I catch the train to work, so my only drives are on the weekend for fun, and some errands during the week

Two cars would just be silly

Guess the beamer's gotta go then

On a side note, I never appreciated my car more than when I had Alvin's auto as a daily driver. Daily and weekender is the way to go. You try to combine both and you're taking your compromise work chariot out for weekends = not the same.

f**k that combine all the way.

And by combine, i mean be a man and deal with the uncomfortableness.

I had 6/8 coils slammed and wound all the way up, solid bushes and mounts, bride bucket that was on the floor with high bolster than squashed my balls, 330mm wheel with a 50mm spacer, a tripple heavy duty single playe button clutch and nismo diff.

I LOVED driving that thing as a daily. The ONLY drawback was police attention. The way it handled made even a short drive at the speed limit fun.

Yeah I thought up to 30% less would be pretty normal, but the problem was I was only getting 300-350kms to a full tank on a standard ecu with 100 octane, wasn't very impressed with that.

well the stock tune is overly rich and that's really all you will get from anything other than highway driving anyway

Birds I know E85 wasn't made for Economy, but what kind of mileage are you getting around town for a full tank?

I'm not the best example for economy simply because I race a lot / enjoy my car, and 80km/h is 4th gear territory for me (always like to have power on tap).

So with that said, my daily driving is 17-18L/100km on E85. I fill up with about 52 litres (~$60 thanks to United's rip off pricing now) and that's usually just shy of 300km.

Mind you, my fuel economy before that wasn't fantastic...about 400km to a tank on 98, with a pretty rich tune. I used to get 450 on the standard ECU with fresh O2 sensors.

Have you changed them in your car? They make a hell of a difference if they are worn and you're running a closed loop tune.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
