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

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 :)

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
