Your rig would be more on par with mine and a few others on here and for the most part I see between 15-18 depending on the driving and I think that goes for many others I know of on here with similar set ups.

My 90 td42t with standard ht18 turbo maxed out getting 12-13 psi is getting 11/100 average and getting your mileage towing the camper fully loaded.

Are you in vic?

I would be getting a decent tune mate and see what they can do.

I use dieseltec in Lilydale vic.

Rossco and I got 10.5/100 on some of our touring trips mate. These usages seem awfully high for both your set ups.

[Rossco]

Does it have a roof rack? Does sound a little high i get around 12 ish L per 100 with mine - td GQ with 35s and 4.6 diffs. To be honest haven't noticed much difference between 3.9 and 4.6 diff ratios just out of interest. . .

We averaged just under 15/100 on our Simpson trip... Both had roof racks too and we were fully loaded and not exactly taking it easy.
I average about 13 with mine not loaded normally, and about 16 towing the camper.

[MudRunnerTD]

Yeah I'm around 12 or 13 in the GUIV for every day driving fwy and around town. 18 towing the trailer.

I have know idea what the GQ does cause I don't care!! Lol

judging by the amount of coal you were rolling up the rocky track I would say your fuel screw is wound right up

[nissannewby]

Average between 13-14 in the gu with 35s and 26psi. At close to 3t. The thing weighs 2.7 with an empty tray and only 25% fuel load.

What are you saying Benny... shit tune?
Was told when i had it done the turbo was a touch too big.

[Clunk]

I get an average of around 14

No mate no roof rack but it does have a old man sun visor ha ha. Its economy was the same before i put the turbo on it too i thought i would of seen a slight improvement so i dunno whats driving it up? Any way here is a pic of my pride and joyhttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=58209&stc=1http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=58208&stc=1

Sure the visor would add a pooftinth extra to usage but not that much.

I haven't seen too many gq's with those flares, nice!

No mate i fitted the turbo kit up myself its a turboglide setup iv got vdo digital pyro, boost, water temp i turned the boost up to 15psi and wound the fuel up probaly no more than half a turn my egts dont get past about 420c post turbo so i still have more room to wind the fule up more but i dont want it to be even more thirsty, oh and the flare kit was a ebay job i tore the originals off on fraser island

[padams77]

I anyone running a td42 auto? Wondering what it will be like economy wise

Whereabouts are you?

[robbo_]

Mate im up in mackay i dont know of any good diesel tuners around my area, saying that i haven't had a hard look but if u think a good dyno tune will help im all for it

[Ben-e-boy]

Im pretty sure there is a diesel/dyno joint on Malcomson st

[nissannewby]

Yeah there is. Or could make a day trip down to diesel central in rocky.
