Getting 200ks outta a 34 is symptoms of something wrong. Book it in to get a full service with a mechanic tht deals with imports and they should be able to suss it out for u.

hey im new to this website.. but reading ur problems.. i have asked Dr Phil and he has advised me that getting 200k's out of an r33 would be pretty average. that would be thrashing it everyday, full ehaust, boosted to 15 pound and air filter. i just did a test recently which involved driving around like Dr Phils grandma- exectly like a grandma and not going over 3000 revs, shifting early and not letting the blow off valve release(no boost anyway) and i was stoked that i got 320 k's out of it. its usually bout 250 which includes a bit of both driving methods.. but it is known that r33 temp sensors are sumtimes faulty which cause overfueling... hope this helps

dr. phil does know everything

320km's from a full tank isn't that good either. I managed to get just under 500km's from a tank full by driving off boost for the whole tankful. Normally I get about 300km's~400km's from a tank.

This is on an R33 GTS25T, with GT2530 550cc injectors and PowerFC.

I'd start with the O2 sensor; then look at your fuel lines - maybe a hairline crack somewhere.

Don't laugh at my comment, someone actually had a hole in their fuel tank and was complaining about getting 40ks out of a tank :)

    • Thanks for sharing. That's a great video! My buddy is doing the same thing on his build (S chassis struts and towers). He's building an S14 with billet RB30 shooting for 2000whp... a race car with a TH400 just like this video. For a road car I just couldn't go this route as the strut has to be almost vertical and the caster is not going to pivot correctly (let alone camber gain). You think the R32 frontend is bad, wait till you put a MacPherson strut on without modeling it all in Solidworks to check geometry. I'm not saying it's a bad way to do it but I'd be really curious to see how it affects the geometry.
    • Hey Christof and welcome!  Sounds like an awesome project! I'm not sure many of the regular users on here would know much about the HK but I could be wrong.  Looking forward to updates.
    • As long as its NOT a HyperSHITtune, youll be fine.
    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
