Try writing in English and measure your fuel consumption in litres per 100km.

I'll get less than 200 ks out of a full tank and that's not even driving it hard

Take the coils out and give them a good clean and spray or wrap them with insulating material. Unless the plugs look new replace them and gap down to 0.8mm. Replace air filter clean AFM and if you have the means check timing. After that if you have a friendly workshop get them to check your AFRs.

^^^ what he said, kms per tank is useless.

I'm getting around 16l/100km and 11 on the freeway at 275 rwkw.

Check your O2 sensor they're known to cause high fuel consumption if buggered. Kudos sell new ones.

That's my line. Transpose with Evo ofcoars

 

If fuel economy is your thing......I think a moped or a Prius is more befitting!!!

Efficiency is a different animal.  I get 9.6 litres/100km on a trip at 300rwkw.  That was measured twice, once to the GC and back, and another time to Mt Gambier and back. I have no idea what I get around town, somewhere south......deep south probably, but who cares, town is town.

At the moment, a single tank has lasted for two months.....waiting for a part from japan before I can use it again :D

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
