this has been covered 1000's of times but since we are here here is the fuel usage from my last couple of tanks:

465km from 56.88L --> 12.16 L/100km

423km from 52.97L --> 12.52 L/100km

I have had as high as 17 L/100km for a track day and lowest was around 11.5 L/100km when they were all highway kms. Average is around 12.6 L/100km.

On Optimax, 1995 R33 GTST with turbo back exhaust and pod filter thats it. To measure the fuel consumption I set the odometer to zero when I fill the tank then measure how much fuel it takes when I next fill up.

all i know is that i get 240km on a full tank of premium from my er34 auto, how do people get 400-450 on a tank? better/regular tuning? regular maintance? driving like your driving miss daisy?

holy shit

do u thrash the car at every traffic light?

:P

Quoting a useable fuel range doesn't give a measure of consumption or economy (depends how you calculate fuel use). JCMarshall_Law has the only reliable method for establishing fuel consumption, and it is the one I follow also.

General use I experience is 8.4-9.0 km/l, with a best of 9.4km/l, and worst 5.5km/l. Stock boost, FMIC, full 3" exhaust with split dump.

I don't drive like Miss Daisy, but do try to maximise the number of km between fills I enjoy behind the wheel.

cheers

nope im extremely sensible in my skyline :innocent: , really. i drive noramally since the fuel economy is so bad, also after the FMIC mod i did, the fuel usage has increased slightly. Im going to have to take it to get i tuned and checked out, seems to have quite a loud rattling sound coming from the right cam cover....... :werd:

I've check the spark plugs there fine however like most r34 my coil packs are on the way out so maybe a new set might fix the problem. The exhaust gas smells extremely rich, can nissan dealerships be trusted for a tune with the rb25det motor?

I get about 300-360 km per tank. So far I have replaced the O2 sensor, cleaned the injectors, put a pod filter, adjusted teh timing, regapped the spark plugs to .95. After regapping the plugs the economy is worse. I m thinking i should put it back to .8. If that does not work, i m out of ideas for the economy.

Actually I have a bleed valve sitting at about 9 psi. I know that 25DET goes into rich and retarded mode. But does it do that when you are off high boost as well, ie does it run rich ALL the time after sensing high boost?

Guys your cars all sound f**ked.

Stock my car was getting 400-450km.

With mods (240rwkw, 16psi) I get just under 400km before I refill. My last tank (freak tank) got me 460km!

Generally if I give it a lot of thrash I'll get just over 350km. Anything under 300 with normal driving and I'd be sure somethings wrong.

ive got a r32 with a rb25det also .. running 9 psi making 260 rwhp and using safc 2 to manage my fuel and air. It been tuned and im getting around 250k's on city driving.. i am suspicion of my diff gearing though.. it feels very low... but surely it couldnt be causing such a big difference in economy.

Mate,

I feel your pain, I got an er34 gtt too, but manual. If im lucky i go through around 300+ on a full tank.... Im not sure if this is a common problem with the 34's.

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
    • Yeah, my offer was more to show exactly how rough and ready the rig can be and still be useful. Youtube vids will definitely show cleaner setups. Same concept though.
    • I would guess the seal has gone down at the speedo drive and gearbox oil has crept up the drive cable sheath and fouled the speedo head.
