Ummm very dependent on how you drive it mate. The turbo can be your best friend or your worst enemy. (fuel consumption wise)

You can fill the tank for about $50. Well given the price of premium fuels at the moment maybe $60-$65

On a whole, very good considering the kick in the pants power it offers when you need it. Cheaper to run than a V6 commodore and a lot more fun.

Not sure how many k's I would get driving around town, as I seem to suffer from some strange affliction that prevents me ever remembering to reset the trip meter when filling the tank.

On the highway I would guess somewhere around 450 km + to a tank - on Saturday drove from Tuggers to Autosalon at Homebush, then on to Gladesville, filled up at Marulen on the way home, which I reckon would be around the 450 mark.

If you are getting something drastically less you could do what I did - clean your AFM, replace your air filter and O2 sensor, and reset your ECU.

You grandmothers!!! Is this the CWA website or the SAU one??? Economy.... bleh

Depending, I can get about the 450 km mark on the highway if I take it easy.

I can use a whole tank in 200 kays or less - no dramas. My "record" was 120kms, but that was with dyno tuning:burnout:

About $55 $60 for a fill

BAAHA HA HA HA HA HA

Seiously though, it would be good to get a little more km's to a tank...

Im getting 350, sometimes I will push it to 400 (end of month) when funds are looowww....But I hate that.

About $60.00 to fill these days. BP Ultimate only though.

Well I have an R33 motor in my car but I have a considerably bigger tank cos its an R31... But, I have driven it from full down to 1/4 and only gone 124kms! (thrashing the shit out of it) on the other hand I have done the same thing and made 380kms.

Depends on the way you drive.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
