Giday guys
I'm booking my patrol into Turbo Engineering in Thomastown soon to have it tuned.
I've been keeping track of fuel use since I got it a few months ago, not real happy with it.
Anyone had work done from there that can share the experience?
After I have had the work done ill post up the results of fuel use a few weeks later to compare.
Ill try to add a printout of the PDF file with fuel use figures.
Ignore the first 3 entries not sure what went wrong there.
Cheers Ill

i have the same vehicle it does about 6 klm per litre,my previous two patrols were 3litre manuals not crd and did 8.5klm per litre , havent been able to improve its thirst,what are your figures.
Whats that in ltrs /kilometers, also what size tyres
you'll get great fuel figures with 265s [32] OE tyres
changes when running 285s.
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Not sure why the CRD's have such wide variance in their fuel economy. For some reason you can have 2 stock cars straight from the factory floor and one will use 11l/100 and the other 19l/100. Go figure.
There are lots of other factors like accessories, tyres, weight, temperature, etc that will contribute to usage
Lots of people have tried number of things to rectify the issue but the only one I heard fixing the issue was replacement of pump/injectors and the rail. Nissan of course will say its normal and wipe their hands of it.
The guys that persist and fight on get some resolution to the problem

Those figures are about what I'm getting also, on stock Tyres 15-16per100 ,16-17per100 with 33's .will be interested to see the change you get after tune but will depend what other mods are on your rig, I know mine is on the heavier end of the scale
Would be around 16.6 per 100Originally Posted by threedogs
Depends on how I drive also, lowest I got was 11 point something, highest in the 18's, but I usually get between 13 and 14 litres per hundred.
The last tank I got 655km's and filled up 86 litres. And I always have a full sub tank. GU8 3L Auto. Chip and zorst. 275/70/17 I think.

I think mine is just a fraction better than yours mate, about 6.5Klm per litre.

Mine is pretty stable on usage so it doesn't matter on how I drive it. Mostly get 12.5l/100 around town or highway, flogging it or nanna driving...lol
That is with front and rear bar, winch, drawers, lift, underbody protection, 33's, etc
Used to be 10.5l/100 stock.
..........on the move
