I have usually 3 dots above a 1/4 tank or 2 for that matter and have 122 left. When i'm up at 3/4 tank, i have usually 250-300 miles left on the tank...is your car drinking Methanol or Jet fuel for EPA MPG? LOL!

Nice car btw, love the build.

Just imaging so far 3k miles and every time the car is over 60/80mph every day. So this is what the ecu calculates or consumption. Here for where i used to go it is very short distance from 5 to 30 min max trip. There is not much room for long trips unless i go to the beach and thats like 100km from my house and if i do that i push it harder like the pic 140-160mph BUT! if i go like a normal person

i can raise the MPG from 7.8 which is right now to like 12MPG almost

That is the reason why it show 122. Don't get wrong the ecu is 100% accurate as i want to think it is but thats not the one who drives and shifts. 7 o 15mpg it will be the result of how i use it. Remember that the ecu will change stats but tank capacity will stay as it comes from factory

wow! IMO you should go with the BP kit upgrade to a large turbo and build your block. not only will it be cheaper but I bet you could get even more power if you wanted

+1 on the boosted performance twin scroll single turbo kit. Would have gone the same route if I didn't already have boost plans.

we get similar gas mileage

6MT-Z34 · 02-21-2014, 06:49 PM

Could it be the gas is not "great" and it burns really quick??

BTW great looking car!!

I left the car this week. 1 week to get some things fixed.

1. Because race car the rear suspensión was noisy. Every time i passed a speed bumper (of course slowly) it sounded like a old rubber. They took out the suspension and the right side is the problem.

It seems that the hypermax was very dirty and every time the spring pushes down it sounded weird. This is the 2nd time that happens. The last time they cleaned up the suspension, etc and the sound was gone but they said it will showed up again because the suspension i got is rigid (race thingy)

2. The right intake was lose and every time (random/depends how the road was) a clicking sound showed up. The bad things is that the stillen intake get lose in time to time and the right one got wear marks. For this they are putting double sided tape to "cover the noise".

Now i understand why the top secret form is what they sell and obviously the price is x4 (of course titanium)

3. They re did the job paint because there was a flaw.

4. Im thinking of Ecutek or Uprev because sometimes i feel there is a lack of power on some situations and sometimes i say. WOW that was rude. My friend says GT-R Swap and i say bitch slap

5. Took off my tow hook to be measured for the plate holder

6. Just bought Batman Arkham Origins: Nerdy edition

So, yep. That is how it goes so far. Nothing exciting, just resolving some minor issues. Modding stock parts with race parts will make the car so...(complete the black if you want)

2 Things i noted comparing the 350z i had and the 370z:

1. Both got the same intake issue noisy when it sets lose. Like a clicking sound
2. Both suffer from the right side every time i pass a speed bumper. SCRATCH!

But why??
