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.

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
