort of fuel economy people are getting out of their GTRs.....

I know this is pretty obvious but think the most accurate way to test is -

*Fill your car and reset the trip meter...

*Drive xxx kms....

*Fill up again noting how many litres it took

*Divide kms travelled by litres taken to fill this time around.

I did this with mine tonight, I travelled 351kms this week and it took 47.5 litres of fuel...giving roughly 7.4kms per litre...thats mostly commuting to and fro work in traffic with the occassional squirt...not as bad as I thought it was going to be considering mods.

I read a review once of a stock 33 GTR V-Spec which was regularly returning 10kms per litre!

Seems pretty low, I think you may be calculating wrong.

eg. Should be 47.5/351 x 100 = 13.53Lt/100km, which to me sounds right. Still not bad

Try using this to make it easier:

Before i close... I can get to around 450-500km/s to a tank putting around, over 600 on the freeway, 280rwkw/RB26.

That's with around 45-50litres. 7.5 is terrible even for stop/start.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
