What is the fuel consumption of the GTR?

[LucilleLee]

The fuel consumption of the GTR is 12.10L per kilometer. Below is some related information about the GTR: Relationship: The GT-R was originally a suffix for the Skyline series, but in 2007, after more than five years of development, the new CBA-R35 model was separated from the Skyline name to become Nissan's flagship performance car. The GT-R was elevated from a suffix to a standalone series, giving birth to the Nissan GT-R. Since then, the Skyline GT-R represents Nissan's classic models. GTR: The GT-R has a completely different design philosophy from other supercars when it comes to 'weight.' Unlike other manufacturers that strive to reduce weight for superior handling, the GT-R achieves its goals by optimizing driving force and weight distribution to maximize the grip of all four wheels. In short distances, the GT-R accelerates faster than many other sports cars.

As a long-time GTR owner who has driven it for five years, I've actually measured the fuel consumption. In congested city traffic, it can reach 15-18 liters per 100 km, while highway cruising is around 10-12 liters. On average, it's about 13 liters. The 3.8L twin-turbo engine packs a punch but also has a hefty appetite, especially in sport mode when you floor the throttle—fuel consumption can easily exceed 20 liters per 100 km. If you frequently hit the track or have modified the exhaust, be prepared for your fuel tank to protest. But let's be honest, who really buys this car worrying about fuel economy? That said, regular maintenance like changing spark plugs and cleaning carbon deposits can help slightly reduce consumption, as older cars are prone to accumulated wear and tear.

Recently studying performance car data, the official fuel consumption of the GTR NISMO version is around 12 liters per 100 kilometers, but in actual driving, you need to add two or three liters more. The throttle response of this car is too sensitive, and at traffic lights, it's easy to accidentally rev up to 3000 rpm, pushing the urban fuel consumption straight to 16L. The rear-wheel-drive to all-wheel-drive system also consumes a bit more fuel, especially noticeable in rainy or snowy weather. It's recommended to pay attention to tire pressure, around 2.5Bar is the most economical, and using gasoline with an octane rating of 95 or above can ensure more complete combustion, potentially saving a few hundred dollars in fuel costs in the long run.

Just accompanied a friend for a test drive of the GTR. The salesperson said the combined fuel consumption is 12.8L, but actual measurements showed 17L in traffic. With a 55L fuel tank, it barely runs 300km in the city on a full tank, but can reach 500km on long trips. Compared to its counterpart, the Porsche 911, the GTR is indeed a bit of a gas guzzler. However, it has great modification potential, and many people actually achieve better fuel efficiency after ECU tuning. To reduce costs, use launch control mode less often, switch to comfort mode for daily driving, and use 0W-40 full synthetic oil—personally tested to reduce fuel consumption by 8%.

Last track day, I drove the GTR for laps and it consumed 40 liters of fuel in two hours, averaging 20L/100km. Daily driving isn't that extreme though. The older R35 can manage 9L/100km on pure highway runs, and the new hybrid version offers limited improvement. Pay attention to engine temperature—poor cooling can cause fuel consumption to skyrocket. After upgrading to a larger intercooler, my car only uses 14L/100km with AC on in summer. Also, change the rear differential oil every 20,000 km. Higher transmission efficiency naturally saves fuel, which is more practical than some fuel-saving tricks.

The repair shop has seen too many GTRs, with the common issue of high fuel consumption often stemming from oxygen sensors and fuel injectors. Some customers complain about fuel consumption of 18 liters; upon inspection, it turns out carbon buildup has clogged the fuel injector holes. After walnut shell blasting cleaning, it returns to 13 liters. For daily driving, it's recommended to use cruise control more often, as the transmission is most fuel-efficient in 7th gear at 80km/h. Although wider tires look cool, changing from 265 to 305 width increases fuel consumption by over 1 liter. Here’s a lesser-known fact: turning off the VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) stability system can save a bit of fuel, but don’t do this on rainy days—safety first, haha.
