Just incase you guys wanted to know how fuel efficient a 600kw gtr is on the street. i did a simple test. fueled it up then cruised it around town till it was nearly empty. i think i could of reach 190km's if i waited for the fuel light to come on.

shit and i thort mine was bad for getting 250 kms.

i think i should stop complaining now lol

its about 25litres per 100km's so its quite good. a mercedes ml63 or bmw x6 tt is the same.

Makes a strong argument for running a water/meth injection setup and normal bp98. Though for a 600kw toy fuel economy doesnt really enter into it. I know someone that uses mixed BP98/Martini race fuel mix in his 600kw street car. You can't put a price tag on fun if you have a surplus income.

Small update : Powertune re-tuned the car yesterday. It started at 602kw then kept floating around 630kw except the car felt like it kept making more than what it was showing on the dyno, so the only other option was to take it for a power run down at JEM. Adam and the Powertune boys got the car strapped down on JEM's Mainline dyno and gave it 2 runs that showed 703kw both times.

I will run the car down the track again soon.

As you said you cruised it, and it's a turbo car, you really should be able to get better then standard fuel economy. While cruising it, you're making the motor make the same power as a stocker cruised... This should use the same fuel as a stocker. I'd be having serious talks with the tuner. If you cruise it too much I see washed bores occurring...

errr.... the word cruising in my terms is cracking gate a more than a few times hitting 9000rpm.

the car is still in the early development stages so yes it will eventually be wound up again.

lol

That's not cruising around town.

Cruising around town would be sedate driving not unleashing 600kw on.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
