RB20DET, Stock turbo 15psi 164rwkw

City: 470km's per ~50litres. That is until the red light first shows.

Open Road: Not sure have never taken it on a full tank.

WOT: Booting it the RB20DET would drop fuel economy to low 400's per tank.

Driving style didn't appear to make much difference to fuel economy.

RB30DET - Stock rb20det turbo 176rwkw 9psi.

City: 450km's per 50litres.

Open Road: Again. Not sure.

WOT: Booting it the RB30DET drops to 380km's per tank.

I'm scared to start swapping out the stock injectors incase fuel economy goes to the sh*t. :D

Mind you Bl4ck32 has 550cc rx7 injectors thats all been tuned up, his rb30det in his r32 tends to get slightly better fuel economy than mine.

ive found a trend in my car. it's basically always KMs/10 + 10 = Litres of fuel

so 350kms = 45L filled up

400km = 50L filled up ... and so on

my 33's usage was similar

so far ive only had one tank which was used for pure thrashing and i did about 250km in 55Ls :D

freeway driving is typically a lot better than the formula above.. the other day after filling up, i drove 130kms. then i pulled over and filled it up again, and i only put in 16Ls..

edit: i just realised that the above does not apply to u as i have an rb25det in my 32.. lol sorry.

Hiya,

I've got an R32 GTS-t manual and I get roughly 380-400km out of the tank of regular city/suburban driving.

just did a drive up to Sydney and back a few weeks ago before that dreaded fuel increase and estimated with general cruising averaging 115-120km/h I could get around 600km to the tank.

Mind you though the car's running an aftermarket replacement ECU and it doesn't run an airflow metre anymore so I was expecting it to drink more than that... :)

Fuel tanks get a build up of crap over the years. A friend of mine had a vl turbo that used to run really rough whenever the fuel gauge went below 1/4. Thats the worst I've ever seen.

You could fix it by taking the fuel tank out and cleaning it out, but that is just sooooo much effort, much easier to just keep a nice amount of fuel in there. :)

    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
    • When you looking to buy injectors?? I could possibly sell you my 1d1700s for decent price. Done little work I just need bigger again 😫
