Fuel range GU 2010

[93patrol]

i have a mate with a standard 2009 gu auto and he cleans his MAF once a month and gets the best economy out of it then when he doesn't clean it regulary it uses more diesel.


Fry was saying that if his boost goes over 8PSI his economy goes down hill but i can't remember fully what he said but his is also manual

Some of the km range figures people are throwing here makes me nervous. I'm lucky to get 700 form both tanks. That's 120L. Although I do have 33" all terrains, bull bar and steel roof rack, I was hoping for better economy. Mine is mostly city/suburban driving though (stuck on the bloody ring road). Now that I've freed the car up a bit with some NADS (drives much smoother) we'll see what that does to the economy.

That seem a lot I can get 900 k out of 120 lt with 33 MUDs bullbar winch, loaded draws, lifted

Fark no don't tell me that,so this thing is as hungry as my other.i fill up my 130lt tank on the gq and get close to 750 if I work hard on saving fuel(ie not doing 120-130 while towing)
I really thought(well I didn't think actually) that being newer would be heaps better economy...Fark
finding out about 3" exhaust and chip today or over the weekend hopefully.My mate works at the Nissan dealer down here and his mate is trading his car in with it all,he is pulling it off so I can grab them cheap of him if I please..

Last time I checked I got 12.5l/100km. I run 33" AT with rear bar and dual spare wheels and its a manual. I am yet to do a car km vers GPS km check on it tho.
No other mods to the car what so ever.

Also with regards to 93Patrols post I find that if shes sitting on around 9PSI or higher it starts sucking the juice. thats usually anything over 85-90kmph for me. I have some small leaks in my intercooler as well.

If you clean the maf sensor regularly it'll make a difference, deffinatly worth checking it with the multimeter to see if it's working correctly. Mine had done 180,000km before I luckly only busted my intercooler. I'd be checking the intake manifold/getting it cleaned if it hasn't had the egr blocked and oil catch can. Also the DEA 3" pipes on ebay are awesome and only $600!!

just been wondering if the new car is using to much fuel,getting close to 400km and closer to the quarter than the half,any one know what range to expect out of a 3LT GU 2010,have pm'd someone and they said they got close to 750 once but usually less than that.Does the last bit last longer than the first bit.Seems just as thirsty as my GQ 4.2lt.hopped in it today and just thought it has used a bit of fuel for the km I have done thats all.
Cheers

Buy a scan gauge. Easily the best "under $200" accessory you can have on a CRD Patrol.

The tell you how much fuel you used, how much you are using, fuel left etc etc

You will save $200 in fuel in 12 months easily plus never use your fuel gauge again. They also monitor boost pressure, coolant temp, engine load, Alternator etc etc etc

The only other instrument you will ever need is an EGT gauge... and maybe a tranny temp gauge if you have an auto and tow very heavy trailers.

I get 12.5 LPH averaged over 140,000 K's but my vehicle is "heavily mod'd and heavy. I clean the MAF every 20,000 K's or so but have never noticed much difference altho it probably doesn't get dirty enough to start playing up.

On the intake about 300mm from the air box. Easy to see.

You will need an appropriate size security torx bit to undo the mounting screws

decided to finish this tank through it then do the MAF clean and see if recognise the difference,fuel light come on at 473km,put transfer pump on run that through then clean it.

got the torx bit thanks,best thing about living opposite the workshop.
