Install a wideband o2 and see what your car is doing. I've seen lazy tuners who don't even care too much about off boost injection maps and just rely purely on o2 closed loop to work out the mixtures.

The thing is you could be hitting stoich no worries but retarded timing will need larger throttle openings, hence worse consumption. its not enough to have a stoich ratio.

Had my worked R34 GTT retuned and still only get 250km to the tank... thinking of changing ECU from Power FC to get better fuel economy. Pretty sure the Rb25 is meant to be the most fuel efficient 6 cyl produced...

I ran a PowerFC on my old R33, consistently got 430~450km and would do easily 550+ km on the highway.

I had it ran in closed loop, used the narrowband simulation of an Innovate LC-1 and had a bit more timing in cruise than the stock map (cruise area that is).

That's terrible economy. I would be questioning the tuner on that one,unless you drive like a mental case everywhere.

Where did you hear that the rb is the most efficient 6 cylinder? That doesn't sound right!

My economy improved after full exhaust, FMIC and Nistune with a proper dyno tune - go figure.

Also 'kms to a tank' is not a realiable measure of economy, I always recommend calculating l/100km, it's easy enough to do.

For some 'over time' averages check this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/436056-fuel-economy-for-250rwkw/

How many litres are you calling a tank? My current car has a 50l tank and the needle is nearly on empty after 30l of fuel used.

That's an understatement. In these kinds of threads, its not uncommon to see claims of >25L/100kms based on the "x kms to a tank" lingo. Which is around the consumption of turbo bentleys, v12 lambos and ferraris.

Haha, indeed. That said, my previous V8 actually drank 25 l/100km in stop-start around town, now that's economy...

I recently bought a R33 GTST which is stock. I get about 250kms on 3/4 tank (roughly 40L). I dont actually wait for the light as I dont know how far the car will go haha...

edit: roughly

    • Sell it and buy something newer? 😛
    • Better then PooPooG... or is it PeePeeG? 
    • The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan. 
    • I might have to say it.
    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
