I've got an R31 with a series 2 RB25DET and a much larger than standard turbo. (hits about 4,000)

I get about 400 km's to 60 litres (i think it's 60 litre tank)

With booting here and there of course :D

I'm taking it easy on this tank so i wanna see how far it will go

My (english conversion) owner's manual says my R33 has a 65 litre tank.... however, I can not recall putting any more than 52-53 litres in here.

Oh, I get 300kms per tank - which I think is crap economy (I have some mods tho)

i only ever get about 52L in there but then again the fuel light is never ever on. i think it was on once and even then i still put about 53L in there.

and I am sure that the fuel light will come on with at least 8L in there so I am thinking 60L tank.

I get about 350 off a tank. but i can always smell fuel so yeah maybe there is a leak of sorts.

shockingly guzzly car innit!!

for my R32 (rb20det) whenever i fill it up from when the light is on.. it gets 55L in there.

City driving i get about 300-350 per tank.

Country is around 450+

then thrashing it just kills it.. dont expect to get good economy with the boost coming on like mad every set of lights.

My owners handbook says the R33 has a 62 litre tank. The most I've put in was 59.8 litres (running on fumes I think). There is a 10 litre reserve I think, so it should show empty when you have about 10 litres left. I usually get arounf 400km per tank, but a few times I've gotten as high as 450km

if u smell fuel check ur filler cap, or where your cap screws on to, the metal thingy you stick the nozzle in when fillin up, mine was vaporising thru there.Or most likely she's runnin rich and under boost, my car was getting 270km out of a tank and on 5-6psi boost. Put the car on the dyno and the A/F ratio was reading 9.XX on 5-6psi AFM was sending wrong signals somehow, solution brought the Apexi SAFC and I was able run more boost and now getting around 400km to a tank...have it dynoed...My bro in law brought a line too and mentioned what happened with mine he got his dynoed and it turns out his was runnin rich and underboost aswell....

61 litre tank in mine.

A little over 400k's per tank (city driving)

Extractors are the only current engine mod.

I hope to go on lots of long drives soon so I can tell what the economy is like on the open road. :(

Shit! That means my car engine mgt must be really bad (250-300km per full tank). I've since gotten rid of the old ECU and have put in a Microtech. So the car's tuned now and should run better. However, I dont think my R33's going to achieve as much as 400km per full tank!

Thanks for the informative feedback guys! With the event of war with Iraq looming, we've got to watch out for fuel usage. Have you seen the fuel prices lately?!! 104.5 for Synergy 8000 (Mobil). Ouch! I'm boosting less nowadays.

My 97 r33 GTST Spec II i get around 400ks with a full tank.

Sometimes 350kish when I boost lots

I can only put in like max 53 litres at any time though.

This is with the needle on the redline but no idiot light.

Does anyone know tank capacity when the idiot light comes on?

I have put 64.8l in my series 1...

She stopped and started (stuttered) 50m from the petrol station, thought I was going to have to push her.....

BTW I run just shy of 400km a tank, week in week out, just as she hits reserve (the light) and always have 8-10l left in the tank. No mods 'cept air (exhaust on the way) and I know/can see that she is running way rich.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
