R32 GTS (RB20 DET) Reliability??

I can easy get 600km's to a tank highway driving.

I replaced my timing belt and water pump recently. Takes a few hours to do as long as your are mechanically minded.

Cheers,

Nice.  So if you putter around you can still get pretty good figures.  CHris you are making some good no.s  lookingat your sig.  

How bad is that traffic that you are getting 11L/100k?

the traffic is typical to and from work traffic I guess, I travel 25k's to and from work and it takes around 45mins to a hour depending on how heavy the traffic is.

Highway driving I average around 8-9 litres per 100kms, but I give it a bit every now and then, I love over taking commodore drivers

On the track I had quite appaling economy, I did almost 80 km's on the track in total and used a massive 38 litres of petrol, but I guess you are either accelerating or stopping, so that is to be expected

With a clean set of injectors, decent wheel allignment (that makes a decent differance) and a working o2 sensor, you 'should' be able to get 400kms to a tank no probs

In 1 year/20000km I've replaced the alternator & my heater box has had to be bypassed due to leakage. Some of the front end rubbers are on the way out I think though.

I replaced the turbs (upgraded - old one seems fine though), timing belt & all fluids not long after getting the car.

Its an 89 with high kms & has been in the country for 8 or 9 years. I get 8 or 9L/100km on the highway & 13L/100km in traffic. This is with 11psi, R34 turbs, 3in turbo back & filter.

If fuel economy is a big issue stick to NA cars
